Hey, about this bbs. I just want to give you a heads up about some better bbs that I know you will like better than matrixs.

www.ricksairsoftarmory.com

Follow this link and go to his AirsoftElite bb's section. Those are much better bb's in every aspect. And they are not too much more expensive. I've ordered from him as well, and he has great custormer service. He only charges the normal rates for shipping and handling. Like for the bag that I ordered, I was only charged $4 for shipping, a total of $15.00, and that is pretty good for AE bbs. If you order from him, just ask him for the deal of 3 bags for $40.00 or 5 bags for $60.00. Trust me, it will be worth the little extra cash. In Utah, which is where I moved from, these are like the only bbs that are use down there because they work so well.

And I have the exact same holster as above. It is great. There a few things that did to it to make it up to my standards, but after those few upgrades, it works great. And it truly does form to your gun.

Anways, I just wanted you to know about the bbs. Happy b-day!

A strong word of advice - ditch the holster and get a higher end one.


It may seem silly, but I have seen a lot of players lose their guns or magazines for their pistols out in the field, when the problem could've been headed off by buying a higher quality holster in the first place...

I lost a desert eagle mag just like Knight mentioned. The mag release on that gun is enormous and when I would run, the holster would hit my leg, which would push down the mag release and out it would go! I could have lost more than one if I wasn't walking in front of people who noticed.

I took toggle's route and purchased a SERPA holster that's amazing. It is a hard case, so the mag release can't be pushed when in the holser. It also detaches with the push of a button instead of a button strap that runs throughout the back.

The vest is like 79.99 bird. I looked into a SERPA holster, but I cant seem to find an all-in-one package with the OD color to fit a glock.

the real bhi serpa drop leg rig is pretty expensive but worth its weight in the money you pay. 109 - 120 depending on where you buy and with what gun you will holster.

For that much money on gear you can step up into real equipment - like a full TT MAV set....

Not to be a annoying, but you may want to consider a vest like this:

www.redwolfairsoft.com...odID=19864

It's almost what you have already found, but with thick shoulder pads and with molle/pal attachments in the back. And it's about the same price. Maybe even a little cheaper.

And then there's also this:

www.redwolfairsoft.com...odID=19952

This is the same holster as above, I think, but it's from the same company. So you don't have to order twice. And plus, RedWolf is a respected airsoft company. You won't go wrong with them.

I'm just trying to help a brother out, so please don't get mad at me for being so annoying. Hope these two products help you in your quest for gear.
