This thread is mainly directed to my fellow dinosaurs, who carried a revolver duty rig back in the day. You kids that never knew anything but plastic pistols will probably be as clueless as **** and as lost as a baby possum.
Since I found a killer deal on a duty holster for my 3 inch model 65-2, I've decided to put together a new duty rig for my little K frame.
Here's the holster I picked up from www.cdnninvestments.com
It's made by Gould & Goodrich in ballistic nylon, made speciffically for a 3 inch M&P revolver. I know, I know...it's a sin to carry a revolver in anything other than gunleather, but at 20 bucks? Yeah...I thought it would be ok.
Now then...here's the REAL question.
Which speedloader pouch?
I'm looking at a few different speedloader pouches. Basically, there are only two different kinds. You have the standard flapped double pouch that carries a pair of speedloaders on the belt, the pouch protruding away from the belt...

And you have the "split six" type that wrap around the belt, holding the pair of speedloaders that stradle the belt, with three rounds on either side...

While the "split six" design is less obtrusive and bulky, being closer to the body, they are a kinda PITA to remove from the belt. Plus, Safariland doesn't offer them in a "nylon look" finish like they do on the other style.
Then, they have this type of triple carrier...

According to some reviews I've read on the interwebs, removing the speedloaders require skills that few have. Of course, opinions are like noses.
Which one would YOU pick?
