Tinkering with some carry options

I really like discreet carry clips, but they seem to shred my pockets.

Normal ulti-clips don't always fit over the thick seam on some of my pockets, and they can be a pain to get off my pants. However, ulti-clip has the "AP" clip, which seems to work pretty well. I've been liking it on my edc1.2, but I haven't tried it on something larger yet.

I’ll have to try that AP clip for pocket carry. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:
BTW you can bend out the hook on the DCC clip slightly with a pair of needle nose pliers so it doesn’t catch so aggressively.
 
Baldric carry for the HC.

You should check out jello powder for signaling. Pretty effective visual from the air.
