Although I have heard excellent things about them, and certainly he even uses one in one of his YouTube videos to demonstrate it's abilities. Pretty much his videos and knowle...

the extension could be to clear body armour/bullet proof vests, or it could be a custom arrangement. think old-school tactical thigh rig. it could have been for a mounted officer, perhaps the extension made it easier to draw whilst on horseback??

quick questions: which DALEX formula did you use, the one on his web page, or the revised version posted a while back? i.e. is it the 4:3 pearl gray: tan or something different? and did the thread take on the new color also? or did the thread remain white? how do the buttons look with the new color?...
