Gotcha - I'm tracking, now. For me, I wanted a holster for running and rucking (and I have used several dif't types), but I also wanted something that could carry more than just a pistol and I wanted it to front load, so I got the Snubby. I already had a SHTF bag, but it's getting old and I plan to replace it with
this. A friend of mine just got one, but hasn't put any mileage on it yet. Regarding the Snubby, it's a nice compliment to carrying a rucksack - especially if you integrate it with something like the
Umlindi . The rear harness is durable, yet you hardly even know it's there (even when you're wearing it with a rucksack).
As for strength and quality, they are rugged and extremely tough. I've probably rucked around 400 miles while using it over the past year and have run it through the thick briar patch hell on earth that is commonly referred to as Pelham Range at Ft. McClellan. I've taken it kayaking, fishing, hunting, etc. It's still strong and there's no slack in the lifter straps or the lateral torsion straps. When I cinch it down, it remains in place just like the first time I wore it. The seams are strong and still holding up. There are no frays or other malfunctions. The zippers are stout. The interior pockets hold up and do not stretch out. I've carried everything from compasses to jerky to ammo in them and they're good to go.
If I had to think of any cons, it would be that they aren't waterproof. So, I just treat it with some Scotchguard, keep some ziploc bags on hand and move on. By the way, there is a forum on HPG's website. They cover quite a few topics and have lots of info for different rigs and what not. It is located
here.
Best of luck!
