It's all about the cross draw 
I've had both... I find the shoulder holster easier to draw from and more comfy. However as HS said it gets in the way of your other webbing and pockets, and crawling too.
could get a cavlary hip holster that binds to your leg and swivels. like a western cav holster
Yeah but looks poo! heheh j/k!
I like the cav hip holster 
looks groovy.
need to buy a holster too as my BELL 1911 arrived today. going to be fun playing with it at home tonight
Did you just say you were going to have fun playing with you BELL at home tonight?! 
har de har har. in all seriouesness though it will be interested to see if this chinese 1911 is a good repro of the TM one. especially for £26 with a hard case
Yeah, just be careful what gas you put through it fella!!
why? TM one can handle green cant it?
Feck it, for £26 you could get a new one for every game!!!
well its spot on the money!!!
tried all 3 mags and the things awesome. the finish isnt 100%. theres a few surface marks on the plastic but it gives it a nice battleworn look. tried all 3 mags and it seems to like green alot. gardens to short to set the hop so will do that at haggard but it was pretty accurate in the 15m I have here. kicks hard too. its a bit chilly here tonight so 2 of the mags had 1 bb left in each by the time the gas was spent(plus i was just rapid firing so the mags got cold as a witches nether regions) but otherwise its fantastic. cant fault it one bit. Roll on haggard
So thats the BELL 1911...i was looking at the WE 1911 ive heard and read thats a very good clone.
How many mags can I get into a mag bag?
Hiya Jon
most WW2 events runs to the same set of "CiA rules" , which include a max 600 bbs on all apart from period support weapons. Although I'm sure Mr Ashworth will be justifying a Bren/ 30 Cal to himself by August, in which case he can carry up to 3000

yep its the plastic bell 1911. the trade marks on it look better than the full metal one. got a heck of a weight to it though.
cant wait to see its real range
DOnt think you would be able to lugg a .50 cal around i think you mean a .30 cal
if barrie can lug a bren around the hills at bryansk then im sure a 50cal could be done 
wouldnt want to be the person to do it though
Problem is who carrys the tripod ?
The 50 cal is actually very light, the tripod is another matter as someone found out at the US training day 
i've put 4 mags through it so far. seems happy with the green
Linkage for the metal version of this gun purlease.
