getting it to fit snuggly has never been a problem.i've heated most of me spec-ops sheaths,i have 6 or 7 at least.

i could get a gamewarden to fit snuggly also but it wouldnt br right and while not as extreme of an example i feel the same way about the DM.

for my own pesonal likings it is too much sheath for that knife.i consider the DM to be a smaller knife but when it comes to carrying it around,your knife is only aas small as the sheath it rides in.

i carry the DM when i want something smaller.if i'm going to put it in the same sheath as a rd-4 than i might as well carry the larger rd-4 because it all going to be the same on my hip while in a spec-ops sheath.

and while i dont like to admit it,i do have a little fashion quirk as far as knives go.my knife has to match its sheath.for example,all my tan micarta handles rangers are in coyote brown Spec-Ops sheaths.my tan and sage chopweiler is in a tan one and the DM jusr doesnt look right in their to me.it just looks too small.

i wish so bad that they would make both a smaller and larger version of these sheaths and i have even e-maile them a few times about this.

they are advertising a new shaeth although i havnt seen it on their web-site yet.

it is very simple.instead of the pouches on the front it just has some MOLLE/PALS webbing so you can attach the pouch of your choice.it would work real well for me with some of my flashlight pouches or a nice molle pouch i have for a GPS.

we'll be seeing a lot of them soon.
