The joke is going to be on all of the zombie gear fans when zombies actually rise, and it turns out they are ATTRACTED to that putrid green color marketing execs have so effectively associated with the (completely incomprehensible) fan phenomenon.

Nice pictures greaser.
I notice you have your holster COM on your chest rig. Have you used that set up prone? Or have you hit the deck hard with it on?

LOL you may be right it is a bright and hard to hide color but I liked green before it was Zombie cool so I had to get one.
My tech. for hitting the deck has always been more on my side kind of a PLF movement than straight on my front so its hasn't been an issue for me in that area as far as prone as long as I am not trying to low crawl it is fine the steel plates give me a nice smooth platform to lay on. In all the training and real life experiences I have encountered real low crawling is not the preferred method of moving. If push came to shove and I had to low crawl into a position to fire on someone I can do it just not as effectively. I totally understand what you are saying it is just a trade off I can live (or die) with at this point. I don't like to have anything on my back or too much on my sides because of mounted ops but I do wear a battle belt just no pics of it right now so I can drop or leave the armor if needed and still have mags and other needed gear.

I was just wondering if you've had any problems. My main gripe with that location is it preventing you from hugging enough earth when you really need to do so.
I also watched a Beretta get chewed up once in some sandy gravel.

I could see the pistol getting damaged in that position but I know when I used to wear it on a drop holster it got smashed and bashed alot as well.

That looks like a modern Hoosier cabinet.

It is!
We have an original from my wife's great-grandmother in our Great Room. It has much more character (not to mention its been in the family for four generations).

Yours is a nice cabinet.
We had an old one when I was growing up in California. It has been moved many times and finally fell apart a few years ago. I want to take it to a cabinet maker to see if he can put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Oh yeah, I like the rifle, knives, and all that booze too!

The funny part about the booze...I'm basically a non-drinker! I'll have a beer or glass of wine occasionally, but don't even really enjoy that much.
We moved my wife's great-grandmother's in the back of our SUV for a 13 hour drive. I was afraid we weren't going to be able to get out of of the back without it falling apart. It held up, and looks really nice in our Great Room. Its the traditional stained oak with leaded glass variety.
The black cabinet with stainless counter is a neat contemporary hommage (not homage) to the traditional Hoosier. It worked a lot better in our old house, but is acceptable in our Family Room at the new place.

hommage is an art term that isn't in common use so people don't think I meant "homage" ...
hommage (sometime misspelled as homage) is an allusion or imitation by one artist or art work to or of another.
