Reply With QuoteAre you being sarcastic, Im confused now. Elbows rifle butts or anything can trip the cm of plastic that is through the retaining loop if you only use the middle piece.
bluffcove is correct....
....
and as if by magic...
tah-dah.
Some blokes tape the fastening like on the right here, which is better than how you have yours Lerch as it stops the toggle flapping about, but also provides more tension to keep the middle toggle in the fastening loop. Even then it only tends to be your left ammo pouch like this, where you might need access in a hurry, otherwise you would do them up properly as bluffcove says.

That's the way I do up mine. I always use the velcro as well. If I'm worried that someone is close enough to hear me open a pouch, then I'm hardly going to take a long swig of water...
I reckon I might get my ammo pouches modded up with those long velcro strips....ah, the Sunday night kit musings. It's time like these that you realise you ought to text your muckers and meet them down the pub!

In my experience (albeit only cadets and airsoft) using only the middle fasteners is reasonable secure, especially if you tape the top half of the thick strap of the fastener to the thin strap.
God, I hate to say this.
I agree with Hauser - I've never felt the need to do up my pooches any way other than the one on the right of Ubar's pic.
I can't remember one ever coming undone and even if it did, the bungee round the outside and the immersion sack inside the pooch would keep the contents in place.
Hahahahaha.
Anyway, totally changing the subject from the exciting world of pouch fastening, does anyone know who makes a DPM chest rig with three double mag pouches across the centre, with 3 40mm grenade pouches either side? Will post a pic when I get round to it, but bought it off ebay for about £5 (bargain) and was wondering if anyone here knew who actually made it.
Sounds like a specially made rig, since almost every chest rig I've seen commercially had the two utility pouches on the side.
Royal almost sounded convincing, until he called it a 'pooch'......

Cut an old man some slack
I bet you were glad you weren't back on the mud flats again though. The joes seemed to be enjoying that part!
I duuno - I have happy memories of mud runs
There was a YO Troop about to pass out when I went into Kings Squad. They dropped a monumental bollock two days before their parade - so they went for a mud run.

What a mistake-a to make-a!
This is what we use in the dutch army, its the new pouch for the trifold trenching tool.
it closes pretty easy, sometimes it opens if you lean against a tree or something.
