[@HaleyStrategicPartners]

HaleyStrategic ahh... just realized something up with the sound... hmmm sorry about that

[@CaptainFluffen]

Didn't bother me that much!

[@jonjonjonnyjon]

HaleyStrategic Been a while since I've done it so I could be mistaken but if your lapel mic is running to an external recorder you have to clone the audio to both channels in editing since it records in mono.

[@ReverendMeat51]

[@Mrgunsngear]

Awesome video all around with great info.

[@electroniccheeks]

Yep liked it also.

[@StancePunk]

my left ear approves of this video

[@RobM93784]

I have been naturally doing this in classes for about a year now. I didn't learn it from anyone, it just made the most sense to me to move full mags to my easiest position to reload from. I love the explanation and thought/experience behind your methods of training.

[@LARPeratorsAnonymous]

It's amazing how much information this man knows And shares in every video. Always excited when I see a new Haley video go up!

[@MathiasLaakkonen]

Nice as always, just a little crappy audio quality. A question though. If you expend two mags and have two mags that are low on ammo. Is it stupid to transfer rounds from one mag to the other and then just go with the one mag for a subconscious speed reload?

[@HaleyStrategicPartners]

***** makes no sense... sound is fine, this is a video blog where we give free knowledge transfer, If I was working on a set with a big ass budget it would be better... sorry. As for your question, if you are transferring individual rounds in a gunfight then you either found a hell of an opportunity time block or the end of the world near...

[@MathiasLaakkonen]

HaleyStrategic Might be my headset, but there's no sound on the right side and your voice is a little muffled, but as you said this ain't a big budget movie so whatever, I appreciate the knowledge. It's all about time and opportunity, it was kind of a dumb question to begin with.

[@HaleyStrategicPartners]

***** no your right man, we had a problem slip through in post... trying to fix now thx for the heads up

[@tommycostello3262]

I’m curious as to how effective the retention is while using the D3CR Heavy with standard GI 5.556 mags? I’m in a dismounted reconnaissance company and I like the Heavy chest rig compared to the light because more pouches for me to store gear like NODs, maps, markers, panels, multi tools, and whatever mission essential gear we have to carry

[@SpartanG062]

I know it's a two year old comment but for anyone else wondering, the D3CR Heavy works fine with any 5.56 mag whether you're using the bungees or the MP2s.

[@tommycostello3262]

@@SpartanG062 100% lol if I could post photos or videos I would, one if the best rigs I’ve worked with overseas

[@papaswoodshop4873]

I don't care about the audio! Great info as always. Thank you Brother.

@HaleyStrategic, Travis Haley, will you adopt me as your padawan apprentice and train me in the Jedi?? I will use it only for good!

[@GlockUSMC]

Great improvement on magazine inserts. Glad to see more great theory based product out on the market for are chest rigs. And plate carriers. Great solid info. Should be called learning the fundamentals with Travis Haley. No! But I do try soak up the info like a sponge...

[@mikefischer22]

During the transition drill, would you want to also proactively load the handgun? If so would you do that prior to going back to the carbine or after?

[@daneracamosa]

Thanks for kicking this back out HS... never underestimate the value of what you guys are doing ...

[@bradengingerich6107]

what kind of mag holder do you have on your hip?? thanks

Good vid., I know this guy is ex-military but he"s a natural teacher also.............good on you Trav. .............:]

[@DTuner86]

Great vid, I've enjoyed my recent purchase and have trained well with the MP2 with my D3CR, as you've instructed. That aside, what is that low profile plate carrier you are wearing on the second half of the video? I like how very minimalistic it is since it marries well with the D3CR, thanks.

[@burningvalhalla3359]

How would I go about increasing the retention of these? Mine don't hold mags as well as I would like

[@kevincashoriginal7047]

Always a pleasure watching you operate. Learn more each time.

[@SuperSneakySniper]

I am a shameless BCM fanboy. If I owned nothing but BCM Ar15's i'd be happier than ever. It makes me glad to see someone like Travis using Bravo Company. Great company, hires and supports veterans, stands behind their products, and is always looking at ways to improve.

[@PPSChadwick]

I got the 4 pack in the mail this week along with the Flat Pack. Heading out tomorrow to run them both and see what I think but so far from the little interaction I've had with dry drills at home I do like both. Travis thanks for your continued R&D and dedication to your work. All your products so far are stellar.

[@wcw2793]

Would love to take some classes from this guy.

Does Travis not teach reloading in the workspace anymore?

[@JimmyGunXD556]

Travis-I will have to check these out. I always used the SKD inserts. Double stack m4 pouches doesn't work with SKD inserts..to tight. So I have bungee in the rears and inserts in the front. Can you use double stack M4 pouches with your inserts? thanks

[@Vvitale99]

Awesome video with great info. Thank you. I have been running the inserts in my D3 at the range for little over a week now and love them (Just need to get them out to a class now). Now I am just waiting for the sling to drop to replace my MS1.

[@isting14]

Great video, good stuff to practice, I have your d3 carrier and d3cr and I couldn't be happier it's some of the best kit I've ever owned, especially the d3 carrier for speed reloading I don't think you can find anything better or faster

Is that your D3 Sling? Can you say when it will be released?

[@leland4831]

Sorry but I can't use them. I have a D3CR-X running PMAG-30s GEN M3 for 300 Blackout and I can't get them out without using my dominant hand to pull the chest rig. Anybody wants a set of 3 brand new ones and one slightly heated one send me a reply. I've got extra Esstac inserts so I'll just use those. Can't send them back now either. Sham! I'm a fan of Travis and his gear.

[@shaolinwarrior87]

Which plate carrier is that in the beginning of this video? searched all over and couldn't find it. I'm running the D3CR on my PIG BRIG right now. I would like something with some molle/laser cuts and low profile like that one.

[@tittiger]

Is there anyway to use the same mag pouch for both AR15 and AR10 mags? If so who makes mag pouches that will work with these inserts? My mag pouches will not hold a 308 mag. THANKS!

What are you using on the belt, is it the disruptive environment carrier? Cause the AR mag carrier on your website doesn't have a pistol holster piggybacked on it like you do in this video.

[@domenik8339]

Pretty sure he fucked up that first reload, he just got done saying you don't touch the side magazine unless it's an emergency, then reloaded in the "opportunity in the fight" from the emergency only side magazine.

Anyone know if thats a 14.5" setup BCM or a 11.5" SBR? cant really tell...

[@internetexpert8153]

Bare knowledge from this man

[@Mr.Ut21]

... I think he messed up on the first one. meant to pull from his chest, muscle memory kicked in and he did a speed reload from the waist. Idk... TAC reloads in general are weird. Manipulating two ar mags partially/fully loaded is really hard with shaky hands, and practically impossible with an AK. just pull out a new mag, eject and let fall the old one, insert new mag, charge your weapon. If you have time, pick up your spent magazine. You'll drop it half the time anyways doing this type of TAC reloads. And it's always the full mag that ends up being dropped. Always, it's fucking like magic I swear.

[@sawtoothcurruthers3561]

He explains in the video that the first demo was to show what to do if you only had the two mags.

[@Mr.Ut21]

+Sawtooth Curruthers he didn't say that until after he did it. he messed up, no big deal I'm just sayin it was a muscle memory thing.

+Nathan Hale Doesn't look like it to be honest, I suspect it could be a Haley Strategic prototype.

[@ShooterQ]

Excuse me, perhaps I haven't enough time in the day to search through all of the material, but what is Haley Strategic (or anyone else) teaching these days in regards to pistol ammunition management when used in emergency transition as demonstrated near the end of the video? In the past I have been taught 3 different mentalities: 1 - Pistol is a back-up, and I shouldn't worry about reloading it. If it goes dry during transitional fire, it can be reloaded just as I would if I only had a pistol. This seems to favor simplicity and promote quicker return to the more effective rifle, while increasing the probability of pulling an empty pistol at some point. 2 - Middle Ground: Only after 2 or 3 revolutions of pistol fire, should I even think about attempting a proactive pistol reload, given a good assessment of my surroundings and situation. This "feels" more like management of ammunition tailored to a training environment that keeps shooters on the line for longer periods of time, but also seems to compromise between safety and capacity favored by either of the other two mentalities. 3 - Most recently, I've been taught to consider my pistol as a reserve parachute which should be bumped up or "repacked" before it goes back into the holster and I proceed to reload my rifle. This seems to ensure that the pistol will always be at full capacity in shorter, more likely scenarios, but with longer stretches or multiple engagements spreads ammunition too thinly between magazines than mentality 1 or 2 (i.e. 3 to 5 pistol magazines carrying 1 -10 rounds on body vs. 1 magazine in the gun that is threatening to go empty with 2-4 magazines carrying a full capacity of 12-20 rounds in reserve on body) to be useful. Thank you for all input.

[@NickyTBeats]

retention needs to be closer to esstac but just under. i feel esstac has too much retention

[@andym9427]

Anybody know if these work with the ferro concepts turnover for 556

[@thejustinmccart]

Hey Travis, can you explain what is used on your rail grips on this rifle? Possibly KAC keymod panels with skateboard tape over them? I have been waiting for BCM to restock their keymod rail covers but its been nearly 6 months and nothing. I have KAC now but had to shave them to get them to fit which sucks because now they're loose. Also when is the HSP Sling coming out? Been waiting for BCM to release it too but they removed it from their site? Also been checking your site for it as well. One last thing, can you post up the photo that you used for the link to this video? It looks badass! haha Thanks!

[@ortiz12986]

THEAR15ONA what range is this at?

[@MonteGould]

Good explanations and lecture structure. Good stuff! In 1996 SOTEC and I worked on a similar system with my chest rig. It became our standard, we used inserts very similar to these. I can't stand the stand alone floppy canvas, cordura nylon pouches with mags loose in them. Key phrases outside of his lecture that I / we teach; "Time, Opportunity, Ammo and cover". The only other observation; is we only teach putting a partially loaded magazine back in the mag pouch as a last resort. For the "tac reload" we teach going to the furthest mag back on the belt line or vest. I'm not a fan of touching and loading from the speed reload mag pouch. Nothing personal or critical, just a slight difference in terminology and slight tactic mind-set change. Solid stuff, well done! This is becoming more of the standard, to manage ammo pouches and constantly adjusting ammo in them. I gotta give it Travis, solid public speaker, very confident and well rehearsed. I enjoy watching his lecture body language style. As an instructor it's great to see other instructors delivery style & methods.

[@TheUptoparr]

Good stuff, thanks for the upload.

[@Bryce70]

So these allow the regular non-H D3CR rig to hold .308 mags? Dang, wish I would have known, I wanted kyptek highlander.

[@spectre143]

Just received my 4 pack for the D3CR, couple thoughts. They work great with AR mags,308 mags, AK74 mags. But I've had some issues using them with surplus 7.62 AK mags, and Galil 5.56 mags. The metal side plates on the mags get hung up on the interior lip of the MP2's. They insert fine, but getting them out is a pain. Other than that, love these things. Nice being able to run one chest rack for multiple rifles.

[@Steelcity77]

[@matthew2764]

At 11:12 he moves his far right mag on his chest rig (his tac reload mag) to his emergency reload pouch on his belt. I understand why he did this because he explains it very well but I have a question. What if you had already tac reloaded once in the fight? Wouldn’t you then be placing a half full or close to empty mag as your emergency reload? I’m not sure if that matters just thought I’d ask. This is an old video so I doubt I’d get a response but I’m really curious about this.

[@InfiniteGrim]

I don't always blatantly rip off existing designs, but when I do I claim there was a good reason.

[@2fun55]

Come on dude, please use other pouches or they are for just the show.

[@remibair3138]

Hey Travis, so I'm one of those goofy shooters who shoots carbine lefty and pistol righty. My load out consists of 5 carbine mags on my right side vest and my pistol mags left side vest as those are the hands I will reload with. My question is whats the best way to reload my AR as my reload hand is also my mag ejection hand? So instead of ejecting the mag with the trigger finger as most righty's would, I'm forced to use my thumb from my forward hand. Or am I destine to loose the fight the second I have to reload? So far my best method is to eject first then grab the new mag. Not sure there's any better option for me. Thanks,,,,, Knuckles

[@remibair3138]

Yeah true, true. I guess it's the fastest way I can do it with out buying a overpriced lefty gun. Thanks bro!!

[@13rustyking]

Hey there, How would you do a tactical reload as a left handed guy? Using the L grip on the magazine just doesn't work. I have looked all over the internet for some opinions and ideas but I have not found anything. I had this issue at BCT when I was so used to releasing the empty magazine before I went after a fresh mag because the different magazine grips didn't work for me because I am LH. Thanks!

[@desperado8605]

it takes practice but as I fellow LH shooter told me choke the mag going to the well up higher on the one in your weapon then reach up with your thumb and hit the release. I've got an ambi mag release but I practice both

Only works with bakelite mags for ak 762. Spending a lot of time trying to get them to run with other mags but because bakelites are not as thick at the top they are the only ones that fit if you run an AK.

[@ianbarclay9487]

Great video. You are a natural teacher. Are the considerations/principles for proactively and subconsciously reloading the pistol (secondary) the same as the rifle (primary)? Thanks

[@danmullis6207]

Quick question. Wouldn't you do a proactive reload on your pistol before reholstering? I would that topped off as well just in case.

[@MattHarris89]

Not sure if this the right forum to ask this, but how do you do the "pro-active" reload if you have the bungees cords? Do you have any techniques that make it easier to get the mag back in the pouch one handed with that bungee in the way?

[@samalbanese464]

Travis what brand of ear protectors do you use?

[@stacylittle6282]

Looks like this would work with a Tactical Tailor fight light triple mag pouch. I've been wanting to take the bungees off but then there's no retention what so ever, so I've been using two of my older ITW fast mag pouches on my belt set up. Really like your products, well thought out.
