    A former NYPD officer saw how I have my duty belt set up and gave me the advice to keep as much gear away from my back as possible, I also used to have my TQ on my center back before he gave me a reason not to. Now I carry my TQ on my left side next to my radio, I can reach and apply it with either hand, and if I'm wearing my exterior plate carrier, I have a TQ on their as well... one high, one low!

    nice video! but i do not understand why your department doesn't provides you with all that equipment... I don't think is fair that you have to buy your duty equipment...

    • @SuperKede
      @SuperKede 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      You get whats called a uniform allowance. Ever year you get some money to buy gear. DOC gave us $900 when we started and $600 ever year after. What you do with that money is up to you. Most of my friends buy stuff online to save some of that cash.

    • @RadixTactical

    @Gmoney818 7 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    Adding together the stuff you didn't know the price of:
    Taser (x26p):$990-$1100
    Blackhawk taser SERPA holster:$30-$60
    Motorola radio:$300-$450
    AXON Body camera mount:$35
    AXON Body camera:$350-$450
    Freeze +P CS/OC (Defence spray): $20
    Total of it should come down to a whopping $1,985 plus the previously mentioned $1,755 which all together will total $3,740 Firearm price can be accounted for by adding the price of the following:
    Glock 17:$600
    Two spare magazines:$45
    A Streamlight TLR 1:$125

      XTS5000 new runs $2,369-$2,878 depending on if its a model 1,2,3. That price doesn't include hand mic.

    • @Gmoney818
      @Gmoney818 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      907 574 wow! Not a huge radio guy so I compared it to mine. That's a pretty substantial price for a radio.

    • @Gmoney818
      @Gmoney818 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      907 574 alrighty I did a bit of research and found out the XTS 5000 is a discontinued radio but they used to run around $500 new so not too bad plus most departments get a contract discount.

  • @aaronbuttitchy444

  • @mattdehope7517
    @mattdehope7517 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Tip for the radio - a Motorola Commander 2 mic is a great tool for the XTS5000. It allows for channel and volume adjustment directly from the shoulder mic. As well as a emergency button on the mic.

      @Shortyjr02 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Lefty here...Just gotta be patient. I swear by Safariland and they make great holsters for pretty much every conventional pistol a LE department will carry in both left/right hand models. Also, those Safariland "light bearing" holsters will fit a Streamlight TLR or Surefire X300 without and problem

    • @robertkelso1641
      @robertkelso1641 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm left handed and the holster I go with with is a blackhawk serpa level 3 holster. I'll never use a different one unless I have to...

    • @nicolasfeinercontestin6577
      @nicolasfeinercontestin6577 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Left handed and to add difficulty, from Argentina, so add a 0 to any price you guys pay. I wear plain clothes at work so for search warrants I use a level 2 left handed holster for my Bersa. The rest of the time a Houston internal holster. The rest is just being creative. Before getting the left handed holster I used a right handed level 2, I can shoot with both hands but feel more comfortable using my left hand.

    • @wesmcdonnell8739
      @wesmcdonnell8739 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Trex arms appendix IWB holster. Custom made to fit your firearm so there's a lead time of 4-6 weeks (only downfall).

    big thing with the sammy belt....unless you got big hips, get tac suspenders! i had to learn this the hard way and ended up with a bad sore on my gun side hip. once i got the suspenders, things were far far better...not to mention my back and hips had virtually no weight bearing on it (very comfy!)

      Hell, if you've got training with them, it's a great idea to carry as a civilian also, whether it be on your person or in your car or what have you. Could just save someone's life.

    • @RadixTactical
      @RadixTactical  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ABSOLUTELY. There are COUNTLESS stories of people saving their own life or the life of someone else because they had a TQ on them. Car accidents, camping accidents, hiking, industrial, what have you, TQs are not just for LEO/MIL. Everyone should have them and have some basic training on how to use them.

    • @jake8352
      @jake8352 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Radix Tactical I completely agree. I'm a police explorer for my town and I don't see any officers carry a TQ on their belt. Unless it's in their car, but it's still a great idea.

    I hope you have an allowance for or get reimbursed for items they require but won't buy, Some places do and most places don't. You win. Yours are more expensive and very heavy! Plus yours are/can be life or death of YOURSELF if they don't function. Get quality stuff.

  • @coreydark8795
    @coreydark8795 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey you should look at the Saflok Mk5 hinged handcuffs. My father works as a Police officer with the Queensland Police Service, Australia. He always carries 2 pairs of them at all times and even has a pair sometimes when off duty. They're really awesome cuffs and provide so much control over cuffed offenders especially when they play up. I know first hand when helping out arresting offenders when I've done what you call ride along not allowed here but have done them. Also look at load bearing vests as they're also great at taking the weight off your waist and belt. Reduces back injuries etc as well. I can provide pics and websites for you if you would like.

    • @RadixTactical
      @RadixTactical  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Corey Dark I'm planning on having hinged as well as chain. I have both and they both serve their purpose. As far as load bearing vests go, I'd love to have them but my department does not approve them.

  • @KMT15
    @KMT15 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Question: why do you have to keep your taser on support side? Would it not make sense to have it as a cross draw stored in front of your gun and train on the taser with your off hand? That way you could draw it with left hand and still have your dominent hand ready to draw your gun without having to reholster the taser (which takes precious time) or without dropping the taser to quickly draw you gun?

    • @RadixTactical
      @RadixTactical  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Our rules and regulations state that the taser must be on the opposite side of the duty weapon.

  • @leodoingthings1706
    @leodoingthings1706 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @jamesnye8797
    @jamesnye8797 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    If your having problems with your cuffs rusting, i would recommend a spray called ACF50, I'm not sure if its available in the US but we have it in the UK so i don't see why not, also Silicone lubricant is best for the catch release. You probably knew that already but never hurts to share.

    I love the set up to i agree with he other Poster i would never put something on the small of my back if you get hit and hit the ground really hard you could do nerve damage to your back. but i looks great and as for a leather will it not bleed in really hot weather ?

    • @RadixTactical
      @RadixTactical  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Scott Alderman Luckily the cuffs as well as the tourniquet are low enough where there would be no issue (and I've suffered a couple tumbles). Though I agree, it is not ideal. Many departments are progressing to load bearing vests, which is a much better choice.
      As far as the leather bleeding, I work in the south, heat and humidity are abundant and I've had yet to have any issues!

    • @RadixTactical

      General misuse aside (most people wear them wrong), they obviously have pros and cons.
      While generally more comfortable and easier to use in cramped cars, they also have a bad habit of pulling up uniform pants legs, and if you have to fight for your weapon, you have to now worry about whatever straps and connectors used, not breaking.
      I personally like them and have a dedicated mid-ride made by G-Code. But I'm also excited to see the newer products that I honestly think are going to make drop legs obsolete. Safariland makes solid base holsters that drop quite low without having to use a leg strap, as well as hard plastic adapters that rotate, also eliminating straps. There is another company (which name eludes me) that has an option to where you press a button and the holster sits at your belt, and press the button and it drops several inches lower.

      @txtlz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      he's right, a lot of guys with time on would say the same thing, you should move all your gear to the left and right side of the belt as much as possible and keep the back as clear as you can. I have the surgical glove pouch on the small of my back, a second pair of cuffs towards the right side of my back and a tactical flashlight on the left side of my back. everything else is at the sides and front

      Outside of freak accidents, the real issue with carrying bulky items in the rear of your duty belt is long term deterioration of your lumbar. Just from sitting in the cruiser and having your lumbar bowed outward. I used to carry a tourniquet on my 6 and now it just goes in my cargo pocket. I look less cool but my back feels a thousand percent better

  • @creed7970
    @creed7970 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the reply! Also I have a question what's your opinion on carrying a revolver for your on duty belt?

    • @RadixTactical
      @RadixTactical  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Most departments will not allow that now, generally due to the fact that there are much better weapons platforms available. For example, if you were to get into a critical incident situation, would you rather have 5 rounds at the ready, or 17?

    • @creed7970

  • @choipichiim
    @choipichiim 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just realized that the actual duty belt doesn't look very bulky on the waist but laid down on a table it looks like there is a lot of tools to defend yourself/aid you in certain situations. Did you ever find the duty belt ever heavy or bulky in any situation?

    • @RadixTactical
      @RadixTactical  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Heavy, yes. It’s something you eventually become *somewhat* comfortable with. You certainly feel it during long shifts or if you’re very tired, then it feels like 100 pounds. As far as bulk goes, going through tight spaces, getting in and out of certain cars, and climbing through windows are the first thing to come to mind. Ideally, my old department should have adopted the vest which allows to take gear off your waist and onto the vest.

    • @RadixTactical
      @RadixTactical  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its completely dependent on your outer belt. If you have a smooth leather outer like I do, you have many more options. If you have an outer belt with the velcro on the inside, obviously your options are a bit more limited. I like the one I highlighted in the video. Its simple and inexpensive.
