Needed a new range bag and some updated hearing protection. Also got some cash to do some other upgrades. Want to get a 2 point sling for my AR so going to use the money for that and for some holsters.

What I got:

I have some pretty good serviceable Blackhawk 2pt slings I picked up for a few of my AR's as placeholders for when I was ready to dish out for a Blue Force Gear sling. The Blackhawks are nice for $16/ea but I'm going to get around to getting a BFG sling. Just throwing it out there as a suggestion. I'd also take a look at T. REX arms 2pt slings, I'm going back and fourth on which to get, they both run around $50. A lil expensive imo for some nylon strap but oh well. It's kind of irritating actually, I can get a 30ft 6 Ton nylon tow strap for half that cost but it is what it is. I've thought about making my own honestly
 
DeWalt...Perfection
I run alot of Dewalt at work. I have mostly Dewalt for 20v and Milwaukee for 12v but I tend to strongly favor the Milwaukee stuff lately. The old Dewalt 18v stuff was built for the end times but the battery design is a lil out of date. I like Dewalt alot, I just hate their newer 20v ½ combo drills. I have 2 that even when brand new worked like absolute crap, sent them back and got replacements and they ran like crap too, they just aren't what they used to be.... gonna be switching over to Milwaukee everything eventually, once the dewalts are all used up, which won't be long I suspect.

My initial thoughts are on the Blue Force sling, but glad you mentioned the other brands. Always like to do my due diligence and research before a purchase. Thank you.

I'm actually leaning toward the Trex 2pt because I've heard really good feedback on it even though at the end of the day it's a nylon strap, but the T rex comes in an awesome black multicam and is very similar to the BFG (currently out of stock for the black multicam pattern) but I believe their products and customer service are very solid and their products are made in the USA (except for the one time they accidentally got made in Mexico but the company cut ties with those particular partners and made it right with their customer base). I'm leaning toward the trex, let me know what you think of em if you end up with one.

ETA: I just looked at T rex Arms at their slings and they have a special going through the 31st of $10 off a sling kit which includes a Sling + x2 Magpul QD sling attachments.

Nice, I also got a fleece lined jacket, fleece lined work jeans and a 2nd My Pillow so now I have a "firm" and "medium" fill for my side. If you guys haven't tried a My Pillow I highly recommend. A lil expensive for poly foam and compared to others but worth it to me.

The streamlight is nice, I should have bought one ages ago... I kind of want one for my 19 now but it's gonna have to be a compact version (TLR7 maybe?) and I'll have to find a holster that accommodates a WML. I never used to stress the need for a weapon light on a pistol but I've changed my mind, spent alot of time reading and thinking about it, 10 years or so, lol.
A big MYPILLOW fan here also. I've had one for a couple of years now....:thumbup:
As for the weapon light, I have an olight valkyrie....very nice light. Highly recommended.
