Chemlights are such a situational niche thing. SWAT operators (or any high speed operators really) are moving fast to the threat. Speed, momentum, and violence of action. As he stated in that same thread, they generally have teams come through and mark doors or pathways with alternate means AFTER the initial mission or task has been complete. Because stopping in the middle of an op to mark stuff with glowing sticks is distracting and wastes time. It honestly makes a ton of sense.

I would find comparisons between more "budget" optics and their expensive counterparts very intriguing and beneficial. While some people have the $2k to spend on an optic and mount, lots of people don't. I feel that comparisons showing where the price difference gets reflected would help more people make a more informed decision regarding their budget allocations. Maybe that cheaper Vortex or PA LPVO will meet your needs, and you can save some money there to allocate more towards ammo and training? Maybe the opposite, where the places corners were cut will result in you having to allocate more budget towards replacing the optic down the line?

Second mag on the belt. It's a little faster than reloading from the PC, and 2+1 gives you a lot more breathing room if stuff gets protracted or extra spicy. The comment about shooting one guy twenty times makes sense, especially if you're in a group. But I'm a regular guy who's thinking about that protracted rifle on rifle engagement or the ole 2v1. Maybe I shoot #1 5 times, shoot #2's cover 5-10 times, reload.... now I'm out of mags. Hope I dont have a magazine related malfunction and now my rifle is unfixably toast or something. None of that shit is super likely, but it ain't impossible, and if it isn't impossible, it could happen to you, and that could be a really bad day.

Timothy Gramins traffic stop shootout was a fantastic example, he barely had ANY ammo left after shooting a guy 14 times with .45ACP, the suspect got hit in both lungs, the heart, and three places on the head/face, again, he was shot in the HEART and both lungs but was still moving and trying to shoot at officer Gramins, the only thing that put the suspect down were three shots to his face when he looked under officer Gramins patrol car, he was STILL alive when they got to the ER He now carries 145 rounds of ammo While things might seem like they would be too unlikely to ever happen will set you up for failure, I'm not saying carry 25 magazines, but bring at least 2 in the vest 1 in the gun That little extra weight shouldn't be noticeable but could save your life if you run into a person wacked out of their mind on something basically making them invincible unless you brain pan them Expect the best, prepare for the worst

Here's the thing about LE experience dictating gear selection, Matt Pranka (paraphrasing) said it best: "The average law enforcement engagement is relatively unopposed, against an adversary who is uncommitted and unwilling to fight". It's very easy to get into the mindset of "this is what has worked 99.9% of the time so it's good enough" and end up being absolutely unprepared for changing trends or outliers. Just because criminals now are not competent or truly willing adversaries does not mean you won't run into a dude who is actually tactically minded and competent with a firearm. Take the cartel guys for instance, plenty of them have legitimately high level training and gear. They've also been spreading all along the west coast as of the past few years. For the most part they do not interact with local law enforcement because for the most part local law enforcement is relatively easy for a technologically and organizationally sophisticated adversary to detect, track, and avoid. But relying on evil men to choose not to engage you is probably not a prudent choice. Would you want to be in a shootout with a cartel security team or a similarly competent and committed adversary with 21 rounds in your gun and a single spare mag? I know I wouldn't.

He literally explained that he also has different kit for different situations. He’s rolling up to a scene in an armored vehicle that is most likely full of ammunition and 99% of the time there’s not even a weapon fired at all. If he’s just out on patrol and gets ambushed by a cartel he’s in trouble anyway considering cops are only carrying a pistol most of the time and a rifle as backup in their patrol car. Again this is his swat load out so if he’s being called to the scene he’s already informed of what the basic threat is.

Retired after 30 years in two separate Los Angeles County agencies, 25 of those on SWAT. The location escapes me, however, back in the 90's, I read a debrief in the NTOA magazine of a team doing a hit that got pinned down on an elevated wrap around porch of the house after a hot breach that went bad. Those guys were begging for ammo. Because of that one incident, I always carried six rifle mags (2 on my armor, 2 on my thigh, 1 horizontal on my hip to signify it's time to extract), and 5 pistol magazines (2 on my thigh, 2 on my armor, and 1 in the pistol). At one point when our team was transitioning from MP5's to rifles and the team was mixed with weapons, I was also carrying 2 MP5 mags just in case I needed a partners platform. I'm 6'3"/295, weight isn't my worry because I'm not sprinting for blocks in full kit as a breacher.

Personally I'd still go with a 30rnd mag, because I don't have any 20ies. Because I am right handed I'd switch the radio and the banger. Maybe another mag there somewhere, just for 'what if.' That is about it...

I carry an AR mag on both of my duty belts, (SWAT vs patrol) 1 on my carrier for SWAT and 1 stays in ny carbine. That way if I need my carbine on patrol always have 2 mags. On SWAT I always have 3. Chem lights I carry the Marco light despenser. In my dangler I keep medical, a tiny bottle of water and a protein bar. I also carry a multi-tool and a metal paint can opener. (If you know you know).

@christopherdolan7330 Жыл бұрын
I would imagine that one major difference between a combat loadout and a SWAT loadout is that SWAT doesn't have to worry as much about infill and exfill. Jeff Gurwich talks about how you should NOT let your mission dictate your combat loadout, largely because you cannot control the variables associated with infill and exfill in a combat environment. I would also imagine that's why 60rds (edit: 50rds) is sufficient for a SWAT loadout, because a SWAT team should never have to fight their way out of a mission like a soldier might have to do in a warzone. But this is definitely a great video, and it's interesting to hear the specific requirements of a SWAT loadout.

Makes sense caring low mag counts on your body(especially where you know you will out numbers potential threats at minimum of 3:1, but expect more like 10+:1). The only caveat to that for me, would be to have bag sling/bale/duffle in the car/truck/rig load with spare mags
