as previously mentioned approximately 1,000,000 times, text posts are anything goes. Only link posts must be gun-related.
You want to post a scam link to an auction for totally legit gift-cards? put it in a text post. You want to post something you want the .win to know about but it isn't gun related? put it in a text post. You want M4M missed connection for that cutie patootie booty with the H&K that was winking at you at the range? put it in a text post.
link posts without guns or gun related things in them will get removed. Also, spam gets removed no matter link or text. Automated moderation for spam here sucks donkey balls so most of it is done manually. If your spam link for gift cards gets removed even though it was text post, that was likely human moderator removal. you can ask through modmail for reinstatement but modmail goes largely ignored most weeks.
also, all of you are supergay (or superstraight if that's how you roll)
Hop is pretty based, good content. Esstac is the best for pouches in my experience, for everything but AK mags. I prefer their plastic clips over the WTF straps. Any 1.75"-2" inner/outer velcro belt utilizing a cobra buckle is the way to go. AWS gear is probably the best value for such. Add a pad later if you need one, most don't.
An ALS Safariland holster is the gold standard, don't get anything less. Add a Nub Mod for even more speed. With 10min of practice draws, an ALS holster on a 1.5" drop will be just as fast as a sketchy competition rig, and will actually retain your gun if you ever leave the basement or a square range, unlike any kydex OWB holster made.
