Milt Sparks Double 1911 Mag Pouch

This may seem like a boring duty belt accessory for your average early 2000's cop, but make no mistake - these were a significant part of Delta Force belt kit and are incredibly scarce today.

At least everyone says these were made by Milt Sparks, there's effectively zero information on them outside of operator testimony.

They're also actually a very effective retention system, especially for the late 90's/early 2000's before kydex was the universal standard. I can see why Delta liked these.

I'm more than likely going to pick up the TangoDown Vickers Mag Pouches, seeing as those are a direct clone of these but for 9mm/.40 Glock Mags.

This Sam Brown rig is all authentic, I of curse cannot confirm that but from my research and limited knowledge I tend to agree. The holster is marked Boyd 1917, the magazine holder is marked Rock Island Arsenal 1915.

It is in good shape for being over 100yo. The second holster is a WWII version by Craighead Leather of Denver, Colorado.

Makes me think of Terminator. It doesn't have a laser, but still. Remember in the gun shop?

"Give me a .45 Long slide with laser sighting."

Lol!

Bianchi #2AL .45 Auto Holster, famously used by Delta during Operation Eagle Claw, but similar holsters have been seen as late as 1992-1994 with A-Squadron.

These and other commercial leather or rigger-made nylon holsters were the bread and butter of the unit prior to the introduction of the AWS Inc. 50529 and Safariland 3004/3014 designs.
