That's how I am leaning, but the problem is the AK is a new beast for me. I wear my AR mags the same way I wear pistol mags (opposite of the way Henk recommends ... I tried beer canning when he suggested it and I kept twisting anyway, so the mags ended up backward when they were at the magwell), but the motions for reloading an AK seem to be a bit different. I don't want to order a couple of kydex carriers with bullets facing forward, then realize over three days of using them that I prefer bullets facing to the rear.
For people who shoot ARs, it seems like a at least as many wear their mags like I as do those who have them bullets to the rear. It seems like almost everyone has bullets to the rear for AKs, though, which should be a clue to me.
You're right though. I need to make it work with the way I already do things. If not, sooner or later switching between guns is going to mess me up.
As far as the Kydex goes, I thing the Raven gear is really nice, but it seems to take a lot of belt space. Yeah, yeah, I know ... I have more belt space than any three guys combined, but the belt space I can reach with my left hand (bad shoulder) is limited. I also like the easy on/easy off of the Blade-Tech TekLok (when I get one that works).
