Nah, it's just like 90% of aftermarket parts for the AR. It's sole purpose is to look cool to guys who are in private militias.
Deployed troops are rarely issued sidearms, and when they are it's primary purpose is typically just dressing for officers. Plus, that wouldn't last a month on deployment, it's held together by a plastic alligator clip and a pin set into plastic. Shit would be flopping open and getting caught on straps all day.
Plus, in my day, at least, that's where we kept a cleaning kit.
Pssh, you don't need to clean your rifle. What you need is a couple extra pounds of weight in your stock. I am designing a new attachment for the AR that molds the butt stock into the shape of a rucksack.
This sounds unwieldy and unnecessary, but we've designed your rucksack to be easily stored away in your rucksack for safe keeping.
turns out in real life the best sidearm is the geneva convention, if a soldier is ever where a spot where they'd hypothetically need a sidearm the best bet is probably to put your hands on your neck and hope they respect the whole "no mistreating prisoners of war" bit.
If not I guess the pistol would come in handy? Easier to take yourself out of the equation without having to take off your boots.
