Finally switched ! Deployment to tang

I have been thinking of making the switch on my ROO RG RC from the REALLY uncomfortable deployment for ages (like a year).
Finally decided to switch after trying one of the new offshores and realising how much more comfortable it is with a tang buckle.
So got a diver strap and and after market PVD buckle (the AP one's are crazy expensive especially in RG) and WOW what an improvement.
Why did i wait so long !!!!!

I was quoted around £900 in the UK so approx 1450 USD. However it may be a little less in the USA as UK tax is so high at 20%
