Tunachaser Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Has anyone tried one of these belt clips? If so what do you think of it? https://www.etsy.com/listing/903358191/belt-clip-for-the-amg-labs-commander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clw42 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I have one. It's okay and I still use it. I've had it since February of 2020. The magnets fell out from repeated use, but they don't matter that much. I just tightened the hinge to a point where it's rigid, but still moves when I want it to. It's also gotten warped over time, but I just hit it with a heat gun and molded it back into shape. At the time when I bought it there weren't many options. I'm not sure if there's anything better out there for training purposes. It's very convenient to flip up and check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamse Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I've been running mine that way for about two months and it works great. Initially I had a very _very_ thin metal plate and the magnet couldn't really keep it place when doing certain transitions. So, I just replaced the thin metal sheet with a slightly thicker one and now it's been working great, even when doing prone stuff. (yes, there is a shop here in Sweden that still has the Commander in stock, weird right?) I'd also recommend some sort of lanyard if your range uses pebble gravel like mine ... my display already has some marks in it and isn't very scratch resistant, imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIGcurious Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 The magnet doesn't mess with the internals of the timer? That would be my only concern ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I don't like the belt clips. First shooting revolver I had no place on the belt for it and now shooting open I got the same issue! I jerryrigged an iPhone soft plastic armband with zip ties to my commander and it works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no way of backing this but I would say no based on the following; I've had it on the DAA standalone belt mounted magnet both with and without the magnet cover since the day I got the timer and even forgotten the timer on the magnet between range days and it still works 100% ok.

The magnets you are describing were from the gen1 clip and now with the gen4 clip they are screwed in and the clip is made from better plastic that shouldn't warp.

I would, but I lost my timer and the case/clip at the mid atlantic sectional this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 A little late here and still waiting for my timer, but the first thing I do with anything with a screen is install a screen protector. Either shipping tape or regular screen protector products because our dirt very abrasive like sandpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkss_burgundy Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Yes, for sure, I invested in an AMG gen2, the one with a yellow data on black background display - found 40mm Apple watch screen proctectors do the job adequately after trimming before application. Amazon : screen protection I like the idea of a moderate power magnet plate inside the silicone pouch - just for extra grip - I'd hate my AMG to hit the gravel while I'm trying to get a gallop on... small thin plate magnet insert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMBOpen Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I put a large washer inside the silicone skin, then used a magnet to attach to to a base on a table below the muzzle for rimfire rifle at a Steel Challenge match, then used remote start from Practiscore tablet (long press on clock icon). Didn't need the timer RO crowding the shooter to get accurate string times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
