For the legitimate military, it actually looks like it could make it helpful when switching to a side arm in a single, fluid movement. Unfortunately, with standard rifle harnesses (with the rifle’s butt always at the shoulder) it may only makes it easier when switching to and not from. It would also put it in an odd position when just the handgun would be needed/holstered. I also imagine there’d be a learning curve, as most would automatically go to their hip/thigh for their sidearm, like they learned in training.
I’m assuming this was originally an idea intended to slim down the dress (less equipment at the hips) for certain specialist missions.

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.
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.

Plus, in my day, at least, that’s where we kept a cleaning kit.

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.
