I realize that there are enough versions of UV-5R guards out there that I considered naming this post “Yet Another…” I'll explain my considerations that led to designing my own.

  1. Controls protected, not difficult use
  2. Low-profile, with radio still fitting into a single M4 mag pouch. 
  3. Existing hardware only with pocket clip stills usable.

All those boxes were ticked with this, plus, it  was a fun design project to tinker with on a Tuesday night. Please post “Makes” if you use this as I'd love to see them!

Print with a brim and supports.
