There has been way to much political stuff going on. This is the holidays, winter time... lets have some fun and talk about fun stuff.

 

I need an ammo carrier, web gear, tactical vest... whatever you want to call it.

 

Problem I have is being lefthanded the pre laid out vest dont work for me, the are all RH holstered. Plus once again I am a cheap a**... here is what I am looking for.

 

Vest with attachment, dont need plate carriers.

going to add a chest holster close to the centerline of my body.

looking for at least 3 mag pockets, hoping for up to 6 ar mags

at least 2 pistol mag capacity.

would like a SAW Ammo pouch on on side for a box of shotgun shells... or will do two shotshell holders.

other little pockets and possible strap a knife on.

 

I will also have an maxpedition versipack as a possibles bag with me if needed.

 

This is for carbine classes, training runs, and familiarity with equipment.

 

Anyone have any advice? Where and hows? I have found some places to buy... one place sells tactical tailor seconds apparently. I have looked at an am considering the SDS FLC Molle II vests and pouches.

I really think you should just go with a vest that is MOLLE compatible. This gives you the ability to customize it to how YOU want it, and change it up later if you want to.

also for what its worth.. I would still just use a belt for your pistol..

I would either use a belt, or a thigh holster. Either way, keeping it off your torso will keep it from getting in the way. They make belt and thigh holsters that will attach to your vest, so it really just becomes personal preference. I do think that keeping it off your torso will help though....also create more room for mag holders or other pouches you may want.

I will try the belt holster of course, that is my prefered method anyway. I never liked thigh holsters.

 

Thanks for the links.

the nice thing about belt holsters is the nice clean draw.... if you are carrying mags.. and a rifle.. and you need to "dump" the rifle.. as in just lay it on your chest held by a sling.... it is going to be far easier to transition to a sidearm.. with it high on the chest.. the rifle.. sling... mag pouches.. etc.. might get in the way.. I prefer a tight holster that rides close to the body.. I plan to just leave pouches not attached in that area where the sidearm is.. to make for a clean draw..

 

oh and +1 for maxpedition.. I have a pack by them and simply LOVE it..

Wanted to update this thread.

 

I of course puchased something off ebay before I found this chart. Not my work, but anothers.

 

I admittedly was not looking to spend over a certain amount on a product I was not going to wear much nor abuse like a soldier would. I am just some fat guy that likes to shoot on weekends, not some operator, so I dont feel the need to spend like one at times. And I am ok buying this product 4 times and I still will not equal the cost of some rigs. If I am still shooting when I am on my 4th vest I will be amazed. I am digesting this info currently, it is a ton of data to process. I thought others might like it.

This was admittedly inspired by the M4 comparison chart

Here is what I bought.

Molle II with Pouches by THE SPECAILTY GROUP INC . U.S.A.

 

My model is the Core Rifleman System and supposedly is the current version of the US Army issue MOLLE II FIGHTING LOAD CARRIER system. Probably ebay BS.

 

This system contains the following items:

(1) Fighting Load Carrier (FLC) MOLLE - ADJUSTABLE

(2) ITW-Fastex Grimloc Carabiners - NSN 8465-01-525-0577 - #4117 UC

(2) Canteen/Utility Pouches - NSN 8465-01-525-0585 - #4015 UC MOLLE

(3) CQB Double 30 Round Mag Pouches - NSN 8465-01-524-0606 - #4050 UC MOLLE

(2) Frag Pouches - NSN 8465-01-525-0589 - #4130 UC MOLLE

I have not even messed with it much yet. I hope to tear it apart tonight and move the ouches around and see what i like and dont like. I do want to add a shotshell pouch to this and possibly a larger compartment on the back.
