I don't know about "most pockets" but I really like my eagle industries vest.
Blackhawk is similar, but for the last few years they have been trading off their name and have moved their factories to Vietnam. People who have them swear by SOE. Little more pricey. |

Dear Mr Fell-of-the-truck:
I don't know what your line of business is but the "best" choice of any gear is mission-dependent? If you're in law enforcement than either the TAC-V series from Eagle Industries or the Omega series from BlackHawk will serve you, you can load 12 fully loaded mags in both of those. If you're military than you can choose the above or any number of fine LBEs out there, check out Lightfighter.com. If you are a civilian shooter preparing for the end of the world, again the above will probably fit the bill. However, if you plan on fighting with full kit you better train with it. 12 magazines weigh 12 pounds, add water, a pistol maybe, some pistol mags, a combat/utility knife and you now have 25 pounds. Don't always think about packing the maximum load, light is usually right. Cache the rest until you need it. Some minor thoughts on the subject... |

I agree with Lance, your best bet would probably be to go over to the forums on [url=]Lightfighter.com[/url] and perform a search. There are probably "hundreds" of threads debating the various assault/tac vests (SOE, TT, Blackhawk, Arktis, etc.).
Anyway, I'm kinda partial to the Tac. Tailor 2-piece MAV assault vest. |

Lightfighter knows this stuff cold. Any guy who recommends that you guy something from another dealer because he doesn't carry what you need is a saint. I think there is a gear forum on his website, also, with lots of info on tac vests and harnesses. I don't have one since I can't see any practical application for myself, but Psyops had a cool chest harness rig that held a bunch of AR mags and had molle gear attachments along the outside to attach pistol mags, grenade pouchs etc. That was a pretty sweet set up. I didn't think to ask the manufacturer, but he said he got it from Lightfighter. |

You could walk into Lighfighter butt-naked with an M4 and a 1911 and get everything you need to fight WW3. Brad is the man, no sense in shopping anywhere else.

M4Guru,
Sorry, but I'll have to take exception to your comment on what all you can get at Lightfighter.com. Since he just got his FFL, you could walk in butt naked (credit card hopefully clenched somewhere) and get everything you need, including the M4 and 1911! |

I'm not sure what's the BEST but Ive been very happy with the Blackhawk omega cross-draw, Ive used it on Swat operations and in training w/o a problem. I like having my model 30 mounted right in front in case the POO hits the fan. I find Botach has really good prices JMHO. --Be Safe-- |
