I'm looking for a tactical vest to hold mainly 10 rd. mags (yea I live in one of those states.) and maybe a pistol and or flashlight.All the vests that I have seen are 1 size and kinda large for me.Who do you know carries other sizes.Any input would be appreciated. Thanks |

Probably the best web gear for your situation would be a Chinese SKS bandolier. They usually run about $8 to $12 each. They have 10 pockets, each designed to hold 2 SKS 10 round stripper clips. The pockets fit a 20 round M-16 mag rather snug. They hold a 10 round mag, like say, for a Mini-14, with enough extra room to grab the mag freely. The chest bandolier is worn with the straps crossed in the back. It doesn't get in the way of backpacks or other gear. What I'd do is replace the button/loop closures with fastex buckles and maybe some velcro. I'd also replace the shoulder and back straps with 1.5" or 2" webbing and fastex buckles for quick release. Look at this link to give you some ideas on how to modify Chinese canvas gear. http://www.geocities.com/mrostov/gearpages/chest_pouch.htm |
