I went with the Eagle Universal chest rig, got it from Triad. Which, BTW, came really quickly. I removed the RH radio pouch and sewed horizontal strips of webbing (made from the radio pouch strap) to form a MOLLE-type panel. Then, I mounted a Kabar large TDI knife there. Fitted a Bladetech Glock 17/22 holster inside the first RH pouch and tied it into place with 550 cord (which will work for any of the 17/22/19/23/26/27 pistols just fine). Still allows carry of up to six ARmags, while putting a pistol on the chest rig where it's pretty easy to get to, especially while seated. If you can safely store it with a pistol already in place, then grabbing it and a rifle puts you with a good bit of kit in an easy method to carry it all. Not much of an existence load, but a small ruck can carry that stuff. I found that the mag pouch flaps really secure the 19/23 size mags well. 17/22 ones work good too, but not as much of the flap to stick to the velcro backing. I never bothered to check for different size pouches (flaps, really) as I already knew what pistol I would use with it. Couple of pistol mags, light and multi-tool, and some extra stuff in the inside flat pouch finished it off. The LH radio pouch is still in place, I use a radio in there or a few medical supplies. Haven't decided if I will remove it to add a larger pouch or not. Liked it so much I got another, in a different color. Works great as a roll-out kit, etc. |
Your modifications sound very much like the SKD Eagle Universal chest rig. |
