Hey Gang, I'm starting to get geared up for some 3 gun/carbine shoots. I am looking at a BlackHawk Modular Low Profile Chest Rig. With the molle add ons, do they attach firmly enough so that they don't bounce alot when you run, etc? I hate having my gear beat me up when I run. Thanks for any input! Johnny C! |
Yes if they are weaved correctly, you will have no problems  just a quick question, why the blackhawk ? Tactical Tailor and SKD, have really nice chest rigs, that are also usa made. |

868, I stand corrected, I'm looking at the TT MAV Vest Body 2 Piece. I like it's increased versatility (opening front, yoke, & Camel Back, etc.) I think I will order the bare rig first & add additional pouches as I go along. clasky, Well put & well taken. Thanks! Johnny C! |
Finally! Somebody who understands when someone is just breaking his balls!

In my continued quest, I think I want a rig that has some internal ar mag pouches. I guess the MAV 1 & 2 piece don't have that capability, so I may be leaning back toward the BHI Modular Lo Pro, or the Eagle, but I think a split front is important to me... So many choices, so little cash... Thanks for your input! John |
well don't totally 'write off' the one piece. this is my one piece MAV  now this is my 'end of the world' rig, so it loaded a bit more then most, but it's not really hard to get into or out of, but of course YMMV. for a rig that has internal mag pouches, DSG Arms now has the Blackwater I-O low profile rig, but it's only 'one piece' |
well I'm looking at the 2007 catalog, and it does not say or show a pic of the back. did you want PAL's on the back to place a pouch on it ? you could just use a 'regular' camelbak with shoulder straps. |

The BHI rig is not set up for Camelbak without getting the back adapter. I don't remember what BHI calls it. The TacTailor stuff is GTG. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "internal" mag carrying unless you mean the slip pockets on some of the rigs. You might want to check into the mini/half MAV models. You could also use the MAV with single shingles on the panel and your additional pouches on top of those. That might be a way to get where I think you're going. The MAV is a great platform, and it is incredible how much crap you can haul with one, or how little (it is completely modular and user-driven). Especially with the mini/half MAV. They make great active shooter grab bags or a low-pro go bag.

I think I'm ready to order a BlackHawk® S.T.R.I.K.E.™ Enhanced Commando Recon Harness. I'm going to look into buying a small hydration pack to wear with the vest. My last question is, will this rig fit me? I'm 6'-2" at 275 lbs. Thanks for all of the input! Johnny C! |
