Im thinking of building an HSGI drop leg rig for taking carbine/pistol classes and SHTF situations. I want to build basically the costa leg rig but with the x2rp tacos. They hold 2 ar mags and 1 pistol mag, instead of just one and one. I want the added flexabilitly of being able to carry the 2 extra ar mags. Does any body see any problems, pictures or comments on this set up.
My idea is that I want to run as light as possible and im trying to stay away from a chest rig. What do you guys think of the drop leg set up?? Or should I just get a low profile chest rig?? Other than playing a lot of paintball with various pod rigs, this is all new to me |
| I like the idea of the war belt, but it seems like it would be really hot around the waist. That's why I was leaning towards the leg rig, I don't think it will be as bad around my leg. But it is deff something I need to consider. I want something I can leave set up, and can grab in a moments notice. |

Check out ones that look like they have bumpers or a mesh liner. I wouldn't worry too much about heat, your leg and crotch would be getting hot too. You could get a micro-rig (OSOE or equivalent). Another thing to look at would be a Safariland ELS setup, a lot of 3-gun guys use it (I have one too). Gives you modularity and ability to run whatever you want (shotgun, pistol, rifle). TBH though, you can run just as fast for 3-gun with taco's for pistol and rifle. |
| Chances are your going to need a good belt to run a drop leg anyways so why not set up a belt rig and try it out. If it doesn't suit you all you have to do is buy the drop leg and attach it to your belt. I have the Emdom CM with pads and its comfy with no hot spots plus it is lower profile then some of the larger padded molle warbelts |

Boy is that ever true. Any leg rig or drop holster should be worn as high as possible. Most likely the leg strap will be causing a bit of discomfort in the crotchular area. |
