So far my only requirement is the use of an Eagle Plate Carrier with Cummerbund.
I will be using the Large size, probably Khaki, that I will not have plates for immediately.
I would like to simply have you guys pick out a setup will allow me to make the most efficient use of the space provided. Since I have not seen the item, nor used molle attachment in the past, I am not exactly sure what kind of real estate I am working with. I am also right handed.
I also know that there are various kinds of magazine pouches, so don't be afraid to mix and match different kinds for different purposes. I would also like to keep the bulk to a minimum.
As of now, I only have a few guide lines for my gear. I would like to have a minimum of 6 AR magazines, with a maximum of 10. I would like to have 2-3 of those readily accessable for fast reloads (I've seen some pouches with elastic retainers that just need to be slipped to the side that might work nicely...no idea who makes them though). The rest can be stored using more traditional magazine carriers, whichever you happen to like the most.
I would also like to be able to carry 3-4 handgun magazines on the vest itself as well, probably up in the chest area.
I also have a camelback storm I'd like to incorporate to the system. Two way radio (simple motorola 250), and wouldnt mind a few other misc. pouches for other assorted gear.
Should I feel the need to carry more magazines, I will be purchasing an HSGI thigh rig for AR magazines, and I am also purchasing the HSGI safariland suspension system that comes with a few spare pistol mag pouches.
So, given the criteria above, and also coming from your own personal experience (should I add more, take some away?) What products would you choose to add to this vest to get the job done?
Thanks,
Scott
