Well looking at the pic threads, it looks like people are going with about 4 AR mags and maybe 2-3 pistol mags due to weight. I want to add an IFAK and some type of hydration system. As for my pistol, I think I'm going to go with a drop leg holster so that I'm not taking up real estate on the vest and adding more weight. My problem is that, there are many companies out there and some have better designs than others and are just as reliable. I was thinking of keeping everything Eagle Ind products but as the other guys have posted, there's so much other good items out there.
On a side note, I purchased my PC from someone here. It has a Triple M4 mag pouch in the front and two single M4 pouches on the cummerbund. Do I really want 5 AR mags? I still have to add the pistols and other pouches.
This is what I am going with for hydration. http://www.atstacticalgear.com/cgi/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=ST-12009 get your own bladder set up and you are G2G.
I am rolling 6 mags in a eagle triple double pouch, on the the CIRAS, and two on belt for the rifle. Way I look at is the pouches are there but if I want to roll only 3 on rig I can. I have 1 double pistol mag pouch on the CIRAS and 1 on the belt mag/surefire g2.
1 "Mini" IFAK, Israeli bandage, combat roll of duct tape, QC Combat Gauze, attached to the front of my carrier with tactical rubber bands I have a CAT tk.
My full size IFAK is located at the 5 o'clock position and its full of goodies (that I am trained to use)
.
Think about a strap cutter, leatherman, illumination, tape, compass, ect........
