Looking at Chest Rigs. What do you guys run?

[hotrodtba]

I am in the market for a chest rig to carry some AR mags. Right now, I am really liking the Eagle Chest Pouch .223

Home :: Vests :: Chest Rigs :: Chest Pouch .223

Does anyone have any input on them? Or is something else I should look at too? Thanks.

Over the years (not one word about my age as when I shave I am still 17) I have worn many different arrangements.

However, I have settled on the Eagle CP 223. I have worn it for the past 8 or 9 carbine classes.

I have a medical pouch on the left of the magazines and a pouch for four (4) 1911 mags on the right. Here's it is on the ready rack by the door. (Yes, I only keep one long gun on the ready rack when not going shooting the next day). I should get another one and put it in the truck or the BoB.

I had a simple chest rig with MOLLE webbing to add pouches and could not get used to it. Tactical Tailor makes a nice vest that I want to pick up after trying on and seeing another person run in a carbine class. It just seemed to fit me better and a little more comfortable over the regular rig.

That looks like the M4 Molle LE:

I considered that one as well, but I would probably just add a couple pistol mag pouches anyways, which the CP .223 has already, plus it carries one more AR mag. Although I do like the quick release buckles on the shoulder straps the M4 Molle LE has.

On the bottom left hand corner my rig reads "CR-M4-MS-LE-RG".

I have always referred to it as the CP 223. Forgive me for being off on the model.

I like having the medical kit on the rig. I hope I never have to use it but at least it goes where I go.

No biggie. I was confused for a while on all their different models. And then SKD tactical has their own variations also.

I have been running one of these and started selling them also.

I did look at one at the Ft. Wayne show last weekend. Did seem to be a nice product. Can you get them in OD green? I see on the Specter website they make them in green.

I am also considering the SOE Micro Rig, but it is more money.

 

[Cwood]

Yes, I can then in any color Specter makes them in. OD, Black, Coyote Tan, ACU, ABU and MultiCam

Good to know. If I decide to go with Specter, I will order from you. Thanks.

I run an Original OSE Micro rig. I like it for the ability to either use it for a chest rig or shoulder rig. There is a reason OSE is a little more expensive. Look at the number of stitching rows and layers or cordura.

I have switched over to an Eagle All Molle Chest Rig(SKD Version).
I really like being able to configure it to the situation at hand, great quality at good price. I need to get an h-harness though!
