Chest Rigs-non armor


Recommended Posts

Any familiar with non-armor carrying chest rigs?
My minimum requirements are 3 m4 mags and 3pistol mags. 4 and 4 would be better. I'd also if possible like to mount a holster for pistol. No need for armor carrying, med bag or hydration attachment.
I've looked at HSGI,BFG,Esstac, mayflower, but really not sure where to go. Don't want cheap crap but don't want to drop $300 either. It'd be nice to be able to swap platforms from 1911-glock or m4-308 without too much hassle. Any experience and details appreciated! Pics are cool too.

I'll bite.  I have Esstac, Mayflower, had SOE, and have some HSGI pouches.  Esstac is my current favorite due to the back panels being able to be swapped out.  Plus Stu, the owner of Esstac is a super nice guy and easy to work with.  The Mayflower UW Gen IV is also nice but won't fit .308 magazines.

I like Esstac and OSOE. I prefer Original SOE. I am confused whether you want something like a small slick Rig or a big ass mall ninja type Rig (something like a Condor with more crap than Carter has pills). From what I understand I would steer you to SOE to get a AK/M4 Micro Rig and then get some velcro pistol pouchs. You could also get a holster to go in it. I'll post links. Just know if you go SOE you will wait awhile but it will be worth it. Follow the directions on the site and don't be stupid and you'll be fine.

For your needs I actually reccomend a surplus Army issue FLC (Fighting Load Carrier) - you can even pull out the waist retention strap and make a "battle belt"

Or you can do with a Voodoo Tactical drop down rig, just as good, slightly less molle

"Mall ninja", no. Really looking for something that does what my 3gun stuff does but sans shotgun. This would be for certain shoots/matches/classes where the competition belt just won't do. The biggest "if" is secure mounting of a pistol. Being able to grab and go like my comp gear would be nice. I'm kinda thinking at this point that Esstac trim bush with a few pistol tacos might do the trick. Only problem with osoe is the wait/uncertainty of delivery.

I'm not trying to be an ass just nice to know what you were gonna use it for. That really dictates what rig you get.

Nothing compared to the NFA game. Used to waiting for stuff I really want.

SOE or HSGI. I have a shot gun chest rig from soe. It works great as a 3 gun rig. It can hold 2 AR mag pouches and 12 or more shot gun shells. How ever when ever I go out and shoot/train/compete. I always seem to find my self grabbing the HSGI Costa Leg Rig.
