    Need Help From a Pro with Tac Vest

    So here's my vest.



    I'm sure i'll catch some "noob go home" over this, but whatever. I want to know how to use this to it's full potential, and rather than pretend that I know it all I was hoping those of you leo, mil and others who actually know will help, or point me to good sources for what to carry, how to carry, how to use, accessories, etc.

    Eager to learn, THANK YOU for YOUR help.

    The pic no worky
    If it has pockets for your beer then your all gravy

    Seriously though. Im not experienced but what ever vest you get, make sure it fits YOUR needs. Dont just go on what other people need. I do like set ups that are modular with molle and then again I have a lot of **** I will probably end up selling on cal guns eventually. I just keep buying **** till I have a set up that seems perfect for what I need which is not much. Remember, less weight the better. Im sure some pros will chime in shortly though

        Again its all preference but I hate having AR mags on the right side. Makes it more difficult to load as your reaching across your body to grab your mags. I would rather have it transposed to the pistol on the right with right hand draw and mags on the left but thats just my preference. If you watch something like the magpul dynamics video, those guys cant stress it enough that its all about whats comforable to that individual shooter so if you think you will like the vest, go for it. Buy it and if you dont like it, sell it here

          OP, what's the vest for? Hunting? SHTF? Range? Security work? Hanging around your ranch or just for fashion statement?

          If it's just the latter, may I suggest this

                That vest has fixed pockets... not alot you can do with it. It has a slot for your pistol, pistol mags, rifle mags, a compass/misc. pouch and a notebook/shotgun shell/ other misc. pouch.

                I hate those types of vests personally. Pretty amateur setup IMO. Serious folks use Molle vests/ plate carriers and arrange the pouches to thier own tastes and needs.

                  I have a similar vest, i am kinda of a noob with it since i never wear it. What are you using it for. If it is for a SHTF then i would put mags, ammo, find a spot to put a fixed blade knife(on mine i could clip it to the belt). Also in the pocket you may want to put extra very small stuff that you might need. Also may want to consider finding a place to put a very small flash light that would fit on a keychain. I am not a professional.......

                    Well, the question is, what are you planning on using it for? The mission is going to dictate the load out, so to speak. Can't get to where you're going if you don't know where you're starting.

                      Maddog, I will put one aside for you. Pink's your color, right?

                        The mission is SHTF/Battle. I should be able to say i'll never need it, just like I shouldn't need more than: one mag, one box of ammo, one way to start fire. It's right handed, the draw is quick and reliable.

                          Yeah pink is nice. It matches some of my pumps also and the color makes me feel pretty.

                            +1000. You are going to want a MOLLE vest so that you can put everything where you want it. You can also add/remove things as needed.

                              One like this? Where is a good place to get these vests? Any specific reccomendations?
