Ok guys, after 6 months of deployment and getting some damn good gear, I have finished my setup. It fits, but is untested and untried. I have not perfected the drawing and stowing of the SOG Axe. I have not filled the buttpack yet.
Vest:
I have a Spec ops brand Over armor vest to go over my armor with Sideplates.
I have 6 OSOE AK/M4 pouches loaded with 12 AK mags.
I have a North American Rescue IFAK with a broken case extractor and 2 extra Izzy bandages in it.
I have a 2L camelBak set in a Specopsbrand H.U.M.P pouch, and the tube lined with a Marpat tube cover.
I have a SOG tomahawk with sheath. I am still improving the function of this.
I have 5 Eagle Industries single pistol mag pouches.
I have a OSOE trama shear pouch that isnt filled yet because I dont have any scissors.
I have a HSGI "short bus door gunner" patch
I have a Benchmade Nimravus Tanto knife on my left shoulder for easy draw. A Benchmade hook/safety cutter is connected to the front of the Nimravus.
Battle Belt:
HSGI ATACS sure grip padded belt with An Emdomm CM belt. HSGI suspenders.
2 double pistol mag pouches, Specopsbrand.
Tactical Tailor dump pouch with 2 eagle industries single pistol mag pouches connected.
1 specops brand flashlight holder on the left front to put my flashlight.
Eagle Industries buttpack (not filled)
Safariland 6004 dropleg holster, OD color for the Glock 19.
1110gear.com kydex CAT holder (matching OD) with a CAT in it
I plan on putting a folding knife, CRKT M-16 in a pouch on the right side of the belt as a backup.
I have tried on the setup. Its really heavy, but manageable. It is wide, and bulky, but having armor, and needing the armor seperate from my personal setup is a must. I have to be able to grab the armor and my helmet in a moments notice and head into work. There is no tolerance of AK mags on my issued armor :P
I have a total of 13 AK mags, and spots for 12 Glock mags (I only own 10.... so far)
Remember this setup is for me to put on and never come back home, thus ammo and mag heavy. Its not a micro chest rig and a hip holster. It is what suits me, and will probably be changed in the future.
Thoughts, suggestion, comments?
Thanks, Gunner
