Chest rig show n tell

[freekforge]

What's everyone's chest rigs look like? whether le, mil, prepared citizen, larper. My main ones are HSP dc3r's with some different brand add ons that my wife bought me. I use an ar mag wing for a radio pouch. This is my back up that sits in a tote for a rainy day. Covers some of the necessities and most important of all it holds my favorite patch.

This was after my last class. I need to get the mags back in and clean things up, but you get the idea of my INCOG.

Love the multicam black.

You can always ask for a chest rig show and tell.

Just do not expect it.

DC3RX Heavy. I like the Heavy because of the large front pouch that fits my Steiner binos.

I went with mine for the stuffit pouch. Perfect for flash bangs, smokes, gas etc. Also perfect for a large redbull.

Mine is a fairly simple setup.

I like that setup with the soft armor. How much of a pain is it to throw on quickly?

It's probably easier than throwing it on as just a chest rig. One thing I don't like about most chest rigs is the straps and how long it takes to put them on. I have a HSP that is permanently mounted to a plate carrier because when I use it for work, it just takes too long to mess with the straps. I just never found a good way to get it on quickly.

I replaced the HSP with a Defense Mechanisms Load carrying Platform as my stand alone chest rig. I haven't put it through it's paces yet, but it seems to solve the issues I have with most other chest rigs I've used. I can just dump it over my head like my plate carriers/outer carriers, snap the buckle on one side, and go.

@Gabriel is correct, easier and faster than donning just the chest rig alone, I slide it right over my head like a shirt then adjust slightly here and there...

I couldn't find a chest rig that worked best for everything. I have so many that I'm afraid to show the little woman. The ones that I get the most use out of is my Helikon Training Rig. It just meets my need for a go option to the range or mountains and small sized and has enough to throw in a backpack. Has a nice GP pouch to store my incidentals and smaller pouches for tools and such.

Serious question: is 4-5 spare mags enough load-out?

Most I've spoken to or heard from recommend the 8-ish range.

IME
8 to 10 main weapon mags two or one pistol mags. Remember stuff gets heavy quick when you are moving under adrenaline!

 

[freekforge]

When I picked my chest rig out I was going off of a 7 mag loadout. I had 2 mags on the gun, one on my duty belt and 4 on my chest. During the school year I dropped one mag and replaced it with wedges for school shooter response. That in my eyes would cover pretty much everything (if not way overkill) I'd run into as a town clown.

Thanks!

Why the shovel? Well if the SHTF and the water stops working.... were gonna need a place to poop.
Why the Canteen.. I might get thirsty.
Whats in the pack? A MRE and stuff along with medical.

Besides with Alice, when you put all that heavy arse ammo at the front, the shovel, the pack and the water keeps the ammo from dragging the shoulder strap U on the back of your dang neck.

Its cheap, but not the best out there.
