ChrisG Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Anyone run with just a belt and attachments or a chest rig too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStew Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yes I only run a belt too fat and tall for chest rig. I general run the belt with pistol holster, 4 pistol mag holder, pouch for m4 style speed loader, radio pouch, dump pouch, admin pouch, pouch for mk5s and generally run a shoulder rig with pistol and mag pouches as suspenders. generally run an MP5 with two high caps taped together so don't have rifle pouches.

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted April 30, 2020 Supporters Share Posted April 30, 2020 Dont run any chest rig these days. Depending on how you define it pretty much all the rigs i actually use/used are belts of some form, albeit with a harness making them into pseudo load bearing kits (or in the case of the smersh straight up a load bearing kit) Tbh i'm of the opinion that the belt rig is the superior ergonomic system, if you arent wearing body armour (look at the systems for militaries prior to mass issuance of body armour) its more convenient. However, in the military context of strapping a bulky plate onto your chest to stop you (hopefully) from dying then you might as well strap a few mags on there while you're at it and free up some belt space for a holster. Pre smersh i used to run pistol mags front left, rifle mags left, dump pouch back left, admin pouches (ammo/speedloader) back right, and a gap on the right/front right for pistol (on a drop leg) and for my rifle to hang when dropped. However now with the smersh its the basic smersh layout (up to 6 mags and 4 nades each side plus the "food bag" which is for things like air tank, speedloader etc), pistol mags and dump pouch back left, water canteen and bayonet back right, and pistol on the left shoulder strap. Not convenient for ambi shooting but its a fair trade for comfort and capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get 4 pistol mag pouch? I'm looking for a decent one. Working on new rig, just a belt drop holster on left. MK23 on right off belt. Pistol mag holders and dump pouch and admin pouch towards bag that has speed loaders etc. Running with sniper rifle. Feel it's way more easy and convenient and overall "less" to contend with. The shoulder rig option is interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shoulder rig option is interesting... Your not alone there, just feels more natural to me. The shoulder straps are good for "not falling down and taking your trousers with them" reasons. Not maybe as fast as a retention holster on a belt mount. I did for a short while run an under shoulder holster and it's not as inconvenient as you'd first think (albeit with a makarov, maybe a bigger pistol could get annoying) but currently i run it on the shoulder strap (think chest draw just to the left) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer amomax/roto style holsters personally and seen they offer that in shoulder strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soft spot for the m9 but the HK45 is vastly superior. it shoots great and is very comfortable to hold. i have moded it to be completely ambidextrous. The TM Hi Capa is a very good gun it has a lot of after market support but it is now 10/15 year old design. any TM released in the last couple years is a better performer. also Hi Capa is single action only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skara Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I run a belt, chest rig and backpack combo when running M4s. Belt with pack for the ARP (until I get those fucking midcaps to feed). Belt + dedicated pack for sniping (ditched the dedicated chest rig as it didn't really make sense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heroshark Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I have 3 rigs, all fairly lashed up affairs but it works for me. One for woodland belt suspenders and mini chest rig. Belt and suspenders pistol cqb. Then a lightweight belt only cqb setup. I find myself using the simple belt the most of the time if I can get away with it. I consists of 2 of the naffest nylon holsters known to man, a length of 2" heavy duty fairly rigid elastic, 2" plastic tri-glide and 2" clip fastener. Doubled with my dungarees for pocket space its ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
