I wear a TT drop-leg dump pouch, and I keep my rag in it. Works great unless I've dumped five mags into it already, in which case getting the rag out becomes cumbersome.

But on the back, is that actually Molle? What can you put on the back, and what do you guys suggest? Because I use the almost same exact vest, except is is a bit different style and in OD. I am also buying one from Sino anyhow soon.

Yes, it's actual molle.The vest has three strips of molle on the back, each houses 10 molle loops. It also has an additional three loops on my right side. Not sure what they are for. What can you put on the back, and what do you guys suggest? I've posed this question already. I like the idea of carrying everything but the kitchen sink. Still waiting on suggestions of what else can be carried.

I usually carry food and a poncho on back pouches.

Well I don't usually eat in the heat of battle Any other suggestions for me and Nightcrawler (the reason why I re-asked the question was because yours was still sort of unanswered).

I suggest putting a Weesatch on the back of your vest. Er wait, what. ;D
Besides a CamelBak there really isn't much to put on there. Maybe a radio pouch, if you prefer it in the back. Hell you could even put your holster on it, for the gangster feel.

When I was at the 14+ ACO Event I saw DE50Man with a pistol holster on his right shoulder. I thought it was kinda cool. No idea how I could do something like that though, though I have seen vests that come like that. That way I could try to fit all 6 of my GBBs on me somehow, someway . Camel Packs look about it, except for the Holster. I will look around for anything I think is interesting....

Isnt the reason DE has one his back because he has the Desert Eagle with the 7 inch barrell? I think that would be a bit large for your leg.

Thanks again, Zorak, for the pocket clarification. Upon further inspection of the map pockets, I realized the are water-proof; a blatant clue that I didn't pick up on I also now keep my lens cleaner bottle and cloth in one of my spare mag pockets until I get another mag to fill it. I went down to South Haven yesterday because a friend of mine has a woodland pattern holster that can alice clip to a vest. He said that he got it at the surplus store on Phoenix street. When I got there, I discovered that they are now out of business I'm going to try to buy the holster directly from my friend if I can because I know that the perimeter doesn't carry them. I also saw a large rectangular utility pouch at the perimeter in OD that I tried on and grew quite fond of. I figure I'll buy it and then figure out what to put in it I'm startin' to think I that I'm carrying all I can. Still open to suggestions though. Perhaps a sheath and a plastic bayonet.

That could look cool, especialy if you got it to fit on your gun.

My gun is already unwieldy and cumbersome. Another few inches of plastic on the front wouldn't make any difference to me. But I don't like the look of the bayonet on a sg1 anyway. I saw a pic somewhere and it was fugly. I'm figuring that I will get some figure 8 mounts for my barrel for a tac light and that way I could switch it out for the blade if I wanted. However, I do like the idea of unsheathing my knife silently while sneaking behind a guy. That's why I want to keep it on my vest somewhere. EDIT: Got the holster that I wanted from a friend.Thinking about taking off the snap and replacing it with velcro. I clipped it on to the molle on my right side but It was too high and too far back so I just clipped it to my belt and it works just fine. This leaves me wondering what the molle at my right side is for. Someone please entreat me. The vest w/ new holster: The undeclared molle:

Maybe put a personal bandage pouch on there for car keys, or something equally useless on the field but still important?

That's not a bad excuse to buy pouches but I'm curious as to know if the molle on the right side has an intended use. It seems like it should especially since the same molle doesn't appear on the left side.
