Woohoo! The chubby old mailman just delivered my new el cheapo LBV today. Just in time for the skirmish tomorrow afternoon which makes me really happy! I've been looking to buy a vest for what seems like ages now. Missing out on the one vest I talked about in a proir post (in off topic), I was determined to get SOMETHING for the upcoming game. While Blackhawk vests did cross my mind, in the end I was turned off by the high prices. (I'm poor!), so while checking out ebay one evening I spotted a nice simple US style LBV for 35 dollars. Sure I could have found a REAL US mil. LBV much cheaper than that, but I REALLY wanted a black one. SO.....I got it! Really it isn't that bad, I was expecting maybe a little more I guess. I think the only thing that bugs me is that the nylon material has a little shine to it. But perhaps if I throw it in the wash or drag it around on the ground outside a couple of times It'll look perfect. It has 4 large pouches on the chest and 2 smaller pouches below. My pistol belt clips right in and wow, it really makes my G18/thigh holster MUCH easier to carry. No longer is it pulling down towards the right like some John Wayne cowboy, everything is perfect. I'll take a pic of it in a little bit. Stay tuned.

Well good lord! I don't know WHY but for some reason the frickin FTP is only letting a maximum 10 users connect. I don't see how the hell everyone is going to make thier sites work if it only lets 10 people on at a time. But oh well...thats Slovak thinking for ya. I guess the alcohol running through their veins has finally beaten the blood and now stupidity reigns supreme.
Which means....no pics for you. I dragged poor freezing Ballista outside just to take some pics and now I can't even post them. Bah!
Maybe I should move. *me strokes beard*

I see em now. just remember, black only works at night, it aint camoflage for sh!t during the day. Swat teams dont wear black to blend in, its for intimidation because they look bad a$$.

Yeah I had that problem today. I wanted to look cool, wearing the grey shirt thingy and balaclava, but I was shot at so much because I stuck out like a sore Newman. Once I changed into camo it was all Newman ownage!

aah crap! yeah Locutus, looks like its the same vest, and doh...10 bucks cheaper too. Aah well, guess thats what I deserve for being so impatient. *me kicks self* I need to get me some camo. Sheesh...after seeing retraw's sneaky camo tactics I reaaaalllyyy need to get me some camo. Aaah Swiss Alpenflague camo would be so neat right now, but I better wait, b-day coming up so maybe I'll get me something then. doh@being old

Try an Army Navy Surplus Store. a pair of camo pants and a jacket will be pretty cheap since they are used. I have a neato hat that I got there too. One of the ones with the brim all around.

Hadoken was too cool on Sunday, /me needs to get a LBV. I'm thinking online, since Harry's doesn't carry any as far as I can tell. I can't find anything to hold my extra mag and I'm going to buy some more, so hopefully I'll find the perfect LBV soon

Well if you have the money it would probably be better if you bought something else. Say...a nice Blackhawk vest. Check out Botach Tactical, they've got some great vests there. Or if you're just looking for something to hold your MP5 magazines, they have some sweet thigh holsters that'll hold 3 magazines for only $49.

Is "raw" the new hip word these days? Doh, Hado can't keep up with ye hooligans. Whatever happened to the good old days of "wicked" and "rad"? hehe
Back to the topic, I THINK there's a modular Blackhawk vest that would allow such a set up. I'll try find a picture of it somewhere.
