ok, i'm not even sure if what i want exists or not, but i would like a pair of holsters for medium frame (m9-ish) pistols that can be mounted onto the back of a tactical vest. can someone at least point me in the general direction of if they exist, what they're called, and/or where to find them, it would be appreciated. thank you

On the back of a vest? You'd want to mount them horizontally, or facing downward, right? If it's a MOLLE vest then any modular holster could be mounted upside down (though you'd want to make sure it had a really good retention strap, not just a thumb break). The Paraclete envelope holster might work, but it attaches to the PALS with Velcro, and I'd be nervous about random foliage yanking it off my back. I don't know what exactly you're trying to accomplish, but I wonder whether there isn't a better way.

Is it a modular vest? If so, any kind of modular holster with a Tactical Tailor 45 degree adapter should work fine.
EDIT: Curse you Zorak.

i don't think it's a modular vest... it's a blackhawk omega crossdraw
i would prefer if they pointed the guns downward at a 45degree angle or so, but would settle for 90degree

If it's not modular, how would you attach the holsters at all? Got a pic of the back of the vest?
And my question still stands... what problem are you trying to solve?

Blackhawk vests usually come with molle/ALICE type webbing on the back of them (with the super huge/wide loops), and no, it is not a modular vest
Your best bet in my opinion is to look for a holster on Blackhawk's website that's compatible with "BTS webbing" (that's the official BHI designation for it)

You can attach MOLLE gear to ALICE-width loops easily enough. You can't weave the straps, so the mount is a little looser, but that's inevitable with the ALICE design.

i'm not trying to solve a problem, per say... just looking for a convenient way to transport 3 pistols, excluding thigh and belt holsters

If you're looking to transport 3 pistols, I would get a modular belt and some general purpose (GP) pouches unless you're going to shell out for holsters that have an airborne flap. The reason I say this is because if you lose a pistol, it may be a looong time before you notice.

You don't need a modular belt. As I mentioned above, MOLLE cargo pouches will wrap around any belt just fine. Cargo pouches make the most sense - they fasten securely and they're a lot cheaper than holsters. Furthermore, when you realize that there's no good reason to carry three pistols around, you can stuff them with food or ammo instead.

I think a belt would make it easier to get the things out. You'd just have to spin the belt around your waist to pull the pouches around to your front instead of having to take off your vest.

My question is...why!!!?!?!
What is the point of three pistols, why not just carry more magazines for said pistol?

Style is a pin-stripe suit. Now that would merrit like six guns, hidden through-out the body; and a pinstripe fedora...with metal brim of course.
Actually, wait Pat has good idea.
In bad boys II Will Smith's character had his pistol mounted behind him attached on his belt.
You could do something similar, and just have them facing eachother.
