I'm looking for a mag pouch to fit the standard mags not the highcaps so 9mm pouches will do?
I appreciate the help guys, I will definitely keep you posted after Christmas on the status of my set-up now, thanks.

If it fits the high-caps, then it will fit the standers as I believe they are the same size. I don't own an MP7 but I have not seen a gun that has different size standers and high-caps. (Except for drum mags)

The MP7 has either short mags that fit flush with the grip, or extended ones. Highcaps and I believe the MAG 100 rounders are the extended length mags.

Exactly Thor so can anyone confirm the 9mm pouches with the MP7 standards?

If memory serves right the MP7 mags will be a bit to big for 9mm. I would try a .45 double stack compatible mag pouch.

When he said 9mm I thought he meant MP5 pouches, so therefore I thought he may have been talking about extended length ones. But then BigC was talking about .45 double stackers so I got confused.

Yeah talking about the standard mags.
.45 Double stackers? so the link that I had given on the previous page will do fine then?

All I'm Reading is The Navy wants some rounds for their MP7? but its for the development group so all it could mean is they are trying to test it out? It did say it wanted enough for about 1000 employees however. www.optactical.com/empimagpo.htmlI like this However it is kind of expensive and I have read it will fit into pistol pouches but I will keep reading thank you

It's an order form for quite a few MP7 magazines. The Development Group, better known as DEVGRU, does test out new weapons and tactics. I believe they are an extensions of the SEALs in that regard, and I know they do get field time. A couple of DEVGRU guys from MI were killed in Afghanistan around Sept 11. You won't be seeing pictures of them in action with an MP7 any time soon.
Emdom makes good stuff, thus it's expensive, but it looks like it may be your best bet.

Yeah I looked up DEVGRU and I read its the Navy's counter-terrorism unit, like the Delta Force only the Maritime version.
That is almost no help to me though you are correct there aren't any pictures of them really.
but I would imagine their gear set-up to be like mine correct? fast and light? or does one think they might be loaded to the teeth?
Because when I think of a Navy SEAL I think loaded up with mags, guns and ammo, but if say DEVGRU was doing what they do on a ship I wouldn't think that's the case...

Next to no pictures of DEVGRU are out there. That being said, from what we know they have acquired in the past we can infer as to what they are rocking now generally.
From what I have read, Iraq has changed in terms of how guys operate. Guys are keeping it simple, chest rigs, plate carriers and around 4 or 5 mags a piece. Maybe some hydro, possibly an IFAK, sidearm generally belt or chest mounted as it sucks to draw from the leg in a vehicle. As well as small survival essentials, commo, and a frag, banger or smoker if SHTF.
So, basically, your original idea of using a chest rig is what you want to do if your going for realistic and practical.
My intention of the previous post was the fact that you could more than likely pull off a SEAL kit with an MP7 if you put enough thought into it.
Im going to repost this as it is an excellent, if short, guide to setting up your gear. It comes from Basicload over on LF who has been in Iraq.
