I don't use ranger plates, but I do use Magpul loops, and they work with them. I fold them tight, so the loops pull to the front and don't sit straight up. I'll check them to see if they would work without doing this. |

I might be up for a group buy. I already have a Wasatch and an Eagle Plate Carrier. I wouldn't mind getting a cheap OD or Black one.
Keep us posted if you plan on doing this Stick. |

+ 1 for a Group buy, I'd almost want to do a Group Buy on the blackhawk one, (those mag pouches look a little weird and non movable)
If anyone is interested I do have plates for sale www.ak47.net/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=90&t=342865 |

Which mag pouches look unmoveable? The ones in my pic? If so, they are typical molle style, and go where ever there is space. If you look at the first pictures in the thread of the OD Green version, the black carrier I posted is the same thing.
I might be just misunderstanding which one you mean. |

Mitch, take a look at page one of this thread, and you should see the carrier laid out in OD Green without anything attached. |

To be honest, I'm not sure they woudl fit, but once I get some things finished up, I'll check it out and let you know. If I don't reply in a couple hours, IM me as I probably got sidetracked. I'm off today, so I'm trying to catch up on some little things. |

First post on page 1 looks like a black carrier to me, but I will take your word for it. :) Probably just my bad eyes.
Also, still wondering about the Magpul pulls (upright) and/or Ranger plates working with the 2-mag pouch. Thanks. |

I will run out right now and double check.........
ETA- It looks like ranger pulls would work, it looks like AK 30 rounds mags would be a little to large to close the tops, and using Magpuls without folding them down look as they would be a little to tall. Magpuls fit fine if you turn them so they are the lower profile fit. |

I just got mine today. Seems to be very well made. I'm impressed. I like it so far. I haven't had a chance to really work with it. I have ballistic panels inside as well as rifle plates. Seems really comfortable.
I'll post some pics once I get it set up and get it a little dirty!! |

I just finished putting my PACA panels in my new vest. I am very pleased with the vest so far. It doesn't fit quite as well as I would expect a more (much more) expensive unit to but it is not at all uncomfortable and will definitely work for my needs.
I was not able to get 30 round mags into the built in mag pouches due to the retention straps being very short so I took them off and the mags drop right in. The mag pouches are deep and snug enought that unles I end up hanging by my feet I won't need the retention straps so I'm leaving them off. The cumberbund on this unit is fantastic! I've not seen a better built or more adjustable one yet. The side closures have ample velcro to hold them and one quick release buckle on each side for extra hold. These appear to be sufficient for most uses but I will probably try to add another one or two straps/buckles per side. I will be using this unit when working as a sniper and will be crawling around in it which will definitely snag the side closers. I don't think you can beat this vest for the money. Overall quality appears to be very good. The nylon used and the stitching both seem more than adequate to hold up to tough use. Mine is set up and ready now so I will begin using it the next time my pager goes off. If I encounter any issues I will post again and let everyone know. Pylodog |

I was talking about the two built in mag pouches on either side of the vest. The elastic retention straps over them were too short to allow a mag to go in. |

They certainly took work on mine, and I wouldn't use them for anything other than pictures unless they loosened up a bit. Spray the nylon with silicone, and try it again.

Well, I've been impressed enough w/ the reviews so far, that I broke down and ordered one yesturday. They said that it would ship today (I called too late for anything to happen until today anyways).
I've had a regular (non-molle) vest for the last few years, so, I'm anxiously awaiting to see how this works out. Hopefully it will fit my IIIa soft panels until I get some plates. And of course I now have several pouches that I'll need to buy.  I had been planning on getting an Eagle PC w/ CB eventually, but this looks good enough to try and see how I like it, not to mention $100 less expensive. |

That was probably me. I just ordered 4 of the Double Mag Pouches. Had to get mine while I could. Here's the CTD Weapon & Ammo Bags & Pouches link for everyone to check availability. Here's some other good deals from other venders: Woodland Camo on Sale BlackHawk Closeouts DBT Blowout Sale Various Gear Shops: TAG Duty Gear & Mag Pouches SpecOps Brand BlackWater Gear Lightfighter Tactical SKD Tactical Triad Tactical Eagle Industries OP Tactical Just some of the shops I have saved in favorites.  |

What I have here isn't the same as those you are asking about, but they look to be quiet similar to those that CTD advertises as their MOLLE Rifle Magazine Pouches. I bought these from some seller on Ebay last year, out of curiosity. Anyway, CTD advertises theirs as capable of holding 30rnd AK mags. I'm not really finding that to be the case with these that I have... not to my satisfaction, anyway.   The lid on the left cell is just held with the velcro, but I wouldn't trust it... not much attachement at all. The lid on the right is attached with the velcro + the top snap. Bringing the lid down along the side of the mags is the only way I'm able to snap it. |

Do the Different pouches from CTD come with Malice Clips or do you have to purchase them separately.

I said the same thing lol. Broke down and bought: Black Eagle Type Plate Carrier 2 Dual Mag Pouches Black 1 Dual Pistol Mag Pouch 1 Black Hyration Carrier + Bladder 1 Pistol Pouch $135 shipped to my door hopefully this week. Not a bad price considering my Eagle Plate carrier cost more than that and I can't get any Multicam pouches. * I ordered 3 TT singles for my Eagle *. Still need some dual pouches. This multicam search is a pain in the ass. |

My dad is looking for a plate carrier and while I have an Eagle MOLLE PC/cumberbund I think it would be a good idea to get him some options. This CTD one seems pretty darn close to the Eagle. Might be a good thing for the wife... Hm. |

I've got a SpecOps brand X-4 in black that I bought on Ebay awhile ago. It's pretty nice, it holds 4 mags like advertised but it's very limp when it isn't full. I guess that could be a good thing as when the mag pouches are empty, the vest/plate carrier can be pretty compact.
The backside is pretty stiff and the straps and snaps are plentiful. There seems to be quite a bit of freedom in how you want to mount the pouch and I think I might pick up one or two of the X-2s for a plate carrier if I get one. ETA: now I know what the wierd flap of velcro on the inside is for. You can flip it out and over the velcro on the front so that the fastex buckle is all that keeps it closed... |

I got my vest today. My IIIa panels fit just fine. The pals are very snug as far as I can tell, and it fits me very well, I'm VERY impressed so far w/ the cost vrs. quality.
Someone pointed out earlier that TT has their Snap buckle upgrade for the Interceptor vest, which I think is not a bad idea for the long run. I would rather that the buckle was placed slightly differently and in a pair on each side rather than one only. I also noted that Kifaru has their dock and lock set up that has a slightly larger buckle that I think would look a bit better. I havn't contacted them yet to see what prices etc. they are. |

AR MAG POUCH REVIEW:
Got my 2x2 mag pouches today. Quaility seems to be on par with the vest. The velcro closure straps are adjustable/removeable. This is a great feature. This allows you to run mag-puls, 20 or 40 rounders. Also has an elastic strap around each pouch. This allows the use of one mag to fit secure if the strap is opened or removed. Has rigid straps that snap on back for attachment. I'm sure this is a copy of someones pouch, but at least they copied the right company. My biggest complaint with my current pouches is lack of adjustability (can't use mag-puls).

I've made fun of plenty of people for not adjusting their mag pouches to fit their mags, I never thought of looking for that feature with this equipment.
Please excuse me while I go mock myself.....
