I am expecting my PIG to arrive tomorrow. I am planning on ordering the plates and most of the pouches in the next week or two. I believe that I am going to be the newest member ot the TACO fan club. I am trying to settle on an aid pouch. Thinking about the large HSGI EOD pouch. I would like to be able to pack atleast a 500 ml IV bag for certain missions in addition to the other requisite items without having to carry a dedicated bag. I will try to post a few pics once I get it set up (the first time). I have not kept up with the latest and greatest gear for that last few years and am learning quite a bit on the forum here. Again, thanks to all.

I have a few questions. 1. Why have the 4th rifle mag in a different place from the first 3 on the chest? 2. Why have 4 rifle mags, and 3 pistol mags? Being the pistol is usually a backup weapon, having 3 reloads seems like a little much, and only 4 rifle mags seems a little low. Just my thoughts. 3. how easily can you reach your radio?

Great questions my friend. I use the blast belt when I train without the plate carrier and when I three gun so I need reload(s) on the belt. I'm gonna get rid of the mag pouch on the carrier though. Good input. I can reach the controls on the radio fine but it's all by feel. ETA.....I personally feel having 5 total rifle mags is plenty but I agree with you on the pistol mags. |

Nice gear and tell me about your valet. It's a great idea since it allows you to tweak things. The gear is my duty rig, so it isn't as fancy as some other rigs. I wanted a KISS setup. Regarding the valet, I built it in about 20 minutes with a miter saw and two 2x4s. It is super easy, and I stole the idea from this thread. |

Did you have to mod the adapter or the belt? |

I got some new equipment and wanted to see how it integrated with my existing kit. I had a friend visiting and had them take pictures 360 deg so I could see if there here any areas where things could hang up. Since it was raining I just threw on the boots knowing that I'd be wearing them for 5 minutes. If I was training or working they'd be laced all the way up and tucked....sheez. |

CXS, are those the straps that are sold on HSGI's website to make the PC into a chest rig? Will anything else work for that same purpose?

theBomber How do you like the bump helmet? I recently bought a FAST helemet after debating between the ballistic (FAST) and the bump. I decided that id rather have a little more weight and heat to get the extra protection.
