Global Military Gear Tactical Vest

The vest I received from Amazon.com was evidently a different make than that shown on the product page, even though somewhat similar. A previous reviewer commented that there was a water bladder pouch in the vest but the vest I received did not have one. There were no D rings at the top of the shoulders and the pistol belt around the bottom of the vest was not the same as seen on the product page. The magazine pouches were adequate; I could fit two MAGPUL PMAG 30s in each pouch for a total of 8. The pistol magazine pouches would hold one clip each for my Ruger P95DC for a total of 4 (one pouch is located on the edge of the pistol holster). The draw clasps were poor quality; they had no "teeth" to prevent slippage and some of the straps were so short you couldn't even double them back into the clasps to help prevent any slippage. There were slight differences in positioning of clasps such as seen on the pistol holster. The differences I noted prevented a secure grip on an inserted pistol (I tested the holster using my Ruger P95DC). If you had to run with the vest on be assured you would end up losing your pistol on the ground. The design did not adequately secure the pistol nor keep the pistol holster secured to the vest. If I had kept the vest I could have corrected the design flaws by visiting my local shoe shop spending a few dollars more to have it stitched to my liking but would still have the problem with the clasps and slippage so I reluctantly returned the vest for a refund.

Received the package in good time. The vest appears sturdy. It does hold a total of 8 AR mags not 6. I also have an XDM with the 19rd 9mm mags, it holds them with NO problem at all. I have not fully outfitted it in every way it was designed,yet. I have a minor issur with the pistol holster. Yes, the XDM or 1911 both cause the holster to lean foward as mentioned in other reviews. With some minor tayloring I am sure it can be improved. The velcro holds well but I would NOT suggest trying to run with a gun in the holster. It is a good price and would highly recommend it!

Ordered on Friday and received it on the following Wednesday. Outstanding service. The vest looks as though it is just what I want and think I need. For being on an outdoor range with a 1911 Kimber, this will work. I counted at least 8 pockets that can be used for magazines. A couple could be used for something else,but when I am shooting I do not want a phone or some such on me anyway. Received it today so cannot say what the quality is, but it looks fairly well made and for my purposes should last a good long time. Don't plan on taking it to the sandbox.

I bought this so I could pick back up shooting 3 gun again. I love the fit, everything is where I would have put it if I would have gotten a plain vest and bought puoches for it. It's well put together, so far it's holding up to the wear and tear. I would definitely reccomend this product for comp shooters, or preppers. I love that it has other places to put more gear and a water bladder in the vest.

I own a variety of weapons and this vest makes it so much easier to get ready for the range. I can carry all the ammo I need in one vest! It is light weight, cool and comfortable. The back is made of a tough nylon mesh so, it allows the air to move through to keep me cool. Good purchase for the money. The only down side for a man is getting used to the left handed zipper.

First off this is a family owned business and they enclosed contact information if anything was wrong with the product or if I wasn't happy. This is something you don't get these days. The shipping was fast and free and packaged fine. I don't know how well this vest will stand up under use. I will repost once it has been abused. Looking over the vest some of the stitching seems a little loose and frayed. The quality of the thread used does not look to be of the highest quality for long wear. The zipper is generic and not a YYK. The pistol holster fit my P99 quite well and a small tactical light in the pouch on top. The one issue I see is the Velcro that holds the holster in place. It is a bit shallow and as you move it detaches and reattaches itself. So as you move you will hear the Velcro making noise. Other than the things mentioned it has plenty of storage and adjusts to fit quite well. The belt is nice and stiff with good storage. I was able to mount my Cold Steel OSS horizontally along the belt. There are 3 straps on each side to adjust the fit around the torso and shoulder velcro straps to adjust the length. Final thought: This is a good product for the price and I wished this was made in the US and not China.

very nice quality. Seems well put together for the price.I would recommend replacing the holster. The one that is included seems a bit to cumber sum. Holster mag pouch would not hold my Glock mags. They did fit (1 each) in the 3 left chest holders and the 2 on the belt. The holster mag pouch would hold my SW 5906 mag.There are 3+1 (see below) rifle magazine pouches. The 3 on the right side would hold 2 AR mags each. A little to tight for my liking because of the elastic that is sewn across each pouch. ( I might cut the elastic off)Belt is VERY rigid. Will let time tell if it will break in some.Shooter pad is a nice touch.The flashlight, "grenade" holder is better suited for using as another rifle mag pouch. It will hold 1 AR mag.The 2 inside map pockets are nice. But you better laminate your maps because they will be next to your body.The external map/ accessories pouch is bigger than I thought. You could put lots of stuff in it.The shoulder radio pouch is narrow.All of the quick snaps are TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT! Hope they break in!Not practical for hunters (it isnt orange) or for LEO's. I would not call this professional grade. As comparing this to a USMC Load bearing tactical vest. Great for weekend warriors hunting zombies though:-)Overall if your looking for a great zombie killer tactical vest then look no further!
