I LOVE THIS VEST!!!! ITS SWEET, IT FIT ME RIGHT OUT THE BOX THEN CAN BE ADJUSTED TO GO OVER BP VEST QUICK,. THIS ISN'T SOME CHEAP CRAPPY VEST LIKE MOST IT WILL HOLD UP, AND FOR THE PRICE YOU CANT GET ANY BETTER ,. I USE IT FOR MY 45 XD SERVICE, AND AR MAGS FOR MY PLR,. ITS LOOKS GOOD,AND SERVES GOOD USE!!!!CANT WAIT TO BUY ANOTHER SPARE!!!A+++++++

WOW-says it all. I chose this vest for call outs. I am a K9 officer for the entire county and wanted to have something handy to grab and go. I did not expect this to be SO comfortable. I do have a gripe though, the holster snaps do come unsnapped when you get to the hands on part, I was running through the woods and i guess the weight of my gun unsnapped it, it didnt fall off but was a surprise when i found my gun flopping around. That isnt a big deal to me seeing that I am going to a drop holster anyway. Just an FYI, I am 6'5'' 240lbs, not small by any means, and it was a little big on me It snaps to my belt line and everything but i little big in the shoulders. Over all I am going to love this vest.

I'll just agree with the rest of the reviews this vest is a good buy, It fits double stacks of my 30 round 7.62 x 39 ak mags very well. holds my .45 xd perfect and the mags fit nice and snug. I like that you can remove the holster and put on a spare two mag pocket in its place that would hold an additional 4 30 mags. I also ordered the molle hydration kit off this sight and attached it to the back of the vest. It just secures with snaps and I didn't think that would be a very good hold so I just tied it down with some para 550 cord and now it for sure will not go anywhere. the only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is Im not the best fan of the zippered front. if that thing broke the whole vest would be worthless. If it had 2 or 3 buckles up the front instead of or in addition to the zipper this vest would be the pro. overall I recommend, it holds 8 30 round ak mags, 7 .45 xd mags right out of the box.

If you are thinking of buying this vest, don't hesitate! Very sturdy, amazing feel, a lot of reasons to buy this vest. Don't waste your time or money on anything else!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this vest mainly from the previous reviews, so I'm adding my own to tell everyone that they're right! I was in the market for a vest, and spent a lot of time looking over the other big brands ($100-$200+). A friend suggested I look at this one, and after some research I decided to take a chance. I am absolutely amazed by this product. It is easily worth twice the price. If you're wondering whether you should buy this or not, BUY IT!! I only have one tiny complaint. The holster is not a "quick draw" holster. It is designed to keep the pistol close to your body as a back-up in case you need it. The buckle release system doesn't lend to a fast draw. This is merely something to be noted, however, and it did not make the vest any less worth it for me. I could go on and on about the benefits of this vest. The belt itself is worth the price, let alone the extra pistol mags, and the holster that not only attaches to the vest but to a belt as well. It also comes with a elastic shotshell holder that attaches to the velcro on the upper right pouch. Oh! And if you don't use the holster, it has additional rifle mags to put in its place. I dunno why you're still reading this! BUY IT!! lol

Well, I was a bit bummed when I ordered the vest because the pic didn't show a strip that would hold the shotgun shells on the top pocket. But, to my surprise it did come with one. It WILL fit six 12ga shotgun shells. It may be a bit tough but its possible. Just take the end of the shell, place it at the opening, pinch the elastic to the shell, and pivot the back of the shell into the elastic. It took me about 20-30 minutes of adjusting to get a good, comfortable fit. I'm 5'11" and 215lbs. It has two inside pockets would be great for a map, etc.. The radio pouch is a bit too small for my cobra radio, but the top right breast pouch, one with shotgun shell strip, can hold it. The vest has elastic straps on the back, I guess for adding a backpack or maybe a hydration kit. There is also a velcro strap on each shoulder. The pistol holster can hold my full size 1911. It looks like it could probably hold a Desert Eagle! The velcro belt can be easily removed and is pretty thick. The only reason I give it 4 bullets is because a piece of velcro on one of the belt loop straps has started to remove itself, an easy fix, but still annoying. Also, I wish the radio pouch on the shoulder would have been a little larger. Overall, I am please with it so far. I think it could come in handy for any "emergency" situation, but can make a nifty range vest.

very nice vest. fits great although i was a little worried. would buy another if i went through this over again. holds many mags and is very versatile.

I bought this vest a while back, not really needing it, I got tired of the cumbersome hip holster getting shoved by my backpack, I dug out the vest and now I'm freed up with more energy not fiddeling with a hip holster, does well to use dualsport riding out in the woods too, very convenient!

i got this vest about three months ago for airsoft and i am glad to say that it is still in perfect condition and i have put this through EVERYTHING. there are pocets on the inside of it so you can hold stuff without it beeing seen i was able to hold 10 m4 mags in this GREAT BUY!!!!!

I was a bit leary before purchasing this vest. I was concerned that it wouldn't fit properly over my body armor or have extra room for my utility belt items. It's a good thing that I was wrong! The vest has room for 6 M16 Mags, 6 shotgun rounds, 3 Glock Mags/6 Colt Mags, Holster fits most pistols, and Extra Pockets inside the vest for low-priority items. You can make this vest fit pretty much anyone except the super overweight (250+ lbs of 45% or more Body Fat Index). I'm 5'11" at 225lbs with a 30" waist and 62" chest and the vest and belt fit perfectly over my Dragon Skin. The Belt is can hold a number of utility items like, extra mags, holsters, cuffs, cell phone, whatever. It's a good buy! It holds up strong and I highly recommend it!

This vest really suprised me. i figured for 60 bucks after shipping, this cost couldnt produce a quality vest, i was wrong. As soon as i took it out of the package i was pretty amazed. Very Heavy duty, no flaws to speak of and great looking. Im 6' 230lbs, this vest didnt fit right out of the box, but it's very adjustable, so with a small adjustment it fit perfectly. It has alot of storage, and i love the crossdraw holster. As far as durability im not sure yet because i just got it, but judging by how well made it seems to be, it should last awile, and even if it only lasted a few years, it only 60 dollars to replace, great vest.

I work private security for a company over in Iraq. We bring alot of our own gear and this is a must light weight very accesible for all needs in the field and has held up to 3 tours. Thats 3 years to the rest of you

Incredible tac vest. I got one for myself, and am about to buy several more for my airsoft team. It is a little on the large side... I'm 5.10, 150lb, wide upper body, and it fits me snugly only if I tighten everything down all the way. Only complaint is that the left rifle mag pouch is hard to get to. I refuse to buy anything else!

i love this vest i used it four days straight rabbit hunting but it pictures a radio holder mine did not come with one and the colors vary product some mine was in black green does not have clip holders on belt

Originally thought more than I needed. Amazing how you find use for all pockets. Removable velcro belt with mags adds versatility. Impressive material strength and fit adjustments make it more than comfortable. Makes everyone else on the range take notice.

WOW! I was impressed with this vest right out of the package. This isn't some lightweight cheapie, it's heavy material, looks to be reinforced in all the right places and has plenty of size adjustment available. I purchased a drop-down thigh holster to go with it, so appreciated the two extra rifle mag pouches. My double-stack XD-45 mags fit the pistol mag pouches with no problem, and it looks like you could probably get two AR mags in each of the rifle pouches. Velcro-lovers delight, there's plenty of it on this vest and belt rig! Plenty bang for the buck in my book.

I was very pleased with this product, indeed! When I first took it out of the package I thought, "Wow, this thing is a beast!" The sheer size of this vest took me by surprise, perfectly fitting my thick, 6'5 frame. The vest both looks and feels great, fitting snugly and allowing quick and easy access to all of it's pouches! The only complaint I had with this vest was the location of the pistol holster, finding it a little awkward to get to. However, this problem was easily remedied! I simply moved it to the belt, which is covered in Velcro, allowing quick attachment of many pouches, holsters, and accessories. I then put on my chest, in place of the holster, two extra 30 round mag pouches, which were included with the vest! In addition to the abundant pistol and rifle mag pouches, this vest sports a shotgun pouch (Upper-Left in the picture) which includes two shell-holding patches that snap right on with Velcro. The pouch also served as an easy-access pocket for my phone, wallet, and personal effects. I would most definitely recommend this pouch to anybody looking for an effective, affordable vest; both veterans and newcomers alike!

This is a very nice piece of gear! As a former officer, who still has lots of friends carrying the shield, I can tell you I got lots of looks when I wore this to a 3-gun match! I'm 6'2, 250#, and the vest fits great! It rides high above the hips, giving me access to my belt goodies, while carrying everything else in the pouches. The pistol holster nicely carries my Para LTC, and the mag puches hold the single stack mags nicely. The AR mag pouches are roomy and except for the one on the far back left, easy to get to (well, my belly may be getting in the way of that one). The mag pouches on the belt seem to be best saved for emergency/last ditch magazine retention, with the buckles being a bit small and not tactically useful (Reloading off the clock comes to mind.) The option of removing the pistol holster and adding 2 more 30 round pouches (included) is a great thought! I would like to see velcro on the back of the vest, but you can't have everything. Great vest, I didn't hesitate reccomending it to some guys, and I expect them to be ordering their own soon. Get this vest for an inexpensive alternative to Blackhawk.

I bought this vest about 3 months ago... I love it. I got it 2 days after I ordered it. It is light-weight, but holds up excellent. I am 6'3", 300lbs, and it fits just fine, with more than enough room to spare... I highly recommend this vest to anyone that is slighty bigger than normal. It comes with a 6-shell holder, (not shown), and that makes it just that much nicer. I am wanting to get into Law Enforcement, and this vest is my first, but I love its ruggedness. Looking forward to using it more one day. Thanks CTD...

The vest is not made that well in my view. The zipper was poorly attacted and the threads came loose the first time I put it on. I am a law enforcement officer and I was going to use this for work, but not now.

Thank God for CTD - My new best friend. This vest is PERFECT for home defense-or ranch varmit hunting - especially out in the rural area where I'm at. I have this thing adjusted using the pulls on the sides - I don't see how this could too big on a person unless you are REALLY skinny. This vest is my key to rapid response for whatever comes my way. Quality is top notch - a velcro lovers dream. The pistol holster/versus mag holder option is nice. It allows you to use a leg holster or a belt holster, for example, and put the optional (included) rifle mag pouches on instead - upping the rds count - in my case -to an additonal 180 .223 rds. All the pouches are deep enough to double up - at least for .223 and 9mm magazines. I also have it filled to the max so I have about 250 rds of .223, 10 rds of 000 12 guage and about 100 rds of 9mm. Still not too heavy with all those rds. I have it hanging where I can get to it...just put it on, grab the rifles and scoot. Now just need to get an Abrams (Wait, I didn't mean to say that outloud.)

I love this vest I took it to the range and but it through Hell; this vest stood up like a champ it gave me no problems. It has enough pockets for all your equipment and fits great. I recommend this vest is worth the money.

Bought this vest as a less expensive alternative to the Blackhawk vest that my local shop never seemed to have in stock. I got the vest and was incredibly impressed with it. The extra mags/holster choice were great and included for free. The pouches easily carry my 30 rd AR15 mags. My Motorola radio fits well in the radio pouch. My coworkers have been so impressed with the vest at this price that they have also all ordered one. I'm not sure why there are complaints about the fit, I'm 6'1" 230 and wear it over body armor and it fits great with still plenty of expansion available. The quality is very impressive- especially for this price. I'd buy another one without hesitation. You won't be disappointed. This vest is meant to be used and its heavy duty construction has held up well with my extended usage. I'm pretty tough on gear but the vest still looks brand new.

This vest was an awsome buy, i,m 6ft and weigh 190lbs, the vest fit perfect out of the package. I did notice the adjustments were very accomidating for me or a larger person. I personally like my vest to fit extremely tight so that the weight of the ammo doesn't bring it down, after making the neccesary adjustments it was perfect, and allowed for fast advances and movement with out it shifting or bouncing around. The mesh used allows the body to breath so it doesn't retain to much body heat. My XD40 fits perfect in the holster, my asp fit perfectly in the pouch, the kabar knife and taser clamped perfectly to the belt. If your thinking about buying...do it, you won't regret it.

Would buy this again in a heartbeat. Only complaint is that AK mags fit a little awkwardly, but fit nonetheless. I am 6' 250 with about a 54" inch chest, and this vest still has plenty of room to go over heavy armor. Truly one size fits all, made of high quality materials.

In case you're wondering, yes G3 magazines do fit well in the pouches. I'm very impressed with the quality/features of this product. The usefulness of the strange rubber piece in the shoulder becomes apparent when shouldering the HK91A3 stock as well. I'm 6'1" 217lbs. with a bit of a keg where my six-pack should be and all size adjustments are about in the middle to provide a snug, comfortable fit. Well worth the purchase price.

Wow !!!! what a great vest as soon as I took it out of the box, I knew that this was the vest for me , It has all features i was looking for and MORE !!! great fit , form , and function.... you can't go wrong !!!! Purchase one for a relative :) or a friend :) the only thing that i don't like is that rubber bar in the shoulder, I quess its there to keep the butt of the weapon from sliding off , other than that, a very cool Vest for you scifi fan's , if you watch Stargate Atlantis, these are the very same vest that the security force use's. Thanks for a great product !!! Bear

I have a lot of experience with Tac vests and was looking for something that would fill in the gap until I could shell out nearly 200 bucks for a Blackhawk vest. This vest was way more than what I expected. I'll be keeping this vest and recommending it to friends. Way more features than I had expected from something this inexpensive. I like the way the holster is removable and will instead be using the extra mag pouches provided with the vest. Very heavy duty- I'm truly impressed. Fits great- at 6-1 230ish I was worried the vest would be too small or fit wierd- seems to fit great. The belt provided with the vest is probably a bonus to most, but I cant seem to find a use for it. The only thing I'd like to see is a bit more velcro on the back to attach the large ID patch better. Of course, if you don't have a large ID patch on your back, this certainly wont bother you.

This was a Christmas gift from my girlfriend and I would have to say it was a great gift!! However, if you are purchasing this for yourself keep these things in mind. This vest is definately made for larger men. I'm about 6 ft. tall and 180lbs and I have it about as tight as it can be. There are enough adjustments to make this vest comfortable enough, but not great. Also, the pistol mag pouches on the chest barley hold my clips for my XD 45 ACP. However, my friends 9mm XD clips fit fine. The larger pouches hold 30 rd AR 15 .223 mags with plenty of room to spare. The rifle butt pad is a joke. You can still shoot comfortably depending how you have the vest adjusted but it serves no real purpase to me. The pouch on the right side of your chest is nice to place extra ammo in however is easily over filled and can spill. I'm a simple target shooter and will be entering tactical macthes next in the spring and I will definately be testing this vest further. For right now this is an excellent buy for price (If you are simple shooter). If you are looking for something for police work I would look around. Over all I am very pleased with this product, but you need to decide what you are going to use it for before buying. I think the average target competition shooter will be pleased.

Absolutely zero complaints about these vests. They are very durable, and they do seem a bit large, maybe too large, but for a GI, it's perfect once you account for personal armor underneath. The manufacturer seems to have thought of everything. (Except maybe a place in the vest itself to place armor plates.) At least they give you the room to wear them.

This is a beautiful vest. It well made, fits comfortably, has more than enough pouches and is great for paint ball. It is cheaper than I have seen for lower quality vests.

Overall, this is awesome. It has plenty of pouches and places to hide and store stuff. My only comlaint is that it is pretty large. I am 6 feet tall, and it is still a little too big. However, it can be adjusted using the velcro. I would recommend this product.
