A.C.T.S. Shooting Gear Review

This is the gear we used at the Tucson, Arizona American Confederation of Tactical Shooters (A.C.T.S.) monthly match at Pima Pistol Club. This is a Eagle Industries / SKD Universal chest rig with an S.O.Tech Battle Load Carry System (BLoCS) Small Zippered Medical Pouch and an Army surplus magazine pouch (Desert camo). We shot an AK47 with VTAC sling and an S&W M&P 45 (dark earth). The chest rig held three 30 round AK47 magazines (it can hold 8 max) and two pistol magazines (four pistol mags max). Attached on the shooters left (right in photo) is the S.O. Tech BLoCKS Zippered Medical Pouch with a tourniquet and emergency bandage. On the shooters right (left in pic) is an Army surplus magazine pouch (Desert camo) with a Benchmade 155 SBK under half of it (behind pistol in pic)

One of our editors used this AK47 and VTAC Sling, with Eagle / SKD Universal Chest Rig with Benchmade 155 SBK-ADC knife and S&W M&P .45acp in one of the four M4 / AK magazine pouches. First Aid supplies in the S.O.Tech BLoCKS Medical Pouch. It worked well, stayed in place through a full day of action shooting; crawling through car windows, jumping in and out of vehicles, crawling on the ground and running

With an AK47 slung over one shoulder with the VTAC sling the chest rig keeps the magazines, knife and pistol out of the way

The Eagle / SKD Universal chest rig has pouches for four (4) pistol magazines. The pistol magazines can be used with the flaps down, protecting and retaining them. Or the flap can be folded back into the rifle magazine pouches so they are pinned out of the way and the pistol magazines are easy to access. The rifle magazine pouches on the universal chest rig are large enough to hold most modern pistols. We ran this match with a S&W M&P 45 in dark earth which fit well as well as it's magazines

The VTAC padded sling worked well with the padded shoulder straps of the chest rig

The VTAC padded sling on the AK47 worked well with the padded shoulder straps of the chest rig

The Benchmade 155 SBK knife will be placed under the inside half of the surplus pouch.
