need a new vest!

I'm looking for a close quarters vest system to use with my handguns. I'm trying for something around $50 that stops bbs good, and has pistol mag pouches,(and maybe m4 mag pouches). Combat belts are acceptable, though I already have a crappy one.

buy a nice MOLLE/PALS vest for $50 and start collecting the pouches you need as you go. it will be more versatile won't be a complete waste if you decide to go a different rout.

If you want a MOLLE rig (which you DO) for CQB, get one of the following (selected for their low price and my personal experience):

You could always buy pouches for cheap from someone off the classifieds.

EDIT: I'll sell you some M4 ones and a pistol holster cheap!

Skin stops the BBs good enough.

I'd get the weesatch that Switchback linked, I favored that vest than the MBSS one. Mainly due to the built in mag pouches, and I felt a lot more comfortable in it, IMO.

Because they are ugly, of course!

I'm going to be using it for indoor/cqb use, so... I thought black would be good enough, other colors are fine.

Black was popular ten years ago. I like it, but it's no good at hiding you. They're fine in CQC because camouflage really isn't an issue anyway.

YES! and condor sucks huge wang! Trust me, my first condor thing I owned broke literally after ONE cqb match! My cqb gear is all tan AND OD so it's not completely useless outdoors. Getting black will only restrict you. I find coyote brown to be a nice universal color.

Idk I have a Condor MOPC that I've been putting it through hell outdoors (running, sliding, jumping, crashing, flipping, getting soaked and muddy, you name it) with at least 30 lbs of gear and it has not one sign of damage other than it's a bit muddy and dirty. I'm using all Condor pouches and a Condor backpack as well and they are holding up as well as the MOPC.

Some Condor products are better than others though, so choose wisely.

Here you go btw. http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=2693

RACIST.

Find someone selling a Pantac vest and get one of those. You can find them pretty cheap, too.
