I was thinking along the same lines with the fanny pack and using that holster, but that's a pain in the ass taking it out and replacing it everytime. Egg where are you?

I sorta like this but would like a little more positive lock on the weapon:

Thats the same one Im using.

To be honest I quit using it because I didnt like the way it rode, and retraining myself to draw from a new location. I went back to using a paddle holster. The added sweep to get the vest out of the way was eaiser to add to my draw than the new cross draw.

YMMV, Im just a pogue.:D

Eagle has made the velcro holsters, I believe the same ones as their briefcases use.

Current production holsters and accessories for 5.11's vest is marked "Made in Vietnam" by, yuck, Blackhawk.

A kit containing all of their items including holster, mag pouch, cuff case, OC can, etc. is available directly from 5.11 tactical at their website.

HTH.

I would prefer to pay more for something made elsewhere.

Vest Down South ...
 

I'm currently wearing the vest down here ("down range - south") and I am getting real good use of it.

The various pockets, especially the utility pockets high on the front are good for notepads, pens and cellphones. The concealed carry pocket on either side of the vest (inside) are very handy and don't open unless you want them to. I'm using the velcro holster made by the local "Comando De Selva" manufacturer and it works very well. I agree that the 5.56 pockets might be better on the left side (as opposed to the right side) but, as we are carrying M9 Berretta's while in civilian dress, the 9mm magazines fit perfectly well on the left side pocket currently there. Since I would be making the magazine change from the left side, that works out well. I use the deep upper left side pocket found on the inside to carry my passport so that there is little chance that it would fall out (as the pocket is about 12 inches deep by about 7 inches wide and with velcro closures). Since there is quite a bit of media downhere from time to time, my vest makes me look more like a photographer than a "shooter". I'm happy with the vest, I think I'm gonna purchase the pants here shortly.

There ya go Base, get all your boys in 'em so I won't be the only one. Trend setting is blending in.

I put on my new OD green pants, my new black polo and my new OD vest yesterday and I don't mind telling you guys - I looked GOOOOOOOOD!!!! LOL
