Awesome, well made and tough looking tactical vest
By Kingmonkey
The Blackhawk tactical vest is well made, good looking, tough, and will last through the Apocalypse! Has pockets for pistol magazine, semi auto rifle, a general one for, say, shotgun shells, and a pistol holster with a mag holder atop of it (fits my Glock 19)....you gotta get yourself one! These are the pluses...some negatives of wished it had:1. webbing on the front of the vest to atttach things to, there just one on each shoulder, I use one to hand a Ka-Bar knife and the other for a tactical sling2. an outside pocket for documents (there are two inside ones but you have to unzipper first to access)3. shoulder pocket to hold small things4. more velcro on the front to attach using velcro patches; there is one atop the small pouch on the front for attaching ID, but I use this to attach a shotshell holder using velcro system5. I wished it came with the accessory where I could attach a shotshell holder (I had to buy one myself and search the web for something)....Elite Survival Systems tactical vest comes with a removable shot shell holder (velcro attachment); so these little things are nice to haveOne last thing, I know for sure a Glock 19 will fit into the pistol holder, the magazine holder next to the pistol holder is a little tight, as is the pistol holder, but should be okay with a Glock 19; a Glock 21 (full sized 45 ACP) would not fit, which is okay by me since I have a drop leg holster for my Glock 21; if I use this vest for a riot scenario or worse I would put my Glock 30SF 45 ACP into the pistol holster and use a drop leg holster for Glock 21 full sized 45 ACP, this way the magazines are interchangeable between the Glock 30SF and Glock 21. Do your research first before buying this and hoping your pistol will fit the pistol holder (as it is made small and tight); something Blackhawk should have made looser to accommodate different makes/models of gunsOtherwise the vest has a pistol holder, pistol mag holders, assault rifle mag holders....the basics I require at a minimumIt's been a week or two since I got the vest and researching other vests....Tac Force cross draw for example, it is pretty much the same as this one but has an extra accessory pocket on one of the shoulders opposite the padded pouch side, the drag handle on the Tac Force seems to be more elongated than the Omega Elite (should work the same just an aesthetic issue, I like the shorter Blackhawk loop which stays hidden until needed). The price is about the same, Tac Force is cheaper if you find the right web vendor at about $73 before shipping and taxes (I know about Tac Force because they make awesome range bags thhat are tough with a lot of pockets). In hindsight I should have bought the Tac Force crossdraw because I like the extra accessory pocket on the shoulder and D rings it comes with, The Omega Elite advertises as coming with this extra pocket but I do not see it, there are two padded shoulders only (I suppose to cut down on costs to make it since Blackhawk does not have to make a right handed and left handed version, just one version that will accommodate both lefties and righties since both shoulder are padded). I have no doubt, based on my range bag, the Tac Force vest is just as tough or tougher than Blackhawk. I think I may buy the Tac Force and if I like it, I may eBay the Blackhawk or keep Blackhawk and eBay the Tac Force. I seem to get more bang for my buck with the Tac Force though.

Almost Perfect
By Mark E. Gillar
This vest is a very high quality, rugged, worthy of the name BlackHawk. You can feel the quality when you take it out of the box. Shoulders are well padded on both sides, the zippers are well constructed, and you can just tell you're going to get many years of use out of it. If I had to choose one word to describe it, that word would be solid.Two minor complains. Odds are you'll have trouble getting 6 AR-15 mags into those three pouches. Count on getting three. The cross draw can't be removed and placed on the other side of the vest. It therefore is not fully ambidextrous. I shoot a rifle left handed and can use either hand when shooting a pistol. I lucked out. The vest works for me, but a true lefty won't like the cross draw holster.I almost went for one of the $49 cheapies and am glad I didn't.
