Choosing a setup to use for CQB can be hard. There are so many companies and different products, the choices are mind boggling. Whether you want to go with a simple harness, a vest with internal pouches, or a vest with just molle it's a hard decision, and how do you know its the right one? I'm putting this rig setup and review together for people who are new to CQB and don't know what to buy. The setup is really quite simple, a belt, one pistol mag pouch (included with belt), and a dump pouch (holds 8 AR mags/only need 5). Here are some pictures 
Both items are made by Condor Tactical and can be found on their website. The belt runs around $20 and the dump pouch $15. Yes this doesn't look like anything special, but the setup is supplemental. You could go out and purchase a cheap vest for under $100, but will it be able to fill all the needs you have now and in the future? At least with this setup, you can incorporate it into another rig you buy later on (if you even want to switch) Well you might be thinking "HMMM it looks good, but does it work?" well I say.....you tell me (all firearms were safety checked before drills were ran)

I believe the mag locations are ideal, and with a little practice...your reloads can become pretty slick. The one rifle mag sharing the side of pistol pouch is meant for the transition stages and the advance and fire, where a quicker reload is sometimes needed. Remember you can set this up any way you want, but once you try a CQB match you will understand my placements. Though this may not be the best setup out there, it does the job (and pretty well) until you can make up your mind. I hope this has helped, and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask
