    I need a holster and some sort of chest rig that can hold magazines for an appleseed type shoot, can someone please suggest something? Basically I need a holster for a P226 and something that can hold at least 4 magazines. I could also use a decent backpack that can double as a shooting bag. I don't need top of the line stuff either, this is just for fun, so I was hoping to pay no more than say 70-80$ for each item.

    For a budget Rhodesian Style rig - I got a Blackhawk - you can find them used for around $50 - then add your mag holders and kydex holster to make up the difference.
    For a Backpack - try one of the discount Police Supply places online - I have bought a bunch of stuff from LA Police Gear, and have had good luck with it - its' cheap, and wouldn't want to have to depend on it for anything serious, but it works fine for general light useage... or one of many vendors at your next gunshow - there is no shortage of decent packs for under $50.

    I have a <span style="font-weight: bold">Tactical Tailor </span>Mini-MAV that I use for work (bail out gear for active shooter). It's smaller than some other rigs, and with molle attachments, can be set up in a variety of ways.
