Pouches for fanny-pack location, but still accessable? LRF pouch of choice? Molle holster?

Building a setup for rifle/pistol mags, Glock 9mm, water and extra ammo for RunNgun use.

I use a Kifaru Tailgunner1 on the Omni belt right now, which works admirably with the exception of the rear pack/tailgunner itself. The Omni belt has pals, allowing me to attach mag pouches, LRF pouch, etc, the belt spreads the load and the suspenders help.....problem is, I have to take the whole dam thing off to get into the butt pouch. The zipper is impossible to reach/work while wearing it. That sucks for the RunNgun because the whole thing is on the clock. I need to be able to top off mags, get water, shuffle gear while on the move - preferably on the run.

So, I'm thinking of going to the new BlueForceGear Belt Minus

http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/2013/03/04/blue-force-gear-beltminus/

and use the BFG 10speed mag pouches on the left side of the belt, boom, done.

However, I need help on the right and rear:

Recommendations on a nice clean (preferably with the molle attachments built-in like the BFG stuff) LRF pouch for about 4:30.

Recommendations on a quality Glock 9mm molle mountable holster (might just need to have made/adapt kydex for this?) for 3:00

Recommendation for about 700 cubic inches of storage in a butt pouch of some description that allows access while worn. This could be a divided pouch with flaps like lambo doors hinged off the middle divider, or two pouches....not even sure where to start with this one.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, any recommendations on a gear stitcher who could make a custom setup to fit the back panel of the BFG Belt Minus rig?


Here is existing rig:

What make and model?

I'll throw my hat in this one for G-code with the RTI and what ever mounting option you choose (MOLLE, etc). I run it on the belt with body armor and don't have a problem with clearance. The model I use has a hood on it but with it down it still offers enough retention that you can run,get up ,down etc without worrying you're gonna have it fall out on you.

G-code holsters are, IMO, one of the more reasonably priced holster systems out there. They are about half the price of a Safariland with the same if not better quality. The RTI system is also nice as it is low profile but still allows you to quickly move the holster from one platform to another if you run different kit. They have numerous mounting options so check them out to see what works for you. http://www.tacticalholsters.com/category/Accessories.html

There is no Butt Pack out there that attaches to the back of a rig like the one you run that allows you to access it without removing it in some way from your body or from the rig. You can do like we used to do when we wore LBE's and undo the waist belt and rotate everything around in front of you while leaving both or one of the shoulder straps on (this isn't possible if you also have a ruck on). What I recommend and what many guys do is run a completely separate fag bag/fanny pack over top of the rig and when you need to, rotate the fag bag around to your front so you can access it while you continue walking. Look at Mountain Smith's bags as they are well laid out.


Another rig to look at that I own and use is the TYR COMA rig http://www.tyrtactical.com/products/list/coma-system/sniper-reconnaissance/

As long as you go into it knowing custom is going to cost you then you are good to go. Zulu Nylon gear has done 1 off prototype stuff for me as has SOE.

Here are pics of my COMA rig with a molle mounted backpack. Pistol mounts on the round G code adapter on the right side of the belt. The back pack can be removed and the standard PALS back pad is there for attaching what ever else you want or you can remove it completely for an old school LBE look. I use the old green Paraclete ammo pouches as I can fit 2ea 5 or 10 round mags into them no problem. If I only have one mag in the pouch there is enough velcro on the flap to hold it secure, its one of the reasons I like them over the open top bungee versions. The COMA belt itself has 3ea internal pockets, one in the small of the back and one on each hip that you can open up and store small stuff. You could put a magazine in them easy if you wanted a quick access mag as the velcro closure would hold them secure. You can see the small pull tab with grommet in it in the pictures to get an idea of where the pockets are located.

The smaller green pouch I use for a kestrel. The multi cam pouch on the left hip is a multi purpose pouch that has internal pouches and elastics for holding everything from chemlights/flashlights/multi tools to a FDC/Mil dot master/pens/pencils or more loose ammo/mags. I also have a medium sized green Paraclete GP pouch in the small of my back under the backpack. Thats for use when the backpack is off and I can put a small set of binos/rangefinder in it as it has elastics on the side that compress it down to hold the contents secure.

The backpack is about the size of your typical 3 day assault pack but not as deep. It can hold a water bladder inside of it and has a internal piece of HDPE to give it some rigidity while still remaining flexible. There are also two small velcro access pockets on the outside that open into a compartment inside the bag that I find work well for placing the feet of a tripod into. The interior of the bag has your typical smaller mesh pockets and internal security straps to hold the load tight.
