Holster/ Belt/ Tac Vest

Hey guys, I am looking for some info on some gear that I am looking at:

I have a got a new side arm (beretta) and am looking for a holster. What is better to get, a leg holster or a under-arm?
Also I am looking at a tac vest and belt and am wondering what I should be looking for.

Guess my biggest question is what do you guys find as a comfortable and quick access setup, so you can reload mags under fire and what not?

Thanks for the info guys, I am still learning this sport

Well, underarm is not something you want, not nearly a quick a draw as a drop leg or hip holster. I personally would recommend a drop leg thigh holster, try and get one who's retaining straps attach to the edges of the holster rather then the back, it'll wobble alot less that way.

Belt is easy, just get a duty belt, they're all over the place in the classifieds.

The vest is the hardest part. It much depends on what type of gun you're getting and how much gear you want to carry. If you just want to carry mags then get a chest rig, they're lower profile, lighter and cooler then a full vest. If not then a full vest is what you need.

If you can afford it, a molle rig is worth it, especially if you're not sure what rifle you're getting or are not sure you're going to stick with it. Molle, in case you don't know, is a type of webbing that allows you to attach whatever pouches you want on to it. If you're on a budget or are absolutely sure what gun you're getting and will be sticking with it then you can get a fixed pouch rig. They're alot cheaper then a molle but what you buy is what you get, no room for customization. So if you decide to go that route make sure to do your homework first.

As to brand names, I've always been a big fan of Eagle but Pantac and a couple of others make good stuff as well.

I have been looking around at hip and leg holsters, and I have been reading around that people have some that the mags keep falling out. Does Eagle/ Pantac make holsters and how much are they?
I have a G&G M4 CQB, i hate 1 hi-cap mag and 5 mids. There will be a few things that I carry with me but not lots, I am looking for something that's not to heavy but has some protection to it as well. How much do you think a half decent vest would cost?

you'll find holsters and vests here http://ascmart.ca/ all pantac. therefore very high quality. I suggest a chest rig for the vest, you want something as light weight as possible and you don't need "protection" it's airsoft not real steal so armour is just added weight.

The Eagle Universal might be a good idea. Pretty low profile, and cheap to boot.
ASC Mart carries the Pantac version, but there's also some good deals on the classifieds.
