The BLACKHAWK! Omega Vest Cross Draw/Pistol Mag is an outstanding product. Besides Blackhawk's legendary attention to quality and durability, is the ability of the user to custom fit this vest to their needs. From the shoulders to the girth, you can adjust this vest just the way you see fit. As you can see in the picture above, you have 4 pistol mag holders all adjustable to the size of your mags. There 3 above the attached holster and 1 on the holster. You can't really see in the picture, but in each one I had a Glock 19 magazine. The holster itself is nothing too fancy, but has an adjustable back-strap with a clip to hold your pistol in place. Also attached to the vest are 3 rifle magazine holders. Each of these holders are also adjustable and will secure the mags with ease. I read a review that these magazine holders were designed to hold 2 each, but I really don't see how that is possible. I attempted to put 2 mags in each holder and it was a tight squeeze to say the least. Above the rifle magazine holders is a catch all pouch with Velcro on the outside for patches. Use this pouch to hold keys, cell phone, compass, etc.. As you can see, I dressed mine up with a Velcro flag patch. D rings and padded shoulders work great. I wore this vest and shot 100 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun with no bruising at all. Inside the vest are 2 zippered pockets, 2 open top pockets and 1 large pocket on the back to hold a bladder bag. My only complaint about this vest lies in the fact that the MOLLE webbing is only located on the back.
