Reviews & Ratings for Elite Survival Systems MVP Commandant Tactical Holster Vests — 11 reviews — Page 1

Like the previous reviewer, I also have a Sig P320 X5 with a TLR-1 HL light and the pistol would barely fit the holster If you tightened the holster too much, you can't draw the pistol. If it fits loosely, you'll expose the trigger. Also, the thumb-break strap and elastic security strap are constantly in the way when you re-holster, so you'll have to be extra careful.

The pistol mag pouches are too small and will only hold a 15 round and 17 round mags when closed, but nothing bigger.

Overall, good $50 vest, but I would pay $150 for an imported vest.

Unless you sent me a "womans version" where the zipper is on the wrong side, I'd say this vest sort of sucks if you need to put it on in a hurry. You'll be fumbling with the zipper for a good minute if rushed. Sure, I can practice zipping up a backwards zipper but why do that when there are plenty of other products out there that dont require you to retrain years of muscle memory.

It’s now October 4th and I still haven’t received my vest. How’s that for a review. I hope others aren’t having this problem. Product has been paid for and I still haven’t received product. Would be helpful if I was contacted and advised of any problem company may be experiencing.

Excellent quality, fit and functionality. I’m impressed at how comfortable it is wearing the helmet. Looking forward to adding my accessories and putting it to the test. Thanks Optics planet for excellent service and selling quality products

I'm a weirdo. The right hand is for pistols, the left for rifles (eye dominance).

This is one of the few vests that is truly ambidextrous in design. The shoulders aren't built up with buttstock pads or extra pouches nobody really needs. That's my problem with most tactical vests / chests rigs: too many places to put stuff and not enough places to carry what you need. This one takes the cake.

The pouches it does include are well thought out, and this works perfectly to make magazines readily available to my natural goofy needs in competition. Rifle mags are ready for speedy reloads from my right hand, and the pouches fit six of them perfectly (as advertised). Once the shoulder fit is adjusted (long torso), the hand naturally finds them. Best of all, the offset of the mag carriers doesn't interfere with going prone (unless you're a belly-flopper) when running with the vest open, adjusted so the zipper doesn't connect. This isn't an issue at all if you have it secured to your gun belt: the two clips cinch it down just right.

The pistol holster is well designed and fits a wide range of weapons, with or without tac lights. It's easily adjusted and comes with two retainers: a speed bungee and a plastic clip. When running with the vest open like I prefer, the draw is perfect to access over a rifle carried on a two point. The pistol mag carrier is in a great location for easy access to reloading without much fuss.

Some have complained about the lack of velcro on the pistol mag po...

I carry an X5 and 21 round magazines don’t even come close to fitting in the pouch. Other than that it’s a nice vest, however I don’t think it’s any different from other vests I’ve seen that sold for $40-50.

Vest is good quality mesh, extremely adjustable shoulder straps. The only thing I would change is the holster because it can not be moved along with the other paunches on the vest. Good starting vest but I am going to get another one as well

Well what a vest we have here man the price is a little high but I'm Convinced on the quality don't be fooled by the UTG brand or Norinco those suck. The amazing room for storage is a winner, and I'm a pretty tall guy at 6,3" this came adjusted for a small man but thankfully it was not that much of a pain to adjust for myself. Just make sure when you order your vest you remind yourself to buy the one in which you like to draw out your gun. The holster is sowed on and can only be adjusted to hold the firearm and not to be removed. You do get everything in the picture except for the obvious fake gun. The back of your vest won't come with any extras but man the mole set up and velcro slits make it so you can add all your extra goodies, all in all this is a great vest to start with for any application.

I walk 5 miles a day 3-4 days a week in an urban setting. You'd think I would have no need for a "tactical" vest and you would be wrong. I have been set upon by 5 determined (one viscous) dogs in the past year. I used to just change my route through the neighborhood, but there are unattended dogs everywhere. Didn't help at all. So, I took to carrying pepper spray, a good folding knife, a good fixed blade knife (horizontally) and my carry piece. Plus my cell phone. All of this equipment was somewhat bulky and spread out.
Enter the MVP Vest. There are pockets and pouches for everything as well as various ways to hang a fixed blade knife horizontally. I had to rig a "cover" for the holster which wasn't hard to do and now I can't be accused of open carry. Everything being carried close to center mass makes walking easier (I use trekking poles)and much more comfortable. Every item can be reached easily and quickly. I love this vest!
