Not fit for Duty gear
BLUF: It might be fine for paintball, but it's not fit for real DUTY gear.
My 5.11 6x6 MOLLE pouch just wasn't quite big enough for what I needed, so I searched for a 6x8 MOLLE pouch. I ordered this piece of gear through Optics Planet. As usual, OP service was great. This MOLLE pouch however, is a piece of junk. What I failed to notice (so maybe its partly my fault) is that is has only 3 rows of webbing, to 5.11s 4 rows of webbing. What this means is that the Grey Ghost's individual webbing loops are each 1/2 an inch wider than the standard MOLLE webbing found on my Duty External Vest Carrier (SafariLand). The result is that rather than being held firm and tight against the Body Armor carrier, this piece of gear slides back and forth and flops all around which is not acceptable. Other than that glaring failure, it seems a reasonable piece of gear.
