Does your med pouch interfere with drawing your pistol at all?

I run the same med pouch in the same location. No issues with my draw or accessing the weapon. Only issue is reholstering as the med kit obscures your view a little. As long as you take your time it's a non issue and I've never seen anyone teach the speed holster technique. It's out of the way yet accessible with both hands. I haven't found a better location for it.

Great pouch too FWIW.

I like mine centered over my drop pouch (Center rear) on battle belt. I never found a comfortable spot on my Armor-Carrier that worked for me. Caveat: It helps to use a "Rip-Away" pouch in this position.

FireandFlames was the reason behind why I chose my PC, pouches, etc, hence our setups are almost the exact same. My ITS pouch is at his place, can't wait to pick it up!

Still a work and progress. Going to try this configuration for a bit.

Makes sense bud. Here's only my $.05, the admin pouch on the chest area may hinder from mag extraction under stress. Not saying its the same for all but from experience it's a pain.

YUT:

I see a couple of posts where the chest mounted AR magazines are pointing to the front/right while belt mounted AR magazines are facing to the rear/left.

Are you guys doing that on purpose or was it just the way you had it set up for the picture?

I don't run rifle mags on my belt but, I think some guys index their mags differently depending on where the mag pouch is mounted. Chest mount vs. belt mount. For example reloads from the belt might be faster using the "beer can" method or hold. Make sense?
