The great thing about Glock pistols is how modular they are. Assuming for an instant that all of these pistols are chambered in the same caliber, then the parts are interchangeable. Of course, you can't fit a long slide on a small frame, but you can swap out all the standard size parts. And all of the larger magazines fit in the smaller frame guns.
This guy seems to be sponsored by Oakley. Now, Oakley makes some good stuff, including some awesome boots I should review some day, and the assault gloves featured in this video (approved by both Batman and Delta Force). And I should note, you get what you pay for in terms of quality. But Oakley stuff is expensive, and most of it isn't designed for combat. His vest and his leg pouch are for adventure seekers. They aren't designed or constructed for hauling military gear or taking the abuse that's associated with combat.
His leg pouch can carry magazines, but they're just tossed into the top pouch. He's going to be fumbling around looking for one when his back is against the wall and zombies are closing in. A dedicated pistol mag pouch will hold the magazines sure and true and he'll be able to lay his hands on one quickly and reliably.
And it looks like he's soaked all his money into the Oakley gear and cheated himself on the giant bowie knife. His SOG tomahawk is a good choice, but that bowie looks like a flea market special. Maybe if he'd spent less money on his video collection, he could've purchased a San Mai steel Kukri from Cold Steel. That's a worthwhile investment.
Hmmm... This man has obviously placed a lot of thought into his zombie survival kit. Unfortunately, his kit has a high degree of Fail associated with it.
He does okay in his choice of firearms (the ever popular M4 and Glock) and knives (a Kukri and a RAT). He's pretty smart to include binoculars. And, of course, he has water.
But he's critically short of vital supplies such as ammo and water. Now, you could argue that he's only showing a representative selection, but it doesn't appear he has provision for carrying much more ammo and water.
What about food? Why does he waste space with a Rubik's Cube? And an iPod??? Seriously? Oh, yeah, I'll be sure to plug into earbuds and waste one of my most important senses for situational awareness.
Still, he has some nice equipment, and we can learn a lot from looking at shortcomings.
Mini Chest rig to carry your primary's spare mags, blowout kit, quick access secondary spare mags and a dumpbag. The war belt carries more secondary mags, another dump bag, a sturdy knife (looks like an Ontario Knives RAT to me), and a drop holster for the Glock -- note the lanyard attaching the pistol to the belt. It looks like a flashlight or magazine is in a pouch attached to the holster. As you can probably tell by now, there are certain constants in the rigs. But the execution still varies pretty widely. Recently I heard an excellent argument for moving the holster up onto the hip: less weight on your legs means you can run and jump more easily. Holsters started dropping onto the thigh again back in the 80's to help them clear body armor. Now we have chest rigs even in the absence of body armor. Rigs are a constant trade-off of requirements. You need to think about your needs. Which is why we have the Gear Pr0n feature in the first place -- to present you with other people's solutions to help you consider your own.
