Is it better to wear a chest rig over a plate carrier or use mag pouches on the plate carrier?

Why the fucking fuck would you do that?

There's a reason that modern plate carriers are almost always covered in PALS webbing. Why throw on two pieces of equipment when one can easily carry both armor and your equipment/ammo?

i did both. the vest i wore over the IOTV was something i could ditch if it caught on something or if i needed to ditch it. i wore a pistol and some mags and a utility pouch on my belt. vest itself didn't really have anything on it unless you counted threaded pens/camelbak and shit.

To save money? Honestly its not a bad idea. You get the protection of a slick plate carrier for less than one with webbing, and you get pouches and utility for presumably less than the cost of pouches.
Over soft armor - logical; most low profile soft armor doesn't have molle anyway and you could wear the same kit with or without the soft armor. Over hard armor - makes less sense, doable but with all the swift-clip placards and chest rigs out there, wearing a chest rig with its own straps over a plate carrier is kind of an answer to an obsolete question.
I tried it before. Was way to bulky for me, rig over a carrier and also with a ruck say goodbye to mobility. They go over better with soft armor. Also depends on what your doing. Do you need armor?
>yes
Then go with a plate carrier
>no
Go with the rig
Yes, for gunners it more simple to drop your chicken vest so you have more room in the turret ring

I prefer a slick and chestrig type setup.

...has that guy never drawn his pistol from that location? It's nearly impossible and completely uncomfortable

I like this. Slick and then a chest rig which you can ditch if want or need. Also mirin' dat woodland m8
