Im running an M4 platform as of now. All I have, apart from things that are just appearance, more or less (shemags, hats, etc), I have a Condor XPC, Admin Pouch at the top of my chest, x3 double stack m4 mag pouches, 3 Mags total, A tactical belt with x2 pistol mag pouches ( I plan to attach my holster and dump pouch to this once I get them) and that's pretty much it. My budget is not defined. I'd rather pay less for something that has similar or same functionality as something else, but depending on the gear in question, I may be more likely to dish out more for something extremely useful / important / high quality. I also like to keep a few tools on my rig, especially for mil-sim type events. A few months ago, I was using a JG AK tactical with 1 hicap that I put in a double m4 mag pouch. I used to use the second mag pouch loaded up with various small tools, but now I need my mag pouches for mags
