Well most of his stuff is Blackhawk and all I've read here was about how much that stuff falls apart. I just didn't want to take a chance.

Unless you wish to pursue shooting after it is done, there is no reason to spend the 200-300 bones for a good rig just to never use it again.
I think everything (holster, mag carriers for the pistol and the Eagle rhodesian) ran under $200. I shoot pistols around 1x a month for now so those items won't be wasted. The other item...well who knows. I've always been interested in learning to use a carbine, independent of my career. Maybe it's something I will pursue some day ^_^

Regardless I appreciate the advice.
