And I get it, we\u2019ve all been there. Gadsden short circuits that immediately by having zero ability to add to the chest rig. What you see is what you get.

It was meant for the armed citizen, more and more the modern-day minute man, to have some easily accessible \u201cstuff\u201d. The magazine in your gun might be fine for immediate home defense, but more and more we can see a grey area of citizen need. If your city is on fire, you might want some extra go bang. But still do not need the full Seal Team Ranger load out.<\/p>\n<p>And that niche is perfectly fit by the Minimalist, as well as its little brother the Underground Partisan Chest rig. The Minimalist holds 4 rifle magazines in very secure individual elastic webbing pouches, with pistol mag pouches sewn on the front of them. The Partisan is even more streamlined, holding just the 4 rifle magazines.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Gadsden Dynamics Minimalist Assault Chest Rig back view\" class=\"wp-image-150482 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-768x1024.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Gadsden Dynamics Minimalist Assault Chest Rig back view\" class=\"wp-image-150482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_0161-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rear view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The chest rig is held up by a wide cut of flat nylon webbing, in an H harness style.

And that is in no way an insult. It has one purpose and does that purpose exceedingly well. It is easily concealable under a light jacket and comes in a color scheme to fit that. It is also at home in the woods in its Copperhead or Multicam variants.<\/p>\n<p>Either as a supplement to a belt kit or a stand-alone security item, this chest rig is absolutely dynamite. And at a price of $104-$112 USD, very hard to argue with. This is not only one of the best things I have ever bought, but I am also thinking of buying another one in a different color. It\u2019s that good. This is one I strongly recommend while the lead time is still only 1 to 3 days because that will change as people catch on. Tell\u2019em Clay sent you, and he needs the shotgun version for\u2026.. reasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/administration\/user\/Register.aspx\" title=\"Gadsden Dynamics Minimalist Assault Chest Rig\" target=\"_blank\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!
