[@soyelrubioddurango]

"Thank you for the video! It was incredibly helpful. I appreciate how you explained everything so clearly and provided various options. Your effort is truly appreciated."

[@witkidone]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Duckbombz]

This has to be one of the best 1st-hand reviews of anything, ever, on KZbin. It was super informative, very well thought out, straightforward, concise, and practical. I was pretty sure I wanted one of these, but now I KNOW I do. Awesome job, man. Thank you for making this.

[@witkidone]

+Duckbombz Appreciate the kind words broski. Sorry it took me so long to respond but im glad I could help ya out.

[@madaxe606]

Years late but seconded. Outstanding, no-wasted-jibber-jabber review that covered everything thoroughly and succinctly. This is how to do a gear review!

[@tom_olofsson]

This still holds up as the best review of the SOE chest rig. The classics never go stale.

[@Ratchety]

Ultimately the video that sold me on the SOE micro rig. I purchased one recently and love it. Great video that clearly punches above its weight class and is still relevant.

[@harley78fxe23]

One of the best reviews I have seen on KZbin!!! Wish you would be making more!!

[@jeffadams9807]

I Like This Rig, But I Can't Find This Rig, Do U Have A Link ???

PRICE PLEASE ??? Great Video, Bro...

[@ericferguson9989]

Just got a shottie yesterday. This rig looks perfect. Thanks!

[@joeysuitonu5500]

Been looking at this rig for awhile. Just ordered it after your excellent review!...and you're right that's some SERIOUS firepower!

[@witkidone]

Bad ass bro! Glad my vid helped.

[@gcmountainman9493]

Great video. Nice rig. I have found a product you may have heard of by MTM Case-Gard, they call it "Shell Stack". Basically, a plastic refillable ammo box that holds 25 standard 2 3/4" 12 ga rounds. Unlike a normal cardboard ammo box these are not weather impacted by rain, snow, dew, etc. The Shell Stacks that I purchased off Amazon came in a four pack, so I can have 100 rounds pre-loaded. Like you said on your video the utility pouch will hold a 25 round box, this would allow for 3 quick reloads of your vest. Cheers.

[@777Berzerker777]

Just got my rig today and man.....money well spent. Thanks for the stellar review, bro :D

[@LandseerNorth]

Best video out there on the SOE 12g micro rig. Helped me decide to order mine today. Like you, I shoot long guns left handed, pistols right handed. Thanks for the excellent info.

[@ctdvargas]

best setup I've seen in a long time. excellent capability and well thought out.

[@mozzberg590]

Nice set up, good idea with the shotshell cards.

[@ritesideofthefence5857]

Great video brother. I’ve been using my for quail hunting for the past two seasons.. I load up the cards, full the pouch with a grip of snacks and carry the med kit on my soe hydro pouch connected by H harness. Absolutely , tuff ass life long gear I’m thinking.

[@Scottish223]

This video and this rig kick ass. I love SOE products and I dig your presentation style, man. Keep up the good work.

[@austinmac9567]

So I'm definitely buying one. I don't know if I heard you say or not , what color is that rig??? And how long does it normally take to be sent to you. AND BY THE WAY BEST AND MOST DETAILED REVIEW ...AWSOME

[@johntito6241]

@8:39 lol, "well it's pretty obvious you're packing some heat" Good review. SOE is good stuff.

[@gerardosilva1610]

That's a nice lil rig 🙂 plenty of room for shells and mags more than enough room for some Cookies 🍪🍪

[@scoutsniper485]

Those straps under pouch are for a tourniquet and pouch is a med kit

[@barisersoz286]

The best review i've seen so far. Thanks.

[@j.w.7688]

Nice review man! Where can i buy everything you just showed?

[@mmweesner]

Great review. I love that you showed variations of setup.

[@truecallin9658]

/nice to see someone else who has the same unique shooting style as me. Really enjoyed your review. I was thinking of getting this rig or the cop rig. You sold me on this one.

[@witkidone]

BTW...If you want the exact same setup as i show here, make sure you specify the left hand rig when ordering or the utility pouch will be on the opposite side. Might take a little extra time to get it but Johns usually pretty good about getting orders out fast. Good luck man.

[@TubeDeviant]

Man, I've heard of this rig when it came out, but I'm liking it more and more now.. Love the fact that it can clip onto a plate carrier like the Haley Strategic D3CRX.. I also have a MOLLE compatible shell carrier from TAG which holds 22 shells.. If going shotgun heavy, that rig plus TAG carrier can probably carry 70 plus shells.. Way more than needed.. haha.. LOVE IT.. With a loaded shotgun, butt cuff and side saddle, you can probably carry 100 shells..!!

[@Wsmith247]

Great review, being left handed your set up is perfect. Thanks for the hard work put into this review.

[@witkidone]

Only thing that might not be perfectly placed for a true lefty is the extra pistol mag pouch on the side. Maybe you could use that for a knife or multi tool instead though and pack the extra mag in the admin panel. Anyways thanks for the kind words. Glad my vid helped you out.

[@WMDTVIDS]

Now that was a kick ass review! I understand how brilliant it it. Great rig, perfect for what I have in mind. It would be great if you reviewed the 7.62 micro rig next!

[@kubenkain7169]

Thank you for a well presented reveiw.

[@RebelViking912]

Ordered mine in November last year. Still haven't received. Good luck trying to get one of these, no ETA either. You got lucky to get one.

[@Y123-o8t]

RebelViking912 did you get it

[@213mono]

Awesome video man. I bought the exact same rig from SOE based of this video. 👊

[@witkidone]

213mono Bad ass bro. You're gonna LOVE it!

[@ericmadrigal4549]

Does anyone know if this rig is compatible with a mayflower or crye plate carrier swift clip attachments?

[@austinismyfirstname]

You have all these videos.. What about your ammo?

[@tacratt6091]

Damn I love the shotgun rig! Nice kit.. I can see one of those in my near future! I know SOE makes great gear.

[@OakieDoc]

Excellent review. I own the same piece of kit, and love it. John makes outstanding gear.

[@johnrone9086]

Sweet. Ill have to get one. Perfect for in the trunk and need to get home in a bad situation.

[@ArmyStinger150]

Nice rig man, I have SOEs AR/AK micro rig...unfortunately, it's in black. I hate black gear...but it was a prize, so I had no choice in it's color. So, for now, it's my Zombie Apocalypse rig. All the rest of my gear is Multicam ( mostly the Army's OCP camouflage). I like your setup there, very cool for running a shotty.

[@Codyfarmer]

Do a bug out bag video please!

[@nick_stein]

Excellent review. Imagine 7 people who missed the like button so far. Guys your aim is off. Can you carry this icw a plate carrier?

[@michaeljacobs7995]

This video actually made it to the soe website in case you don't know.

[@skawwwt]

Great review! Loving this set up. Have you had any experience or do you think there's a possibility of incorporating this on a plate carrier?

[@witkidone]

Thanks man. Its a great piece of kit. I actually did look into attaching it to my Banshee but the hardware config on this micro rig doesn't match up to the standard carrier attachments. You'd pretty much have to cut the stock hardware off this rig and attach appropriate 1" ITW Nexus buckles to make it work. As of yet, I haven't had the heart to do any of that so for now they remain incompatible. That being said, you can always just adjust the straps out a bit and wear it over the top of your favorite carrier if armor is a necessity.

[@mr3shootr]

are there ar cards to put on the front and then have 2 more ar mags behind them?

[@mr3shootr]

oh yeah well right now I have a moss 500 and im looking to get a spngfld xd4. And I dont think I could afford an ar+the necessary things for it as is right now, but I wanted to prep what I can a little at a time and was just thinking of once I am able to get an ar how I would transform the micro rig or the cop rig into on that can support an ar primary vs a shotgun.

[@mr3shootr]

Oh yeah I got what the rig could do I was comparing the capacity of it compared to the cop rig, the cop rig can hold 6 shotgun cards, or 3 ars and 3 shotguns, the micro can hold 6 ars if you want or like 7 shotgun cards ( 2 in the pouch and one on the front?) and yeah the pistol mag option on the that is extra that can be attached. Thats another cool thing this has but other doesnt have. But yeah IM just trying to buy one rig that could primary both weapons (a shotgun or ar) the best, thats all. Btw how do those mags in the rear pouch feel, they stab too much? If its cool I might end up just totally copying your setup lol.

[@mr3shootr]

Oh okay, yeah I dont have my leatherman I think I have a crappy old coleman camp tool from scouts. But yeah I'll be sure to mirror your rig not copy verbatim. But I was looking at your rig and that velcro you had on the front of the pouch and I went to the website in the description and I couldnt find your exact rig since the front velcro was what I really wanted, amongst other things, and that pistol mag on the side where did you get that because I'll probably do the same. And yeah I'll let you know how it goes, I'll probably go with 00 buckshot and a few slugs, but until I get enough for my AR im stuck with my moss 500 and springfield xd4. BTW Im looking at the Bushmaster carbon 15, what do you think about that one?

[@mr3shootr]

Oh okay I'll grab one of those mags, but yeah I figured you were going to say that, yeah I'll just have to look a bit more for ARs, Im just trying to grab one before they try and outlaw them or something.

[@SigmaMale9901]

You can probably ad some pouches for more ammo on the waist strap🤔

[@austinmac9567]

Awesome thanks for the quick response man. And again great video

[@bfgivmfith]

Eleven years later apparently this video is on my algorithm. I took some bits and pieces of how to have extra rounds on hand, and how shotguns can "eat". Personally, I think I can handle shit with a shotgun with six rounds. Speaking as an American homeowner of course. Farm no less. War? Sure, let's get our rig right.

[@bfgivmfith]

Right now, I do not need a shotgun shell purse.

[@JesseJamesG22]

holy crap dude! you have all types of rigs! lol good for you

[@implumkrazy]

what a great review

[@mmweesner]

Great review!! Thanks man gave me some great insight. Many thanks.

[@gtbirdleg]

fantastic video. gonna get me one!

[@tanksherman9875]

Cool load-out broham.

[@witkidone]

TANK SHERMAN Appreciated! The versatility of this thing is truly amazing!

[@noBuzzkillin]

Great gothrough man. Diggin' the riggin'

[@mr3shootr]

The only real advantage it seems that the cop rig has on this micro rig is that it has a third sleeve right on front, but it has overall less capacity.

[@badass3374]

Awesome... great ideas.

[@expatxile]

Great review!

[@RJM1011]

Good video thank you I also use rifle and hand gun the same way.

[@gcjctc2]

Nice job

[@MrBuster128]

You should work for SOE because you sold this item well.

[@witkidone]

Thanks for saying so. Its easy to talk about products you truly believe in.

[@davidsanford2711]

good review....thx

[@sluggou812beotch]

I'm toying with buying this or the ksg. Grimm hunter also has a nice one.

[@witkidone]

This right here goes perfect with the KSG. I have both and have used them together many many times. (Assuming you meant “for the ksg”) If you meant to write “or” as in one or the other, I’d start with the gun first and then grab a rig for it soon after! 😅

[@sluggou812beotch]

@@witkidone nah I'm a made in America kind of guy. I have an 870 for every day of the week an 835 for Sundays. I found an SOE in an auction I think I'll pursue.

[@yunassaxer7119]

great!

[@shaydeinsun]

Why are these things so expensive???

[@witkidone]

shaydeinsun You always pay a lot for hand crafted high quality gear and OSOE is top tier stuff so its to be expected. Mil grade materials and workmanship will always = $$$ but because of their bulletproof warranty youll only have to spend once for a lifetime of hard use. Well worth it IMHO.

[@shaydeinsun]

Yea, it's just hard as a starving college kid to find an extra couple hundred dollars laying around lol. Are there any cheaper alternatives? I wish they made like a budget/economic version. So I could get the cheap one for now, then eventually upgrade to the nicer one.

[@witkidone]

shaydeinsun Haha. I feel you on the starving student bit as ive been there myself. If you buy one of the solid patterns like the one im showing here theyre only $140. If you dont have the money available at the moment just save up for a couple months and get it when you have enough. I will always recommend saving for quality over spending on junk youll have to replace many times along the way. I tried the budget alternatives when i first got into gear and i can tell you from experience its pointless. Youll end up with OSOE in the end anyways so might as well not waste the money on the junk while youre figuring that out. Good luck.

[@shaydeinsun]

Yea, that's what I'll have to do. Although I might get the cop rig instead. These are definitely pretty sweet little rigs.

[@spicecrop]

Because they are not made in a sweat shop in China, they are made in the motherfucking USA!

[@Ismael-iw4tm]

Nice my man.

[@jeffgarcia7028]

well done

[@dnhman]

Nice but kind of pricey

[@witkidone]

The best gear always is! WELL worth the price though.

[@NeighborhoodsInUtah]

The gear that SOE makes, will last forever. So its like buying something once. and not having to replace it. :)

[@levidowning5460]

compared to the other stuff they make its cheap for how many parts and compartments it has considering some of their plane bags with just a strap and a zipper are almost half as much.

[@unclejack123]

S.O.E. gives good gear ................... :) ................JRW

[@markbox1547]

I know this is just for show but . bird shot low brass really
