The quality you'll get with Velocity Systems gear is great. What I don't particularly like is the lack of flexibility with most of their line-up when it comes to pouch and magazine configuration (ex. I have three chest rigs instead of what'd ideally be two).

If I was buying new from the Velocity right now I'd check out their "Pusher" rig which comes with 5.56, 7.62x51, and 7.62x39 inserts, or Spiritus Systems' Micro Fight Chest Rig System (which also accepts inserts). Both options can be attached to a plate carrier using SwiftClips/QASMs.
 
I’ve been running the Velocity Systems PC with the Haliey Strategic 4 M4/3 pistol mag, also has two admin pouches. It’s great for me as a sniper because I can unclip the whole rig, lay in the prone comfortablely, and still have plates on. I just throw the whole rig in my deployment bag.
 
I know this is an old thread....but finally got around to figuring out what I wanted/needed with our current load out. Went with the Haley Strategic D3CRM micro (5.56) with a multi mission hanger pack, like the below but in all black.

How's that set up working out? I run the Gen IV and a smaller placard version, with the swift-clip kit, on my plate carrier for my mission needs. Been debating on switching however...
 
I just received my Velocity Scarab. Still waiting on my Esstac pouches to finish it all off. I also use the HS Micro Chest Rig. Haven't found a hanger that I like. Currently use the HS, but I'm not a fan of the zipper location. Haven't taken it out on mission yet. I'm coming from an Advanced Slickster from Ferro/ReFactor.

For me it works great, it's just what I need, not too much and not too little. Sits well on my issued angel armor Rise 2.0. It would not work well with my older plate only carrier.

I have been on the fence to upgrade my Velocity APC to a Scarab or ReFactor's Advanced Slickster- What was your motivation to switch to the Scarab? The rear zip panel looks fantastic and is what has been making the Scarab an attractive choice for me.

Yes, some rigs just sit odd on plates haha. Thanks for the feedback, I do like that the main compartment pouch looks roomy enough for various med supplies/instruments I use. I'll have to check one out more thoroughly when I get a chance.
