Plate carrier or no plate?

Just bought this c7 pocket rig until I can figure out what exactly I want. I'm rocking a SBR AK pattern rifle and a GI 1911.

I like the look of the old ALICE rigs but they won't hold my mags.

These are the best chest rigs hands down.

Thats a good price

FirstSpear JOKER or Haley Strategic. Best out there.
Also there is a general for threads like these newfag

>>>>> /gq/

I want one but I can't really justify it right now. What's a good carrier that won't break a budget? 300 bucks or less

Crye JPC or FirstSpear STT

Also, ask that in the real gear thread

Nice rig man. But use better lighting next time. Bathrooms are good for lighting.

My buddy sold me a grenade vest like pic related along with a Soviet uni in TTsKO in exchange for dropping 20 bucks off the debt he owed me.

Useless but brettycool to have though

Ordered one of these to hold my stripper clips for my SIS. It has 10 pockets, and i have 10 stripper clips. A match made in heaven.
Also I have an alice pack so I don't really need anything more than a bandolier to hold my stripper clips. Everything else is on the alice rig.

Fuck, I've gone and outed myself as a phoneposter. My phone doesn't know SKS yet.

Anyone know of a lower profile plate carrier than First Spear’s “Slick”???

LBT low profile chest rig hides easily under a light jacket. Don't think I would pay full price for one though.

Does nobody use these modular vest setups anymore?

I personally have a fetish for old school surplus. All this modern tacticool stuff doesn't appeal to me as much as my ALICE rig does. It does what I need it to, and stops there. The aesthetics are great too.
Also surplus is way cheaper.

Tbh my preferred plate carrier is from BDS tactical. YOu can customise the color OD, Ranger Green, Coyote etc and what you want on it. Plus it's American made

How are you liking that Ronin belt?

I went from an HSGI suregrip belt to a Ronin. Does everything I want in a tighter package.

Have same item, solid enough gear for the price, only gripe is the needless small pocket on left shoulder/chest area.

my issue with the belts is when I bend over it rides up my lower back, then shit moves and twists... drives me up the wall

Ronin is attached by velcro, so it doesnt move, sag, etc.

So worth the buy then... or would you recommend it?

They're trash
Everyone either puts shit directly on their PC or buys a dedicated vest

not that user, but own a ronin TF myself, never been happier. Never had a problem with it, hold holster/glock, 2 mag pouches, IFAK, general purpose pouch, etc. Holds everything extremely well

What plates would yall recommend? I like the level 3 protection I have, but the 8lbs each weighs me down like crazy. Should I compromise rifle protection for lighter weight 3A plates?

I know chest rig =/= plate carrier, but I thought it was still relevant to ask.

Attached: t1[1].png (768x560, 43K)

seeing as its extremely common to encounter rifle rounds no its a pretty dumb idea to compromise rifle protection

I don't know much about plates. What if I stacked two level 3A soft plates together, would that stop a rifle? Because that would still be much lighter than 8lbs. Though I guess if I were going to spend that much money I might as well just get ceramic or something that is both equally light and strong.

Chest rigs are gay

Why the fuck y'all LARPing dweebs need shit like this for

What the fuck

Get a radio, compass, or stuff it with first aid kits. Or candy bars, if you're a fat fuck.

I am building an ALICE rig right now, thankfully the mag pouches will fit G3 mags if you cut the dividers out. I may buy a separate chest rig for mags and just use the belt mag pouches for other gear like first aid etc.

Because the 2a can't be supported by stuffing your wrangler jeans with magazines

>the absolute state of /gq/

Thanks for the info, I think I am going to pick one up, the TF belt, I dont need the senshi

I cannot comprehend how small of a round those would be.

Tactical vests seem pretty good and convenient to me. They offer enough room for all kinds of pouches, including 4 MOLLE row high pouches. If you don’t want plates, they’re a very good option IMO. If you don’t need tons of stuff on your vest, then a small chest rig might be sufficient and maybe more comfortable.

No sir. Areal density matters.

YES

I bought one of these recently, regret not getting the MOLLE variant but it looks neat with a harness over it

what is /gq/ faggot

this desu

Everybody knows M1956 web gear is the best. Crestrigs and plate carriers are a fad

I got issued pic related. It's pretty good as far as free goes. I even just put in the buckles so it can go directly onto a plate carrier.

Lol

it's not lrn2see

It's not. You're just tripping balls.

Or maybe the rear sight is a light shade of gray that blends-in with the OD of the PALS.
Or maybe I shopped it just to fuck with autists. It is April 1st so who the fuck knows?

There's 0 data since S hasn't HTF yet.
Also, FBI estimates 95% of gun crime is handguns.

haha what the fuck

i dont know about the concept in general but i know that this vest specifically is uncomfortable trash

get better plates. Ceramic level 4 plates are on alibaba for 85 each

It's $27, who fucking cares at that point

A free rental?

Do you really trust your life in the hands of a Chinaman, though?

2/10 because I don't like the M16 style handguard and front sight on your rifle.

just an armor carrier, nothing to attach shit to. Best option, IMO, they're concealable if you take off the harness you'd have with it, out in the sandbox i'd usually just bring one of these and a kit belt and a pack, but i was a speshul snowflake M110fag with a pushover Lt that let me do what i want

8/10 for that spoon

feels good to put new rivets in and fix a "broken" alice frame.

I just bought these, I'll let k know if the site is legitimate when I do/don't get them.

You'll have to order through email, their site is fucked up.

Under 5lbs per plate for level 4.
