Went in to the AR500 showroom today and picked up on of their micro carriers today. This thing is SMALL (exactly what I was looking for.).
Here it is on top of a full size plate carrier for comparison.

So I really just got into building a vest this past November, something I wanted to do for a while but due to lack of funds it just hadn't happened. I was originally going to go Condor, and I went to a flea market I saw on the roadside, and was able to trade some old WW2 gear I had packed away from when I was a kid, for this plus 70 bucks. (vest only) He also was selling a bunch of cool stuff, and had a bargain box where everything was 5 bucks. I got all the mag pouches, the admin pouch (brand new eagle), the radio pouch(brand new eagle, still looking for a decent radio to use, hoping for some suggestions for now I just put in an old Motorola we used to use at work), the 3 mag shingle and a Eagle breachers kit (no real use for this, but for the price and it being brand new I just couldn't say no) all for 35 bucks. I also got the Med kit fully stocked for 20. So for a grand total of 105 I got a IMTV with the soft backers and pouches. I'm pretty happy with it, now I'm working on getting 10 mags but in no real hurry. Any suggestions? I like the way I have it set up now, good arm mobility and a nice comfortable fit. Also working on getting a full set of plates, most likely steel because its what I can afford even though its pretty heavy.
Tacticool knife was free, flame away. I may eventually trade it for a new lower profile vest, but for now its pretty decent I think.

Tried to get the BG check through local LE contacts for classes in addition to attempting to comply with your policy. First they all questioned why I would even need armor and gave me the stink eye, never mind I'm a local business owner, college graduate, no record etc. In addition, when pressed l was told by two different command level officers that they couldn't do it per FBI guidelines for NCIC access since I wasn't officially detained/arrested with Reasonable Suspicion /Probable Cause to justify the review, like a a traffic stop or other valid reason. Very tight regs on accessing Federal databases through official channels that can lead to fines and criminal charges for doing this without PC/RAS for a suspected crime they told me. Don't have a LTC/CCW/CHL,but have provided a copy of US passport to prove citizenship to other armor providers in state and out for those purchases, who ran my info and gave me an all clear without getting treated as a second class citizen. |

Guys, there's several companies out there that won't treat you like your a terrorist and assume your guilty until proven innocent. A few searches and you'll find them. Hoplite armor, and Midwest armor are the first off the top of my head. This is America and I have the right to be treated like I am not automatically guilty of a crime until I prove I am a "good guy,' especially when i t come to something that is defensive and unless thrown at someone cannot be used to harm someone. These hoops are ridiculous at best, and won't stop jack. More of a feel good measure, to make them feel like they are doing something to stop terrorism. |

These hoops are ridiculous at best, and won't stop jack. More of a feel good measure, to make them feel like they are doing something to stop terrorism. I'm not sure it has anything to do with trying to stop terrorism. Rather, they're trying to minimize the risk they are opening themselves up to by selling body armor to civilians. ITAR regulations (and I'm sure several others) forbid the sale/export of body armor to non-Americans. Same thing with night vision. Honestly, having to prove your citizenship to enjoy the freedoms our country provides...I'm OK with. Right or wrong, public perception is everything; it's the cards we've all been dealt. They are simply trying to ensure they aren't sued out of existence if someone uses their product in a high-profile crime. (And let's face it, with today's media, any crime committed with body armor involved is gonna be elevated to high-profile) In a day and age where people are frivolously trying to sue gun manufacturers in spite of the fact that legally obtained firearms are subject to much more stringent rules and background checks, this seems like a reasonable precaution. |

SKD: Back to the plate carrier thread. Heres my banshee plate carrier. This is older 1000d cordura model. Currently running level IV ESAPI plates and level III-A soft armor backers. I have level III-A soft armor cummerbund inserts that are not in at the moment. Trying to keep it as simple yet effective as possible.

I still serve under our Flag, and do so happily everyday, SKD is a labor of love for me - that I do in my spare time, which increasingly takes up more and more of it. Thank you to those that understand our position, whether or not you agree with it. We are all only as good as our word, and as I have said before, I won't sell my soul for any amount of gold. Making a sale isn't worth the possible 2nd and 3rd order effects. These are my words, and not the owner of SKD. SOS I'm sure to those that have been indoctrinated into loving their servitude, my " rhetoric" would be hilarious. But I take my freedom very serious, and yes I do vote with my dollar. My point was to try and show others, that they don't have to get a note from mom that says I am a good guy. And there are other freedom loving companies out there, that don't act like west Germany used to with a "paper please" attitude like everyone is a bad guy until proven innocent. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wootizzle: Can someone recommend me some plate carrier options? I'd like a Crye cpc but that's a little out of my price range in all honesty. I'm not interested in the Skd one. I'll pay up to maybe $400. I'm 6'4" 230. Looking for something comfortable and g2g. I've considered the hsgi mpc and the lbt modular plate carrier. I just have no experience with them and don't want to buy it to return it due to fit. Anyone have any experience with these two or recommend others?

Is there anything comparable to the AR500 micro plate carrier anywhere else?

Sorry. 2000 limit.
The belt After spending way to much on the PC I toned it down for the belt. This stuff is for classes and SHTF so I figured I'd try Condor. I know, I know. But so far so good. The only thing that broke almost immediately, just from wearing it around the house, the freakin plastic Buckley broke on the belt. So I replaced it with the nice connectors in the pic. They cost 3 times more than the belt lol. Going to replace the ones on the drop leg too. Condor inner belt Condor Battle belt TT universal mag pouch Condor pistol mag pouches Condor dump pouch Condor IFAK pouch BFG TQ now. CAT7 in route to me now Armasight pouch I use for admin 
The contents from the EPIK on my PC

Now I have a small roll in my pack. What do you use it for? Maybe I can pick up a few ideas. Any tears in clothing, boots, tie up any wires I had running if they got in the way, in case my flashlight mount failed I could attach it till I could get it properly fixed. Really a thousand things it can be used for when out in the field when you can't go home and fix it the right way. There are more times I used it but can't think of anymore at the moment. That and duct tape can be lifesavers in my book. ETA: Now that I'm thinking of it again I may add it back to my carrier. |

Millions of uses for electrical tape. From taping parts of chemlights to control exposure or for marking to det cord wraps where you don't have time for a proper yule knot. I also carry a roll of electrical tape but mine was always hanging from my belt. Definately a piece of gear on all my kit.

SOS I just just loop some shock cord through the roll and tie if off on my plate carrier. I know some guys who have few yards of duct tape on a small roll or folded flat. A little bit of tape goes a long way in a pinch. Old picture of my set-up but you get the idea.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Repairman_Jack:
I'm not sure it has anything to do with trying to stop terrorism. Rather, they're trying to minimize the risk they are opening themselves up to by selling body armor to civilians. ITAR regulations (and I'm sure several others) forbid the sale/export of body armor to non-Americans. Same thing with night vision. Honestly, having to prove your citizenship to enjoy the freedoms our country provides...I'm OK with. Right or wrong, public perception is everything; it's the cards we've all been dealt. They are simply trying to ensure they aren't sued out of existence if someone uses their product in a high-profile crime. (And let's face it, with today's media, any crime committed with body armor involved is gonna be elevated to high-profile) In a day and age where people are frivolously trying to sue gun manufacturers in spite of the fact that legally obtained firearms are subject to much more stringent rules and background checks, this seems like a reasonable precaution. I don't normally get involved in the political squabble outside of GD but I'll make an exception to agree. As someone who's bought probably over a grand worth of stuff from SKD, including plates, the last thing I want to see is a company which has been so supportive to ARFCOM, its members, and shooting as a whole to go down in flames because someone like Hillary decides to make an example of them after some whack job buys some plates and decides to take out some racially motivated nonsense in another "gun free zone" or some BLM retard decides "fuck da poo-lice" and declares war on the boys in blue. We don't have many political allies who will speak up to defend us in those instances (Sandy Hook aftermath showed we have a few, but not many). |

My last post. I made one but didn't post it before but since the topic won't die.
Feel good measures don't stop bad people from obtaining stuff. They don't stop people who "pass" feel good measures from doing bad stuff. As for covering Thier ass. I "get it". But it's not well thought out. Do you guys really think the news is going to take it easy on SDK and say, " well they tried to prevent this with a good guy check". Nope. They will either ignore it and not even mention it, OR say it wasn't enough and SDK was just doing it for show. You guys have seen the news in action, They will lie, embellish, ignore. Just my 02, but I'm not going to lose sales and take food out of my family's mouth because I'm trying to "protect" business from negative publicity when I KNOW, for a FACT, they will lie and embellish anyway. Won't do it. You could send a huge body guard with every set of plates you sell to babysit the people who buy them and it still won't stop that person if they want to do something wrong. It's a false argument at its worst IMO. And this might even be a moot point. Did the news say anything about where the couple in CA got their gear? Ah well. Not GD. Back to PC's.

Does your IFAK have a pull out tray? Yes, and it can deploy from either side or I can just unvelcro the sheath for it and it falls free. Very easy witj either hand Man I really like that. My only tiny concern would be if I was sitting a lot and constantly putting pressure and movement on the wrappers inside of it. At least in the position you have it in. Is that a non issue? I really like it and I like where you placed it. |

When I do wear it it's comfortable and I've noticed no issues with any packaging on the contents. I inspect them a couple times a month |
