I've got a training class in a few days and the buckle/strap the is on my shoulder broke. It wasn't metal so what would I expect. It's an OD colored vest and I probably won't find an OD colored one so I guess a black one will do.
What is the correct name of this item and where can I find one in metal to replace it.
Thank you.

Are they called a slide glide or a tri-slide glide? Where to buy a metal/steel one to use for plate carrier?

You need a field repairable side release buckle. How wide is it?

There's some information missing here.  What PC is it?

Likely a Condor. They're known for cheap plastic buckles.
One of mine broke.

Something here might help -

The 'split bar' buckles can be used to replace a broken bucket if it was attached in a sewn loop.

Thanks. It's a 2" metal slider buckle.

Let me ask one last question about the 2" metal slider buckle.  Is there one that is rated in the middle to loop a strap through or not? Or is that flat one what I want?

My shellback banshee also has plastic buckles. I ended up clipping one and using the a G-Hook from SKD. The straps a big wider than the ring but they lay very flat, and now i can properly shoulder my rifle. They work very nice, and didn't break the bank. They are also metal so i doubt you can break them.

A picture of your carrier and what broke would be a big help.

It was the buckle that was sewn in. I packed it up and sent it back to the manufacturer. It was a P.I.G. I liked it a lot but it just had a weak point. Not their fault. These things happen and there was a weak point that nobody could have seen.
