Unless I've come down with a case of the 'tard, I can't for the life of me find a 'Post pics of your plate carrier setup' thread...? I searched with all my team powers but couldn't find one?
If there is none, I will post mine up and start one- or does anyone know where it went? I coulda sworn I've seen one? ETA: Not talking about chest rigs, or 'gear' in general. I'm talking about strictly plate carriers. ETA2: One other person can't find one either; so that must mean this is none! THIS IS NOW A PLATE CARRIER THREAD! –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Please BE SURE to post specs if you join in! Including Plates inside! With chest rig attached: 
Chest rig detached: 
Velocity Systems LWPC in MC with two triple-curve plates by RMR tactical inside. Chest rig is clipped on using the Velocity Systems 'Swift Clip' Attachment system. Chest rig is a TT mini-mav with a triple mag shingle, and two modded Eagle FB pistol mag pouches on each side (modded to fit double stack glock mags). Pouch in front is a MSM Admin pouch. I LOVE this PC because I can not only have a chest rig attached, but also use it under clothing as a low-pro carrier. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Caniac_Nation: All this stuff about “training.” I’ve previously trained Krav Maga but not tactical stuff. Not trying to hijack the thread, but out of curiosity, how are you doing training in a carrier? Are you traveling and taking classes from operators to learn how to clear rooms, quick mag change, and kick in doors? If I showed up at the range at my shooting club in a carrier, I’d look and feel like a wannabe operator tool box. It's past time to change your attitude. |

How are you guys using these PC's with cumberbunds with 1 foot gap on each sides?
If I have more than maybe 5 or 6 inch gap between front and back plates the whole carrier is flopping around. |

 This is my work PC so I had to keep it looking like issue but fitting better. Grey Ghost Minimalist, Esstac Kywi double rifle/pistol, HSGI bleeder, and a TQ now. Plates are a 10x12 triple curve special threat and very comfortable and light. I’m normally a fan of the Esstac Kywi but these are going on the EE once I get some traditional pouches with bungees. This thing spends its life in the trunk and if for some reason it tips over I lose one or both pistol mags. |

The more I LARP around my house, the more I learn about my plate carrier... and the more I strip things off of it.
I removed the 3 rifle mag Tacos on the front and replaced them with a High Ground Gear Velcro-sided kangaroo insert with Kydex tensioners in each pocket. Mag retention feels like a good Kydex holster. This setup provides for a little bit lower of a profile while at the same time allowing me to add things to the front if circumstances require it.  Attached FileI also removed the Beez HT pouch and replaced it with my old Tactical Tailor pouch as it was too small for me to run my Kenwood HT.  Attached FilePlaying around with comms also revealed that my antenna relocation routing was too constricting. I couldn't flip the HT down enough to access the keypad so I moved the M.A.S.T. to the HT side of the back panel. This caused another issue as I could flip down the radio but when stowed the relocation cable now created a bulging loop that had "snag" written all over it. Securing the cable is a balance between it being so tight, it doesn't move freely along the cummerbund (when flipping the radio down/up, and it being so loose it creates a protruding snag loop. I found some water bladder drinking tube clips in a parts bin and used them to secure the cable along a good portion of the cummerbund. These keep the cable tight against the body but loose enough to allow for range of motion caused by accessing the HT. Hopefully these stay put.  Attached File Attached FileEverything hooked up.

BFG Plateminus. Hesco L210. BFG tenspeed triple mag shingle. HSGI shoulder pads.
I had a BFG admin pouch up top but I ditched it. Kinda bulky and got in the way of the mags. Ditch the shoulder pads and mags, and this rig is easily concealable.
