Whichever carrier you get just make sure it will hold the plates. Not all carriers will hold all plate shapes.

I have those plates in my LBT 6094. Both of the cuts you mentioned will fit in the carrier. FWIW, you could even go rectangular for the back since you mentioned wanting a fuller cut in the back.

Is there a reason you want to use two different plate shapes for the front and back?

I have a JPC 2.0 Swimmers cut in XL holding Large 3810 shooters cut plates. Its not a perfect fit but they don't flop around either.

Piggy back on top of this question (since the ESSTAC Daeodon was recommended)
Are ROC tubes as good as first spear tubes? As far as I can tell ROC is a Euro version of first spear's product? Appears to be milspec and I assume ESSTAC would not use them unless they are good. Still though, looking to see if anyone has any first hand experience or knowledge. Thx! |

I’d like to think a carrier recommendation would need more info on what you want to do with it.
I wanted something minimal that I could conceivably conceal under a jacket. Tried a couple things, and the Slickster is the most comfortable solution that I found. Slickster + 3rifle mag shingle, and I’m good. Other people go much more overt. Depends on what you want it to do… |

Curious which one I should go with as well. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is there a reason you want to use two different plate shapes for the front and back? You don't shoulder a rifle on your back so no need for a plate that aids that. If however you can/do thats rad and I need pics! Give me the best coverage possible for my backside and the best coverage for the front that also aids in mobility and shouldering a rifle. Two different requirements may require two different sizes plates |

About .5-.75" movement and the ROC releases vs a full profile movement to release the tubes. Again its my preference and the reason we use them. If donning the plate carrier quickly is more important (bump in the night, active shooter cruiser rig, etc) the cobra buckle bun/belt is much better. |
