I'm thinking of picking one up but I've heard some things about other Blackhawk products that makes me a little weary of just picking this up Your pics are not showing up on my computer. But I would get a TAG Banshee, WAY before getting anything Blackhawk as far a PCs goes. Is the Blackhawk US made? |

My low profile/ vehicular movement setup.
Crye JPC with Ares Armor Combat XII pack 
I wanted a system I could use slick or load it up a little bit and still wear under an oversized jacket so no dedicated hydration pouch or IFAK on the plate carrier itself, both are housed in the quick release pack. My dismount patrol setup. Eagle PC w/ cummerbund and Ares Armor Combat XII pack 
My older setup that I needed to mod quite a bit to get what I wanted out of it. |

I decided to go with the HSGI shoulder pads after I saw that the Shellback pads weren't out until november. I'm happy with them. I replaced the HSGI utility pouch and 2 mags with a lower profile maxpedition pouch while using a warbelt. The ATS mag pouch was replaced with an ITW fastmag which is great. |

Great minds think alike I suppose - BUT you went with the TYR because of my post, right? lol. At this point I'm happy with the fastmags, but I'll look at the FB's. |

added another piece of gear to my closet. I've only had it for a short while, but it's nice. It doesnt have the padding that the SPC has, but its not bad. very light, and pretty low profile.
Mayflower APC, s/m SAPI plates, medium Mayflower kangaroo M4 pouch BFG 10 speed

| I want to swap my vest for a plate carrier. I've been trying to decide between the Eagle PC + cummerbund and the Mayflower APC. Now the Banshee looks good, especially for the price. The local store carries TT and a couple friends have the HEV and the LPAC but I want something different. I've check out all the reviews and YouTube videos on the plate carriers in question and it seems like a toss up. Any one have a direct comparison or any input on choosing one PC out of the others? |

I used several zipties to lash a Tactical Tailor malice clip to the back. Two were tight the one in the middle was a little slack; this attched with no issues. . |

just got the RRV, and like it much better than my EPC, so im in the process of building it up.
still up in the air whether i want to keep my IFAK the way it is or if i want a different pouch. still want to add either a triple shingle under the BFG, or get the PIG inserts for the kangaroo pouch of the RRV. contemplating finding a Spine MAP or just a MAP or other molle attachable pack. contemplating an eagle Yote.
