I got a killer deal on large sapis and got them for my medium interceptor. Just like I was issued. It's been 10 years since my last issued set but damn these feel huge.

I don't remember them being this big. Obviously the rear plate is fine but the front makes it harder than I remember aiming handguns and rifles. I just got them in tonight so I'll shoot with them tomorrow to really evaluate how I can function with them.

Do swimmer cut plates make a huge difference?

A big component of Bushido was swimming in armor.

I have a set of XL sized plates and I think I should have gone with L. They fit, but they are a little awkward.

You can wear your front plate lower or angle that gun to miss the plate.  I run Mediums now but I aint getting rid of my larges. I'll eventually rig a plate carrier to run larges in the rear and Mediums in front.

I was shouldering guns last night. My M1 was the best fit. Yup, better than AR carbines. I wonder if it's the angle of the buttplate.

I might look into trading into a medium plate to do that too but it's not urgent.

Thanks for the idea

You are going to have to tape two together for the best results.

I shot today and can't notice a difference while I'm shooting compared to my old 9.5x11.5" plates. Don't know why they felt big last night
