I'm looking to get a plate carrier type setup to use for some 3gun type shooting. I saw the following two in the EE. Any opinions on the two below? Any other recommendations besides these two? Is there a difference between a plate carrier and a vest?

What's the opinion on blackwater gear? I've never heard of them.

the first link

BW gear is/was made by Uncle Mike's, take it for what its worth.

You may reconsider a PC altogether if it is just for sport, and just go with a CR (less weight, you can move faster, might win more).

If you have serious use planned get the PC.

I would go with an Eagle Plate Carrier in Multicam with HSGI shoulder pads as well.  

The Blackwater one just looks to me like those big snaps would mess with shouldering a rifle to me.

where's the cheapest place to get the eagle PC?

Make sure you have Ps to run a PC,

Otherwise it'll be a floppin'

im with the mass on this one, if you dont have plates, there is no reason and a bunch of disadvantages to going with a plate carrier, i would just get a chest rig, its way cheaper and will fit much much better.

+1. I thought about getting a plate carrier at one point but then I realized that it would be a whole lot of bulk for nothing. I can get what I need from just a basic chest rig. If I end up needing more room (for pouches), I can get the MAV 1 pc bib because I ended up ordering a Tactical Tailor MAV. Just something to consider.
