Im not sure ill keep the pistol mags in yet kinda seeing how it feels and works in different load outs , unfortunately its a haley strategic chest rig so everything is sewn in. If i could i detach the double pistol mag and stick in the left cummerbund. |

Probably a dumb question, but I’m just starting to research pc’s. Is there a way to have a concealed pc but an option to attach a chest rig if not wanting/needing it to be concealed?
Or would you just have a concealed setup and a full blown setup? |

As you play around with thousands of $$$ worth of gear don’t be surprised if you wind up with a “default” setup that mirrors many of the setups here. Pieces that “just work” have a way of breaking through and into your final setup. A lot of the enjoyment is in the journey and the hunt. |

Slickster or covert will allow a degree of concealment. Plates are hard to hide as it is, especially as it gets warmer. Swiftclips let you add chest rigs. |

Yes, you are correct, I hadn’t removed the plastic yet, because I didn’t have a pouch for it. I now have one and it sits comfortably without the overwrap.

If anyone is interested, Rogue Fitness makes weight plates for vests. I have a few sets and the curve is very comfortable in my Crye Airlite SPC. Good training substitute for your expensive real plates.
