what is a god site to buy some gear and uniforms for people who are 6'6 or taller?

I've been lurking around at all good shops for a year now.

Anyone have the May issue of /GQ/? Have been out of town for the last couple weeks and missed it.

>>33866452
Plate carriers are based on plate size, so measure nip to nip and collar bone to just above belly button
Uniforms, just try large long in bdu cut

I was looking to see if anyone knew somewhere online that sold that Eagle Industries AOR 1x3 pouch, I mean, I've seen a few on Ebay but they're like $60+. I suppose in a couple of years time, there will be tons of surplus AOR kit.

because ar500 is not a trustworthy company. I own steel plates from them and they said they were rated above level III and they would stop 5.56. That was disproved by several sources and they had to recant and didn't pay to replace the plates with their improved "III+" plates.

They have done several recalls on their plates and steel is not good body armor. It's heavy and it does not have the same level of protection and its not any cheaper then some level IV certified ceramics.

No amped ptts or electret mics were needed.The problem was the Y cable harness. I bought a MSA U94 PTT that broke within 10 minutes of me setting it up and trying to get it to work. The wires pulled out of the NATO connector assembly and weren't even soldered down ( seller was trying to flip a broken PTT). I bought a replacement PTT and the it still didn't work. The received transmissions would come out from the microphone instead of the headset. I figured something must have been wired wrong, since dynamic mics (I'm using a Peltor MT21) will act as speakers if you wire them wrong. Sure enough, I opened up the Y cable harness and used a soldering iron to switch the mic and head set wires (very very easy 5 minute job) and it worked perfectly. For some reason the Y cable harness that I bought had the leads reversed. Transmissions are now crystal clear.

You tried to make a bad joke but only made a fool of yourself.

In all seriousness I actually like the P320. I almost bought one.

>>33875471
Awesome so I just have a couple of questions. A lot of the custom Kydex holster sites don't have all the drop down menu options that I think are necessary for my pistol.

For example I'm going to have tall suppressor sights, and a threaded barrel, and a light, and my model has serrations on the front of the slide that other models don't have.

Also how perfectly fitted do the holsters have to be to have good retention? For example if I order a kydex holster that is meant for my pistol with a threaded barrel and tall sights, but I want to use the holster with another pistol that is the same, minus the threaded barrel and tall sights, will it fit?

It isn't a rig, it is a battle belt with suspenders, but I'm using it as a rig essentially.

ATS battle belt, ATS inner belt, Sternum strap from SKD tactical (really needed it to keep shoulder straps from sliding outwards), GreyGhostGear 2x2 rifle/pistol mag pouch, ATS double stack rifle mag pouch, MSW Baofeng Pouch, HSGI Bleeder/Blowout, ATS nalgene pouch and a tactical tailer Nalgene pouch. Tactical Tailor fight light dump pouch as well.

>>33876818
I should preface this with I've been researching and working with Kydex since '09 but I've never gone as far as investing in streamlining the process with vacuums or buying the assfuckinglyexpensive blue guns.

I'd assume if you email/contact whoever you're looking to buy from they can make a note to add necessary relief for sights; personally I use a tiny copper pipe taped to my 19 to ensure a suitable sight channel which is simple enough. Serrations shouldn't be a problem unless they somehow add width to your slide. A threaded barrel adds another tiny pipe for relief, if you're looking at a closed-bottom holster. Most of mine are open-bottomed for reasons.

A light makes things tricky because it's either an investment on their part to buy said specific light, or make a jig that adds the space needed; so this depends on who you're looking at.

As far as retention goes it'll depend on what style you want and who's making it. Almost all of the holsters I make focus tension around the trigger guard so as long as it's a 19 it'll fit, although I can't think of any style where shorter sights and no barrel protrusion would make a difference in retention.

I could go into style differences but I feel like I'm rambling already.

>>33868953
For reference my other plate carriers are a Mayflower APC, a Spiritus Systems Slick, and a now-discontinued custom from a guy who works at Snigel Design. The APC does most everything you want a plate carrier to do. The really gucci carriers like the Eagle Aero and the Crye AVS cost so much because of a lot of small refinements and added features that most people won't need. The build quality is fairly comparable between my Mayflower stuff and my Eagle stuff.

>>33877187
Thanks anon, I think I'll pull the trigger on the Mayflower APC soon. Looking at the BFG LMAC as well since it's on sale a few different places, looks like they're discontinuing it or something.

>Also, is there a quality prebuilt IFAK kit and pouch combo out there?

Damn it seems like that gauze could get infected super fast literally being inside the body.

You do you stop someone from going into shock when you're literally shoving your fingers into a gunshot wound?

>>33877386
lol i saw that set. looks like a solid deal at $250 per plate

>>33877408
the gauze is supposed to be kept in a sterile package, and it's not supposed to stay in there for weeks on end.

as for shock that's not as important as not letting them bleed to death. a femoral artery hit in the groin can't be TQ'd and will bleed a guy out in under a minute, that's the kind of wound you need to pack.

>>33877386
They look single curve

>>33877452
My understanding is that if a wound is minor, to not TQ it, but I'd also be reluctant to pack a wound so violently that I wouldn't TQ.

Is there a middle ground kind of treatment for wounds that are bleeding, but not spurting blood like an arterial rupture?

>>33877490
yes, apply pressure but don't pack it. TQ's and wound packing are really for different situations, but both are for treating life-threatening bleeds. The TQ is for bleeds on a limb, while the wound packing method is used for junctional injuries (groin, shoulder) where the TQ cannot be applied.

Just starting, lemme know what you think.

The purpose of this rig is to
1) Look really cool
2) Have a pc stashed in my vehicle in case of unforseen category 3 chimpout (live next to the third most dangerous city in America)

Geared towards getting into/out of vibrant situations with good mobility, decent protection, and decent ammo for my rifle.

Got a 10 speed triple m4 mag pouch in the mail giving me 6+1 mags for the rifle. Still debating on adding a cummerbund to toss on some mags for my sphinx...probably won't as I want to stay light/may not have my pistol on me/am probably too skinny for the cumberbund to fit well but who knows. I don't always cc so it may be wasted real estate. probably just keep an extra mag in something like this: https://tulster.com/neomag-magnetic-pocket-mag-holder/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwuOHHBRDmvsHs8PukyIQBEiQAlEMW0FjBCHrHjaG81_MA-0K8k7z7d8WK84PPDIV_62OtisMaAnSH8P8HAQ

Gonna add a bfg trama kit now and tourniquet now on the back around 6 o'clock.

Adding tactical shemagh and ordered some more patches for operational variety.

Picking up cermaic plates soon (probably multihit iii+ over a iv - more worried about intermediate cartridges than a mosin nagant from out of the blue). But I'm worried about the heat affecting the plates if I habitually leave them in the car a few hours a day.

A pistol reload would be better on the belt your pistol lives on. More than two extra pistol mags is a poor choice on a lightweight rig like this.
Put your IFAK somewhere you can reach it with both hands. I like left hip, but practice and figure out what works for you.
Shemagh is a no. Just...no. That is broadcasting an image you are not backing up and will invite trouble.

Looks like you're wearing an Eagle MMAC. A cummerbund will fit you fine if you add side plates, plus you'll get the added protection.

Do you realize how hard it is to grab something from you 6 o'clock position while wearing armor? Carriers that are set up like that are for people with teammates. This is another reason to get a cummerbund to keep your first aid a little closer.

They are slightly different. Yes, you can upgrade them for comms with a Y harness and a plug-in boom mic. The Y harness goes for around 120 and the plugin mic goes for around 140.

Coming from a 5'11" 150 guy, get medium. Otherwise you will regret it.

I don't always eat right but I legitimately try to not eat a lot of that shit. I don't drink a lot of soda either. Mostly water and coffee.

I was pushing 400 two years ago, and that was all flab. Now on this job I lost fat and gained muscle and I feel a hell of a lot better than I did.

Gotta get rid of this fucking gut before I get pissed enough to cut it off.

I definitely understand when fellow me/k/anic bros get fat

Just went through part of the paste bin, still reading it. If you remember from a handful of threads ago, the town I'm currently living in had one fatal shooting per weekend last year with a weekend off for holidays. And this year is looking too similar for comfort.
> Had to move from off the outskirts of town to barely outside city limits because reasons.
Anywho, just measured myself for plates and I'm 9"x14", and flat as a board (hungry skeleton reporting) that makes me medium size, right?

>>33884264
Awesome, thank you.

I know everyone here will tell me to stay away from AR500 armor, but the paste bin only has dealers for ceramic. Since I have no access to an X-Ray and don't want to fuck with all that hassle, what are some steel options for a skinny fucker like me? Seems like my biggest threat will be "Glock 40s" but there have been a couple isolated cases of guys going ham on each other with a shotgun and an AR.

Brand new plates dont need an xray, xray check is for a used plate.

when you unload your plates from the box, give them a shake and if you hear what sounds like sand you need to return them .
>"Glock 40s"
Hard level IIIA polymer armor wouldnt be a bad choice if you want to stand up to JUST pistol threats but seriously just wear level 4 ceramics

Alright, here are some quick photos I took with my cell of the helmet. The helmet looks 100% fucked in these photos because I took them at the end of the day. I took progressive photos with another camera throughout the testing process and should have them all uploaded and shit by tomorrow.

Here is the back of the helmet which was shot several times rather close together with several calibers. My shitty handwriting on the helmet should let you know exactly what hit but feel free to ask questions.

>>33884396
>Yeah, but don't they "need" X-Ray'd every like 2 years? Or is that just people trying to fuck over the paranoid guys on here?
It depends if you are hitting the dirt all day. 2 years is a good replacement schedule if you are operating hard and going down on them. Keep in mind that these are issued to grunts who probably treat them way worse than you ever will. You will be fine.

This is what a head on impact with 00 buck from an 870 with 28" barrel at 5m looks like. Really nasty but no penetration, the backface deformation tells me that you would have a shitty day.

>>33884396
They do. /k/ likes to shit on steel plates but ones with heavy spall liner are perfectly fine and will never fracture, and are even more effective with a soft armor insert behind them. Literally the only downside is weight

Here you can see 124gr nato 9mm out of a G17 hitting the helmet square in the arc rail, very little BFD but your arc rail probably isnt going to have a good day

>>33884465
one of the swat members entering Pulse got a round to a lvl3 helmet and was ok

>>33884471
so would you say its worth the money?

>>33884488
No, the helmet was level 3a. The round hit his NVG shroud which helped stop the round.

And here is the nasty photo where you can see some nasty deformation from the buckshot and a penetration M193 5.56 (20" barrel 5m) that was pretty much expected. All of the other rounds had minimal BFD and were caught completely.
>>33884463
Manufacturer sent me one to shoot with real american guns with hopes proving that its not garbage
>>33884483
>How many rounds went straight through without stopping, and what were they?
Shot the helmet a good amount, no penetrations aside from the 5.56 we shot it just for lulz. Ill post a full list in a second.
>>33884465
The 12ga would probably fuck you up bad since it put such a huge dent. But keep in mind since I didnt have any human skulls who wanted to be put inside the helmet there was no rigid surface to abut the impact of the force so this is the most exaggerated impact scenario.
