15% off OPT Tactical
15% off Armour Wear (independence17)
15% LAPG
Bump for following questions. Please guys I'd like to make a decision in time to catch the current sales.
Will this chest rig work with this carrier:
http://www.skdtac.com/HSGI-AO-Small-Chest-Rig-p/hsg.550.htm
http://www.optactical.com/vesyliweplca.html
How important is a rear drag handle?
How important is rear molle?
Also is this one the same as the other one I linked?
https://www.skdtac.com/Velocity-Systems-LWPC-Light-Weight-Plate-Carrier-p/3sk.127.htm
It doesn't look like it has the front velcro for interfacing with D3CR and similar chest rigs.
Also will 10x12' Multicurve 1" thick plates fit in a small/medium sapi carrier?
>>34433882
the chest rig should work yeah.
the plate carriers look the same just the OPtactical one seems to have a velcro front pad instead of the slick one from SKD
I need a simple chest rig for taking an intro carbine course lads
Not really interested in it being compatible with plates or whatever.
>>34434075
http://www.optactical.com/blfogetem4ch.html
Sordins or Comtac XPs?
>>34434130
what would be the equivalent belt? A simple belt for a carbine course and the like.
>>34434147
Comtac IIIs with gel cups
>>34434176
if you want simple probably best you just get belt pouches and a solid belt.

Velocity Systems LWPC in Small/Med sapi locally confirmed for fitting Armour Wear Multi Curve 10x12 Level IV plates.
Velocity Systems Lightweight Plate Carrier also locally confirmed for being discontinued.
So my line one battle belt rig has 4x rifle mags, 2x pistol mags, 2x 1L nalgene, IFAK, radio, dump pouch, and pistol on it.
What should go on a line two chest rig/carrier?
3 more rifle mags? Another Nalgene lel?
Ronin or tyr low pro belt?
Final decision time
>>34434920

>>34433882
With the rear drag handle and molle it is dependent on what you are doing with it. In a tactical scenario it would be good to have both. You could attach a water source, comms gear, TQ, etc. And the drag handle is good if you get shot or blown up and need to be pulled into cover in a hurry.
>>34436017
Out of stock for ever. Sorry but your kit will always be incomplete and shit.
>>34435385
If something requires two straps on your leg it is a meme. If it is a holster with an extended attachment to a belt with one strap angled around your leg for extra stability then it is decent. Anything else on your legs and you are just asking for an annoying ass time every time you run.
>>34435411
It would only be too much if when you or someone else opened it it spilled out, or couldn't find something they needed in it quick cause it is packed so tight. Ideally you should open it and have everything in its specific spot without having to dig through shit.
>>34434646

>>34437126
Are the pouches even accessible all bunched up and verticle like that?
>>34437088
Because I like my shotgun, and I can kiss 30yards with the buckshot easy, will be patterning at 40 and 50 next range visit for knowledge sake.

>>34437168
Can you reload your shotgun one handed?
>>34437126
Open up that sparrow kit friend.
>>34437179
Don't see why not?
Doesn't take two hands to push a shell into the tube.
>>34437149
Oh yes, the shells are held in a elastic bandoleer strap, the inner 6 are attached to the pouch itself, the outer 6 hang down from those and are normally held up by a snap at the top of the pouch. Then the whole lot is retained by the flaps. Once one pouch is empty it lays flat and doesn't interfere much with the next one.
>>34437182
Don't have a pic of that set but it's just a Bogota rake, serpentine rake, low J hook, high J hook, half diamond pick, Peterson Gem and Prybar and a trio of bottom of keyway tensioners in various widths and thicknesses and a Sparrows Mini-Jim That's about all you can fit in that pouch, it's very small.
>>34436848
I got a CVC to match that if you want to buy it off me
Any opinion on the PIG PC from SKDTAC? Should I snag it while it's on sale?
>>34437300
>That's about all you can fit in that pouch, it's very small.
Work at it a bit and youd be surprised what you can get in here.
On the table is in the back pocket.
It folds flush.
I still need to get a malice clip to put it on, the one it came with fits so fucking loose it's annoying.
What size did you use?
>>34437360
>>34437300
>I forgot include the fucking pic
>>34437360
I just used the one it came with, It is rather too long though. A 3" would probably work better.
>>34437382
Nice, I use a Sparrows Sherman case for my work kit, it has room for screwdriver, plug followers, assorted bypass tools, pin mat, tweezers, as well as picks, rakes and tensioners. Though since I work for an auto auction I use a long reach tool or jiggler keys more often than picks.
Forgive the shitty pic, took that with my old iPod a while back.
General noob here, and was looking for some pointers.
I bought an AR500 level III set of plates and banshee carrier as a starting point/loaner/kickaround/+1, but now I want to get something both more ergonomic and hopefully easier to put on.
Does anyone have suggestions? For reference I'm 5' 10" 42 inch chest (probably more like 44; been working out since I last measured), 33 inch waist. I'm not even sure what size plate I should be wearing, since I'm kinda on the short side, but have a big-ish chest.
Even a shove in the right direction would be appreciated.
>>34437553
You're in a good spot, a 10x12 plate or a large plate should probably fit you well. highly recommend cutting some cardboard and trying it out.
>>34433874
I've bought plates from skd last year. They wanted a picture of drivers license and ccw permit, a notarized form that I was the person that the ID was of.
20% off? Are tacos Gucci garbage or are they actually worth the coin?
Is this my excuse to go full taco?
I was thinking one double on the front and two singles under the arm.
Too few mags?
Not really sure how many I should run honestly.
Also not really sure where to run the pistol mags, I guess on the belt with the pistol itself.
>>34437553
do you want a slick plate carrier?
the size of plate you should be wearing its a plate that starts at the notch between your color bones and ends just below your solar plexus and is even with your nipples on either side.
>>34437382
>>34437510
i ordered a practice lock not too long ago and i even had some success picking regular ones.
while i think it's great fun, is there a point to picking a lock as opposed to just forcing it in an emergency situation?
>>34437553
What size were the AR500 plates? Are they from AR500 Armor or a different manufacturer?
>>34436650
Anybody?

Are the combs a meme? I was looking at getting them but couldn't justify it.
If you haven't tried Madbob picks, do yourself a favor and get a fucking set, they are beyond 10/10
I got both their first run sets and they are my go to picks every time.
All the picks in my molle pouch are theirs.
Their design Prince/Princess picks are fucking illegal I swear.

>>34436724
I want a rifle setup to go along with my shotugn setup.
I'll probably be getting a hydration pouch for the rifle setup to clear up more front room.
>>34437689
Depends. I've encountered Medeco locks in wooden doors with large panes of glass and I've encountered heavy steel gates secured with a Master lock No.3. In the former case there's absolutely no reason to bother with picking if your only goal is to get to the other side of the door quickly, In the latter case unless you have bolt cutters or breaching shells it's probably going to be easier to pick the lock.
Of course, outside of SHTF most people don't want to bash a door down just because they got locked out without their keys.
Need some new glove recommendations. Current ones are falling apart (in pic). I've used mechanix through in a month, magpul ones lasted a couple. This pair, specops shop combat glove lasted about a year. What's good right now?
>>34437642
>>34437732
Definitely get a hydration pouch so you can move that bottle pouch, having it on the front seems like it would be really uncomfortable and just get in the way. With that said you also have the kangaroo pouch that you can use for rifle mags on the front.
Tacos are good mag pouches, they've been around forever and are popular for a reason. That said there are other open top no bungee mag pouches, garand thumb did a comparison of some if you're into that. https://youtu.be/FdB-a0pcXac
For your pistol setup yeah definitely put them on your belt with your pistol, mags on weak side is most common.
>>34437805
Thanks for the info ill check out the vid, and I run slavshit so I can't use the kangaroo sadly.
>>34437602
It feels like the standard size plate is just a titch too big and the medium/size smaller (at least based on my shitty carbdoard cutouts) is rather too small. I guess I'd rather have a little bit too much coverage at too little, right?
My major issue is that there feels like there's a significant "gap" at the base of the carrier, and no matter how tight I make the shoulders it always seems to lay kinda low on me. Maybe I'm putting it on/fitting it incorrectly?
>>34437652
I basically want something that's easy on/off, can carry 4 pmags, and maybe a chest holster and an IFAK. I live in the Chicago area and things have been getting dicier and dicier as of late; and having a bit of extra peace of mind, in the car and at home, that I can chuck on, will likely help (and looking tacticool is a plus, of course).
I already plan on getting some kevlar, this is more of a "oh shit here are the riots" type of thing.
>>34437698
AR500 is the mfr, whatever the size that comes with their "Banshee" kit.
>>34437787
the pig fdt gloves are pretty popular, and they make fr ones
>>34437753
realistically speaking, how much time does it make for an experienced person to open a lock he's unfamiliar with?
i guess my perception's skewed because i've literally just started and the first non-practice lock took me almost half an hour to open
>>34437715
Combs are great on common 4 and 5 pin locks, even faster than a Bogota. They're especially handy when you get some old Master lock that's so full of rust, hardened grease and cobwebs that you can't get a feel for it.
>Madbob picks
I'll give them a look.
>You watch Bosnianbill aka lockpicking Hickok?
Oh yes.

How to I into a battle belt holster
Is QLS meme? Crye clip?
Should I put an x300 on this? Have an XC1 on my G20 I love.
Any word on how meme the masterfire holsters are? They don't look very durable
>>34437856
From what I've experienced, minutes to seconds depending on how hard the lock is and pure luck. I've picked a lock with about a minute of fiddling, but it only had five pins, but have cursed for a few minutes at a similar lock that had a slightly more difficult pin configuration (first two pins down the barrel were very low and kept wanting to be jostled).
Stress will fuck you up, too.
>>34437787
outdoor research ironsights or overlords
>>34437851
have you thought about running a slick plate carrier and a chest rig? the haley chest rigs hold 4 mags, medical, and they have holsters for them to hold a pistol like a glock 19.
if you have a slick carrier you can just clip it right in and have that be ready to roll and you also have a chest rig if you dont want to wear armor.
>>34437856
Varies wildly, every lock is a bit different but the most common locks in the US, Kwikset, Master lock, Schlage and their Chinese knocks-off can typically be raked, bumped or bypassed in less than a minute. Sometimes you'll get one that for whatever reason will resist one method of attack, but fall easily to another and sometimes you'll get one that won't open for anything because fuck you. But most of the time it just takes experience, a plan of attack and an assortment of tools and you can get into most places within a few minutes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2r07NN21vM
One time at work I spent several hours trying to rake, pick and bypass an American Lock 3260 with a Best Icore on an old Verizon truck and finally had to swallow my pride and drill the sonofabitch. Which took all of 10 seconds.
>>34436848
Something like this
>>34437954
I'll have to check it out. Like I said, I'm a total noob on this stuff, so any suggestions are appreciated; it's a shame I don't have a way to try this stuff on before buying it sight un-seen.
>>34437787
is that you GT?
Anyways I like my Outdoor Research Overlords. Not hard knuckle but they're FR and extremely durable. The stitching is kevlar so the gloves are almost impossible to kill.
They're not as dextrous as some of the gloves like PIGs but they're very nice for any task where you actually need to keep your hands protected for real.

Bump for what pouches do I get for my HSGI AO chest rig? 8 column chest rig that I'll throw over a slick carrier eventually as line two. Already have line one battle belt rig with 4x rifle mags, 2x pistol mags, 2x 1L Nalgene, radio, dump pouch, IFAK, and pistol.
I was thinking 3x rifle mag pouch and maybe another Nalgene?

My PC holds 6 rifle and 3 pistol, I have a Spectre chest rig that holds 6 rifle and while it could take more mag pouches I don't normally have any on it. A RACK that holds 8 rifle and 3 pistol. Then there's 2 pistol on the woodland belt or 4 on the black duty belt.

Do you find the baofang to be a pain in the ass to use that far back?
>>34441293
I'll be honest I've never used it from the pouch.
What I can say is that the MSW/Tactical Tailor Baofeng pouch that I'm using for it has been pretty disappointing though. While the radio doesn't fall out entirely, the pouch itself is a clamshell design and outer half of the shell that actually houses the radio has slipped sideways on multiple occasions while running or drilling. I put it back into place then retighten it before the radio actually falls out, but the bottom line is that it needs some velcro or something. Maybe an extended power knob will keep it from moving around.
I'm not too worried about the radio being back there because chances are if I am ever using it, I won't be needed to change the channels in a hurry. Where it is I can twist sideways and see the display however if need be.

I think so. Easier to get in, more flexible, lighter.

No problems except for a small hole from when someone thought it was a good idea to use firecrackers to simulate battlefield distractions during drills.
Ordered an HSGI AO chest rig to eventually go on top of a carrier.
>>34441380
I regret buying the pouch as well, but you just now motivated me to dig my Baofeng out of the closet and try to find a fix. The Baofeng power knob is a simple push/pull on/off D-Shaft electronics knob. Shaft diameter appears to be 4mm, but I don't have my calipers at home, they're at work.
I imagine for a dollar or two you could get an extended taller knob from Mouser or Digikey that would help to trap the MSW/Tactical Tailor retention cord in between the antenna and the taller power knob, fixing the side to side movement issue.
Or sew some velcro on there. It is also bizarre how overbuilt and thick the "body side" of the clamshell is. Weird pouch.

Not gonna lie, I do kind of miss the integrated knee pad pockets on the ACU's and wish they would have kept them on OCP's. I've always hated wearing knee pads and I would trim down and double up the inserts on ACU's and they worked just fine. I honestly think I'm one of the few people who actually ever used those things lol.

>>34447542
Retention is very good. I've only handled A2s a few times but it sure does lock on well. Even when the clip isn't actually clipped it has a bit of passive retention, buying your extra seconds before it straight falls out. Very good value in that it isn't expensive and it will continue to work with your Glock as your change out lights, barrels, sights, optics, and whatnot.
The only real downside is that the draw isn't as fast as a strapless kydex, but it is also 1/4 the cost, has better retention, and is more "modular" in a sense.

>On top of that, don't keep your nalgene bottle on the front. Try putting it on your cummerbund and putting the TQ and shears up front for better clearance. And water bladders are always a necessity. You're going to suck in a ton of water actually doing anything while wearing a plate carrier. 2-3L with the nalgene bottle as a secondary source of hyrdration or for MRE drinks/packets/etc.

None of it because it's in MTP
>>34451263
Have an opinion on this? Flecktarn is perfect for where I live, so an armor carrier/vest in it would be ideal. And it being quick release is good, because I live near deep water. https://www.hqg.de/hqg/en/shop/Tactical-Gear/Categories/Armor-Carriers/P6-Vests/P6+Universal+Vest+HL+5-farb+Flecktarn/?card=13747

>>34450777
Not him, but literally any. The more premium ones are only useful if you're doing hardcore work with them and expect them to get abused. You can easily get mil surplus camelbak and bladder for ~$30 and it'll have shoulder straps to wear over your gear or without gear, as well as molle attachments If you want to direct attach it to your kit.
Its what I've used and its lasted deployments and all sorts of training.

Absolutely not.
>>34455461

that meme is so dumb. if it's a good pattern it already does that by itself. no need to be a dirty camo mixer.
Is there a way I can have cumberbunds that buckle but still keep my molle?
>>34455558
yes, tubes

As a private? I think you mean you enlisted national guard. No way you were ever active.

Don't worry, you'll get cool guy shit that matches when you deploy. National guard deploys a surprising amount depending on your unit.
>>34450935
>>34455820
>>34455847
I'd like to carry 2L/70oz personally, anyone have any experience with the 70oz Tyr bladder pouch on a Mayflower APC or similar carrier? The specs say height is 14" so I'm concerned it will hang over the plate bag slightly.
Other options are PIG 2L, Emdom Vehicle Hydration, and First Spear. I'm leaning towards the First Spear because price is comparable to the PIG and the Emdom is way more. I'd like to know how the Tyr fits though because it is the least expensive and IMO it looks the best.

There is also the Tactical Tailor Joey, but while I've got a decent amount of TT stuff with more on the way, they're not the most primo gear manufacturer. The stuff is good to go though.
Can I pick your guys' brains on something else? I'm wondering how one might make the Enola Gaye EG18X smoke grenades a little more durable and weather proof. Maybe an epoxy dip coating? Can anyone recommend anything?
Also level IV multi curve ceramics at 7lbs per plate, or level III+, M193, M855, M80, and mild steel core 7.62x39 rated multi curve ceramic/dyneema hybrid at 4lbs per plate?
Also what other carriers are out there like the Velocity Systems LWPC?
Front swift clips, side molle, and front velcro are a must. Bonus for rear molle, lightweight, and drag handle.
Also SKD tactical extended their sale for another day. Get the 20% while you can, even though they're bootlickers.
>>34456633
National Guard deploys more than the regular Army.

Would i be a ball to nose faggot if i just bought OD pouches for this fucking flc? Everything i see is like multicam or digital

1. Wearing that flc a bit too tight big boy
2a. UCP blows and other camo flcs are cheap
2b. I have OD pouches on a woodland flc and it looks good
3. odd clip location, and upside down
>>34456905
Yeah i know its high you genius, my 5'6 father gave it to me. 2a again it was free , 2b I dont think it would clash too hard if all the pouches were the same color and design. As for the clip hes a Civil Affairs O-3 and I stopped asking 'why is this' style questions years ago. I want to keep it simple and have all my ammunition on the front in those 3 across 2 deep mag pouches whos name escapes me at the moment. They usually have velcro flaps or bungee cords

im too lazy to post a pic but I do have one. I am not impressed by the quality of the material and the stitching. I purchased one when they were on fleebay for 200 bucks and it was the freshest meme. the only thing i used it for was larping in front of a mirror and the stitching is already fraying. I have also purchased some other new lbt products and the quality was not there for the price.

I got the warrior PC and some Spartan AR550 steel plates with the under coating. 3 TACOs for the front with triple layers for pistol and light. Rip away IFAK and some POS condor pistol holster that I am actively seeking to replace.
