Hey Poets, whats your favorite battle rattle?! What are your gear goals? Are you searching for the perfect backpack? What are you looking for in a plate carrier? What do you hate about your current setup? Whats the cheapest peace of kit that you are embarrassed for actually liking?
I have decided to take the MRDS plunge on my competition handgun. I attempted to run a Holosun 507K a year ago on my carry G48 but just wasn’t able to put in the training time needed. Now that I have the time and am jumping back into competitions, I’m running a 407C on my 19X. Looking forward to getting those dry fire reps in as the holsters arrive today!
Thats sounds like an awesome rig Ben! I am still stuck in the stone age with my iron sighted G17, looks like I tossed it in a blender 😂🤣 I am running a Streamlight TLR 7 in a TRex side car holster. I have one of the new Sidecars and an older model when the holster was made from two solid peaces. I do like the moldularity of the new Trex holster BUT I wish they still made their old model. I like to hear an audible "click", and the older version seems to use thicker plastics allowing for that "snap". Though this isn't by a large margin, I feel the older is slightly more rigid. I have a Safariland drop leg rig for overt use😃👍
I don't run an optic on my G19, but I did replace the stock sights with Tritium both front and rear. I like those a lot, especially once the light starts to dim. My rear sights didn't come with a set screw and I found that they walked around a bit, so I found and installed the proper set screw to keep them in formation.
I'm a big guy - let's say 80% muscle/20% dad bod lol - so finding a plate carrier and big enough plates isn't easy. I ordered XL stuff from Spartan and it looked like a toddler shirt on me. Now before you go off about armor isn't supposed to cover everything, I already understand it is only for vitals. The 10" width of the chest plate comes about 1-1/2 inches from my nipples and I'm pretty sure I have vitals there. Plus, with the size of my chest, the plates don't lie flat if I have the top of the plate lined up where it should be. I guess I'll just have to be the guy in the back who carries the .50 cal...
Hey Steven, I have heard of guys running smaller plates so they can be more dynamic but normally that means actually moving to small plates👀😂🤣 You must be a monster! I am glad your on our side👍😁👍I think they have larger SAPI plates out there, though off my head can't think of who. But SAPI is going to be more money guaranteed. I am running RMA lvl 4 plates in a AR500 Testudo with a North American Rescue IFAK and an extra TQ on the side. I have a Viktos ccw bag molled to the back that I stuffed with a Camelback into, and store a SnugPac poncho, and batteries for optics and weapon lights. I also have extra medical and a leatherman shears multitool in my range bin. Hope you find some bigass plates! Stay dangerous brother!👍😃🗽
