Body armor

[Ruger_Ronin]

Or even sitting in a chair. I gave up doubles after a class getting into and out of a vehicle with kit on. Then feeling ridiculous trying to do any kind of transitional movements. Egress and escape are my motivation and intention with my prep 60 rounds on my carrier will cover just about any scenario short of Mogadishu.

The Admin light is the most handy thing I've got on my carrier now. I can light up an entire scene for first aid without using hands or mouth to hold a light.

Very nice looking rig Gg. I agree, ice gone from doubles up front to the admin insert to slim it down some. Well see where the smaller stuff ends up after field testing.

Definitely going to get one of those lights. Thanks for sharing.

The light mount is perfectly sized to fit into molle web. No play in it at all. I colored mine in with a sharpie

Picked one of those up yesterday while at HD with some lithium batteries for it as well. Really nice, thanks again.

just picked up an hrt plate carrier and rma level 3+ plates. Very happy with the quality of both.carrier is really minimalist and the plates are super light compared to others ive seen. Now just waiting on my blue alpha belt

So yesterday I made a I'll say big purchase I got a level IV plate from ar500 they are having a sale and I decided to jump on it, yes it's just the one plate but it's a start I'm very excited, of course I'll need another plate, trauma pads and a vest but in time, and I'm sure I'll get good or bad comments
dont break my balls please,

I’ve been waiting on my testudo with 3+ since December 12...

I’ve been waiting on my testudo with 3+ since December 12...

Due date is passed and now I'm told mid January, I was told materials are hard to find, this concerns me on future orders considering the way of the world now,

Yeah, so my original order was in November. My 4 week time was in December. Looking more like 12 week lead time.

Do they send out updates or you called

My last update was middle December. I have not bothered them as if yet but I’m getting extremely impatient. I’m guessing the more I call or email the longer it will take. Or they will push my order back on the line a bit more..?

I was Dec 22, but nothing has shipped.

If they would just send me my battle belt so I can wear it around at my militia meetings...

I'm waiting for my rig also, and the times that you listed are almost identical to mine. I've received (2) emails basically saying "sorry, and thanks for your patience".
My patience is wearing thin !

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Give em a break. I'm sure they are doing their best to keep up with elevated demand. Lead times for products that are out the door before they are in is sketchy at best. Then there's inflated delivery times for ALL carriers.

And pics when it all comes in!

Why give them a break? They don't even know I'm bitchin'

Besides I would have made $2.50 in interest on my money they have

Only got one patience email.

If they knew you carried a 500. you'd probably get more respect

Stellar idea ! I shall send them a photo...me carrying the 500, with a stern look on my face.

I figure when it comes it comes in...

Personally I went with the VISM III+ , 2 of them weigh what one AR500 plate does, but they are thicker and many carriers would not or had to smash it in so they would fit. Ended up with the 5.11 tactec 56100 carrier and it is one fine piece of gear!

It's gonna come in one day after the riots happen that I bought it for!

I purchased on the thought that one these upcoming years they will ban personal purchase of body armor.
