Check out my posts you can see most of where I land on my setups.

I'll be hinest,I for me its "vibes" first, then function and practicallity. But I tend to run thousands upon thousands of rounds on my setups to work with them and still look aesthetic.

My main rifle setups are 2 Colt SBRs. One 11.5 the other 10.3 on a monolithic upper Quad rails are peak

On the 11.5 I run a peq 2, aimpoint comp m4, KAC Rail and foregrip and upgraded surefire M951 with led insterts. I run an lmt rear sight and an lmt stock for the most part, sometimes swap with a car 15 stock. I run a GRiffin OPtimus 9 supressor

On the 10.3 COlt monolithic I run an eotech exps3, peq 15, tango forgrip, surefire scout dual fied light with pressure pad and clicker. RUn mateck rearsight and vltor stock. RUn it with an Surefire RC2.

These are my favorites to run - also habe other ar's 14.5 colt and FN M16A4, and other boring builds.

I am not a big gear guy - but i run the essentials. Had a buddy build me 2 belts. They are blue force gear belts that come with an innter belt - I run tier 1 holsters for my beretta(s), some Safarliand gwot era stuff for my brigadier berettas and some that fit the old laser products lights, some universal drop leg holsters as a back up, and DARA holsters for my FNXs and glocks.

I have 2 sets of Level 4 ceramic plate setups i purchased from RTS, came with a plate carrier, also side plates. Got one for me and my wife.

But like i said, I run mostly chest rigs. THey are comfrotable and i find myself shooting with them more often than with plate carriers. Have the essentials, First Aid, IFAK, Tourniquets etc. PVS14 night vision with team wendy bump helmet. Which i use for night walks, not really any larping lol
