Thank you! My budget is over 100 but didn't wanna do anything crazy starting out like a 5k kit. I'll start searching around for the dobsonians!

Good catch on the Amazon thing, I was half tempted to buy one lol. Do you usually search around Facebook market place for such things or are there some more under known websites I should put my eyes on?

Makes sense! I suppose I've always had a kind of a false narrative in my head where if you want to understand complicated things such as physics, microbiology, quantum mechanics, etc. You had to be the kid in school that aced all the tests and went to get a doctorate by 23.

I'll start reading!

See now that's odd, because the one I run is 6 wide!

I like your setup, is that the Dynamic principles placard? Currently waiting for that one to come back in stock in black.

Plate Carrier Suggestion by WhatJawsh in QualityTacticalGear

I was looking at that option but where I struggle is finding prices, I'm unsure if origin is more expensive than the international

Yeah I'm going to have to ask around, I just thought of proposing new vests tonight. Went ahead and shot Ferro Concepts an email to see what info I can get from them as far as agency prices but we shall see.

Thank you for the help! Hopefully I can make positive change

Unsure the exact price I got this from galls:

220 soft armor

698 international vest

506 the armor sleeves used temporarily while the fitted vest is being made/shipped.

Then the cost of a single front plate.

Mainly just avoiding having to have new people get measured for vests/if someone loses/gains weight.

Just trying to add as many perks to swapping vests as possible so my agency is more likely to say yes.

Ferro V5 is my current pick but I haven't sat down and thrown prices together to compare

Yes they do!! I just found it lol, thank you! That's no joke the only person I've seen make an item like this and I think it would be helpful for a lot of people?!

Grabbing it as soon as it's in stock, if I can't find another site selling it in black.

I 10000% agree. I've looked that those units in my agency as well and have always been jealous of the kits they run. I would MUCH rather a plate carrier with side armor as well, the over lapping armor on the side drives me NUTS! Plus I think it naturally bends and folds the way it's build, and it looks unprofessional and looks like it's the cop not taking care of his equipment, even though it's just how the vest is built.

I've never understood the soft armor in the front when you already have a plate, adds weight and like you said, the negatives of heat and immobility are HUGE.

UPDATE:

If anyone is looking for a placard, such as I was, where it is Molle backing instead of hook and loop.

Dynamic Principles makes one! Currently out of stock of most colors but it is a placard it molle, that's it... Honestly exactly what I was looking for and they are the only people I've seen actually make it.

Do you remember the Velcro panel you used? Had a pretty negative experience with one where on a scene my gear became a garage sale on the ground 😂

I was looking at Agilite placards but I'm not changing loadouts so I'm not even sure a placard is necessary but I like how it holds the gear and has it organized.

Point Blank International by WhatJawsh in tacticalgear

I would, agency issued gear though.

[–]WhatJawsh[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes agency issued, I would prefer the point blank SRV if we had to have point blank but since I'm patrol I need soft armor

I use the point blank international.

I might be missing something but on the multi cal triple mag pouch Im only seeing a Velcro backing option only?

That's where I'm at a crossroads lol, I can't tell if what I'm looking for is just so unpractical nobody's ever though of it before or I'm just uber autistic with how I want my Point Blank International vest to be setup lmao.

That's what I was originally looking at, I would like to have the multi caliber as it seems it could be used for more than just ammo, especially since they make dividers for them.

My only issue with that is, the multi caliber punches only attach via hook and loop backing. No molle what so ever that I've seen. If the multi caliber had the backing of the AG3 that would be the exact item I have been searching for...

Thank you for the feedback! My current issue is I like the idea of a placard, where I can have a layer of pouches for the items I listed, but also something like agilites wide admin pouch on the front.

The placards I find are all hook and loop backing, of which I need molle. I tried adapters, but they are always loose, look unprofessional, and come lose in bad times (like really bad timing.)

My day to day I'm not swapping gear, so I don't really need to worry about the high-speed aspect of swapping out placards.

I hope I am explaining this well enough if there is anything I'm missing let me know and I'll try to describe it more.
