Also just picked up this Glock 19 yesterday. I've got a Raven Vanguard 2 for it, probably picking up a CompTac Minotaur, but for OWB I'm thinking about going Raven+light.
I just can't decide between the XC1 or X300.

>>30546061
why do you need level 3 retention for IPSC?
>>30546081
>don't wanna get punkd at ipsc
also canadian and everybody is a little twitchy about guns up here, especially at competitions. if your gun comes out of your holster anywhere except on the course or at the prep table you get sent home immediately
>>30546131
Wait, people use level 3 retention for competition up there? That's fucking weird. Most USPSA holsters are glorified gun buckets.
>>30546164
ive seen a lot of people with button holsters and some with kydex buckets
but as a young guy you can get profiled as a cowboy; also special snowflake swag is fun to have. always nice to see the look on a fudd's face when you can draw from a level 3 just as fast as they can draw from a level 1

Big thanks to everyone who suggested AWS OCPC. Ordered mine and asked if they could get it to me before the weekend when I leave country; they literally made me a medium carrier while they were in the middle of a production run of a different size, had one of their gives drive it from the workshop to the shipping company and get it to me today. Sure I paid for some quicker shipping but still didn't spend as much as I intended for the same shit.
Product and stitching looks good for the short time I've had it. Thanks for the recommendation /k/omrades

>>30545047
Looking to get some plates, what are some good brands to look at?
Single curve vs Multicurve?
Steel vs Ceramics?
>>30549872
There are a number of custom kydex guys who can do custom prints. That particular one is from Armiger Solutions.
>>30549885
Not steel. Single curve is adequate, multicurve is a bonus but will bring costs up.
Any advice on a nice minimalistic ak chest rig?
>>30549911
Are ceramics fragile? Or is that just bs?
What's the benefit of multicurve?
>>30549898

>>30549998
Nevermind found my answer to the curves.
>>30549998
ceramics are not as fragile as internet tards make them seem. Remember that private snuffy in the muhreens gets issued ceramics, and he can fucking break anything.

>>30550049
We used ceramic plates in the Navy and the things got horribly abused. Like stuffed in a bag of random stuff, dragged around and ratchet-strapped to the deck of the torpedo room. They got dropped, bumped into stuff, stored badly and we had them for years before we replaced them with new ones because thats how the budget works and we never broke any of them.
You need to do something pretty ridiculous to a plate to actually crack it.

>Sig SP2022 in Alice belt
Yes! I've been trying to figure out which fucking Bianchi holster I need for the SP2022, but have never actually been able to find out, not even on their own damn site.
Which holster is that, and is it as well made as the M-12 holsters? Also, is that a matching mag pouch next to the holster?
If you don't mind, would you mind just listing off what you have there, as far as the ALICE belt?
>>30550440
Not him, bit it's the Bianchi commercial version of the M12. Honestly, for a full size pistol, the M12 is good enough, the thumb snap really helps out when you don't want to deal with the flap.
$30 for a NOS surplus made by Weckworth or Cathay isn't bad for a beater holster
>>30550567
You must not be aware that the M-12 ONLY fits the M9/92SF. The SP2022 literally WILL NOT fit in an M-12, the slide and rest of the gun is just too thick. I know this much from experience. That's I'm asking WHICH Bianchi holster it is; the UM-84, the UM-92, etc. I need to know which model the SP2022 fits in.
>>30550203
Can you call her back and see when they're going to actually make mine?
>>30550440
It's the UM92, exact same thing as an M-12 but with a trigger shield for extra retention and available in multiple sizes. The double Mag pouch is the Bianchi M1025, the single is the USGI alice pouch. The SP2022 will fit in an M12, you just have to shove it in there and leave it sit for a few days until the foam conforms to the shape of the pistol. After it's broken-in it fits quite nicely.
>>30551209
>SP2022 fits in the M12
No shit? I tried to fit it with an M12 at my local surplus store, and that's when I found out it wouldn't fit. But you say you can just cram it in and after a few days it functions fine? Is that your SP2022 in the M12?
If I remember right they're going for like $35ish at my local store, is that a decent price for something that needs to be really broken in, or would you recommend just putting the money down for a UM92?
>>30551323
Yes, M12's are made with closed cell foam, some come with a little plastic form that vaguely replicates the shape of an M9 but with use they'll break in to fit most pistols. It should also be mentioned that M12's are made by a bunch of different manufacturers so there's bound to be some variation in size. The M12 on the M13 harness in the last picture is slightly larger and looser than the M12 that the SP2022 is in. It was made by Hill Country Leather and also had the plastic form when I got it.

>>30546131
that's true in American competition too. dropping a loaded gun or touching your gun after it's knocked loose are immediate DQ's, though that doesn't mean you're sent home - you can stay and help prep and score... you just can't shoot. people still have CRSpeed and DAA and Limcats and Manny Bragg holsters anyway.

Is this a bad idea? I own my car, I have decent credit, work is steady, I can easily make the payments and have plenty left over as a safety net. Normally I'd buy bits and pieces each month and such but I fear if I do that for this then it will be too late by the time I have it all.

>>30545830

>>30558460
no don't do that, because you probably don't know exactly what you want in each item and you'll end up with gear you don't want later if you buy it all in a rush.
don't worry about the inane fear mongering, be sure of what you actually need and choose your purchases carefully.

>>30558460

Lel, not to rag on you too, but I imagine if you had magazines in those pouches they'd make you chicken wing
>>30558957
fight light is designed to be lightweight, which it is, but it wears out like 3x as fast as normal stuff. I had the fight light belt and some of their pouches. you know that really thin nylon they use to cover up soft armor inserts? they put that stuff behind the cordura nylon and they use cheap velcro. doesn't last for shit and nobody has time for that.
and you have an admin pouch in your list, for starters. do you even have plates?
>>30559020

>and you have an admin pouch in your list, for starters. do you even have plates?
What's wrong with an admin pouch, isn't it just a place to stick maps and shit you don't need right fucking away but would be annoying to dig in a pack for? I was going to get plates alongside all of that, but I need to look more into what size I need and what brands are good.

Then what should I get? I had originally narrowed it down to either a Condor MOPC or EXO, but I'm open to suggestions. This will probably only be worn during classes/competition and if shit ever pops off. Like I said, I'm new to PCs and could use direction from guys that have them.
>>30559085
>It looks goofy for starters
>implying look matter more than results
Chicken wing is one of the best offhand stances for rifle caliber shooting. The only reason we stopped using it in the military is because it's a side-face stance so it makes body armor pointless.

I have some TT light stuff and i prefer it lighter. But the pouches I have are the dump pouch and a flash bang pouch (Enola gay) for a battle belt. They use buckles instead of the Velcro so it's not as hard on the material. I use kydex for the holster and mag pouches. Wouldn't recommend the light mag pouches.

>>30560415
I always take a strobe out with me innawoods just in case. The MS2000 has a white light that's also bright as fuck, so more than just IR can pick you up.

Needs an alice belt, holster, triple mag pouch, canteen, butt pack and IFAK.

Comfy edition.

What dis chestrig?
>>30561452
Every time, never fails. It was made by Specter but I don't think they make it anymore.
>>30561573
I didn't realize it had been posted a lot, I've been away. The ALICE webbing makes it look classy.
>>30561581
Well it's not like I post it every day, but every time I do someone asks what it is. I bought it 10 or so years ago at a gunshow. It'll take Alice or Molle pouches and holds 6 AR mags or 3 AK mags.
>>30548302
He didn't. He's just imagining how assblasted people would get if it ends up being true.

I'm Canadian and let me tell you, even we have problems exporting from the USA due to ITAR. At least I have the option to just walk it back into Canada since our customs just want us to pay sales tax, but if I ever got caught by US customs, I could end up in jail. Look and see if there are any British companies that sell plates to civilians.
tl;dr: fuck ITAR.
Hi boys. Been carrying my P320 carry 9mm for a few months now. Been using a Bravo Concealment DOS holster. I could not use the clips that came with it, so I bought soft loops for it. I also switched to only one loop, and it rides nice and deep. I carry at the 12 oclock.
While it sounds awfully painful, it is the only way I can appendix carry comfortably. I can sit, squat, drive, walk and remain fairly concealed with minimal printing. I'm pretty fit, so I don't have any fat to absorb the print of the gun. Anyway, will share some pics.. It's super comfy for me, and I recommend everyone experiment. I've also done a lot of range time with this, and have found it to be extremely comfortable as far as appenix draw goes.
>>30562177
If I shift it to the right or left it just digs into me. So I did some research and many guys who have a similar build to me do 12 oclock. I recommend it fully.
>>30562187
>>30562197
>>30562187
>>30562177
Only issue I've had is that the back on metal buttons on pants has worn some finish off the slide of my pistol... but if that's the cost of comfortable carry, I'm fine with it.
>>30559599
Safariland is maybe more proven. I've heard G-code is fine, although I personally don't like their designs as much.
serious question:
why the fuck do you guys buy plates/carriers?
I cannot think of a reason
>>30562655
Same reason airsofters buy a bunch of shit they don't need: to play pretend.
Opinions on these for innawoods pants.

>inb4 hipster shit
>>30562685
why would you spend $100 on a pair of innawoods pants
buy some surplus BDU trousers
>>30545047
What is a good edc cobra buckle belt for under 70?
>>30562702
why do you want a cobra buckle? that shit is such a pain in the ass to put on in the morning
>>30562700
buy once cry once kind of mind set.
Also I would use them for all kinds of innawood stuff, from hiking and alpine climbing to innarange and innacarbinecourse.
>>30562760
What would be best? New to edc. I'd like it to be pretty rugged.
>>30562769
Try something like a Wilderness tactical belt. I actually like the Frequent Flyer but it's not quite as stiff. None of the buckles are weak or anything, it's just that cobra buckles are meant for mountaineering and rotary wing retention stuff, you don't need that for EDC.
>>30562790
Thanks, i'll check em out.
>>30562761
Once you actually go innawoods, you will find out how easy all you're nice expensive shit will get mangled and torn. Then you'll wish you spent that money on jeans or surplus trousers and needles+threads?
>>30562655
Because I use it at work on occasion, the issued shit's garbage.
>>30562988
OK fair enough, but if you're not active duty/LEO why would you buy that shit?
I'm not saying you shouldn't have it because you don't
>need
it, but why would anyone drop that kind of money on armor when it could be spent on ammo/range time/instruction?
>>30563106
Have not need, need not have.
>>30559421
floral shirts for the win
>>30563106
no amount of range time will stop a bullet from killing your ass. So buy some reasonably nice plates (a set will run you less than a fucking glock) and then go train with your CCW or whatever. This is like telling people they shouldn't buy another pistol when they already have a carry gun that's fine.
>>30545047
>before the national gun control acts go into effect
What?
>>30563106
you're assuming that it's either/or. plus I don't live my life thinking "that $100 I'm spending on food could've bought me ammo" because nothing ever gets finished that way.
Well, my plate carrier finally fell apart and I am in need of a new one. Last one held:
3x TACO Covered X2R Mag pouches on front
2x TACO X2RP Mag poches on left side
1x 4x4 Medical pouch with HSG bleeder pouch on top of that on the right side
>Pic not related
>no amount of range time will stop a bullet from killing your ass
Who's shooting at me? inb4 SHTF
if you're getting into firefights regularly enough to justify buying plates and a carrier over beans and toilet paper you're doing something wrong
>>30563189
food is a necessity, I cut back on eating out to save money for hobbies. who here (barring mil/LEO) has actually been shot at while wearing their gear?
>>30563184
hillary joke (or maybe not)
>>30563106
>if you're not active duty/LEO
My guess is to avoid being centerpunched by those who are.
>>30563152
The most unassuming tactical wear.
>>30563217
>implying i'm starving myself to buy gear
nah bruh. the gains come first.
>>30563168
You assume that you'll ever actually be shot at, and that you'll have your armor around for that occasion. That's the problem. I can carry a gun 90% of the time I leave the house, and resolve conflicts with it even if I'm not shot at. A plate carrier isn't going to be carried on your person often, and will only help in a conflict where you're being shot anyway. It's basically just for the idea of some SHTF/WORL/Race war/extreme home invasion/flavor of the month.
>>30563217
Not personally, but a lot of hunters by me have been shot at. Some people are glove on nose retarded and send lead at fellow hunters without realizing it. A few wear PCs ubder their vests. Cut slits in their saftey vests to grab mags and they are golden.
>>30563257
Again, I believe strongly in training with CCW. If anything gear is last priority to me. Fitness, then pistol, then combatives/H2H, then long-gun/gearfag shit. Gear is not as expensive as people make it sound, and someone who buys a tenth pistol exclusively for range use is not any different from someone who is buying plates.
It's whatever for reservists buying gear.
I once sold all my gear I accumulated over my service in the muhreens to some reservist middle-aged grunt wannabe for 1500 and I got all that shit at used milsurp stores for around 600 or less.
Fucking dumb reservists kek.
>>30563275
It's ultimately your own money, my point is just that it depends on how likely you perceive the threat to be. For someone who doesn't see themselves being shot at in the future it's just something to gather dust, whereas that tenth range toy will get even a little bit of use. I also think it's fair to say that the fun of collecting and setting up gear is value on its own for some plate buyers.
>>30562655
Good to have for home defense, also good for big range events where there's a lot of noobs with shitty muzzle discipline.
>>30563576
>Good to have for home defense
do you wear your gear while sleeping?
>>30561443
Nice legfat joules.
>>30563655
You don't?
>>30563655
Do you not?
Just got my Mayflower APC in the mail. Independence Day sale from SKD. Pretty neat. Too bad the kangaroo pouch won't fit 3 AK mags. I'll have to use a single mag shingle.

>You guys are great. I love seeing old school LBE gear.
>>30563755
Rahhhh another motivator that supports the ak platform, also very good taste in mags friend.
>>30563755
>>30563790
How are those mags? They're the ones from CDNN right?
I'm a faggit
>>30563790
>>30563805
These are actually Tapco Fakelites. They work and I haven't broken them yet. I just do some light running and gunning but they work for me.
>>30563655
Of course, you need to step up your game brah.
I found a surplus interceptor vest for $70, is this a good deal? I cant find anything better for lower.
>>30551620
Why doesn't this have a forward assist and a dust cover?
>>30562873
also, the polycotton material used in ripstop pants dry rather quickly, bet one can buy nice pants for like 20-30 dolars
>>30563655
Home defense isn't just waking up to a loud bump in the night, it's also battering down when niggers start rioting a few blocks over.

>doesn't already

you'll rapidly learn that fagtical gear is garbage for hiking, which is 9/10ths of going out into the woods to do quasi illegal things with your guns. I'm in florida and just wear jeans bloused into waterproof wellingtons and long sleeve fishing shirts with at most a vest style chest rig or camelbak.
>>30564598
Does it have all the soft armor?
