something like federal HST or speer gold dot that expands dramatically without fragmenting too much is what you want, because handgun rounds don't travel fast enough to cavitate like rifle rounds

Interesting

very important read

I have old RIP ammo that was a gift

I would've figured multiple wound channels would mean more chances to cut arteries

everyone in the server needs to read this article

the article is put together by people with fancy titles such as *doctor* and extremely informative on ammunition

I’m going to concealed carry an A10 Warthog since I can’t have a .50

Denim test alone is not good use the FBI test

CCW a snubnose .500 S&W

A YTer called 1shot did a lot of videos on defense ammo educate yourselves and lucky gunner has a bunch of ballistics tests on ammo but just the denim test not FBI

Anyone recommend any plate carrier brands or specific carriers?

Depends on your budget/mission. If budget isn't an issue, well anything Crye or Spiritus systems. If you are on the budget side, some Condors are okay, just know that their stitching sometimes has fail points. But with a $5 sewing kit you can reinforce said areas.

Of course, you get what you pay for, but depending on what you need, there are happy mediums.

Max I can do rn is about 150

I had to sew my condor and Rothco stuff over and over. My slickster will be here tomorrow

Get a slickster. They're like $160 shipped

I'm gonna look them up! Thanks

Yeah, slicksters from what I heard are good, overall they're good. But sometimes the QC for their fits might be a little off?

In all honesty though, I might get one myself if I don't get a LV119

Is it just a plate carrier with no Molle design? And you get add-ons to it?

I want one that has it on both sides, and overall cost about 150
A bit over is fine, under us even better

Shellback Tactical has the Patriot plate carrier, as well as the Skirmish.

They’ve got MOLLE on each side, the front, and back.

Ahh, you want like a full on normal PC

Ummm, lemme check to see what I can find in your budget, roughly.

I was about to recommend the Shellback Banshee, then I remember it's 250 haha

I’m looking at the Skirmish.

What yall thunk? I looked at the patriot but didn't have multicam, here it can be very green or very dry

I'd say any browns or darker greens can work, because they're both natural colors. Just don't do black or grey.

Go to the Shellback website and look at them. More pictures.

I think i found a winner

That Gucci hanger tho

Doesn't seem like a bad deal in all honesty. If it fits what you need it to do.
