      A heavy steel rig is OK if you only have to wear the stuff while you're, say, serving a warrant or some other limited time situation. They are no good to wear all day every day.

    I got 4 carriers, cause there are 3 adults in my house, and i got a lighter more expensive one incase were on foot, and i also dont wanna not be able to have one. And i can say for sure! He is right! Train in your carrier, its not as easy to move, they heavy,(cheap ones atleast) they restrict movement, and if its your first time using it you gonna struggle. Your gonna sweat. Your gonna ache. Your gonna need to know how it feels, and for the love of god, you need to know if its fot correct, if you havent run in it you dont know how its gonna work. Mine was tight to stand in. Once i ran it was bouncing cause it wasnt tight enough, same with belt and holster, test your kit. And know your system!!!

      I remember setting up carrier and test fitting it, loaded with mags in the placard, quickly realized the added weight on the front of my body added to the shift of strain on my lower back, especially when presenting a rifle. Realized working out to balance the weight shift is a necessity.

    Yes, if you can afford it, but then you start down the step rabbit hole, of PC, armor, pouches, items to put in those pouches, medical, radio, helmet, light, NVG's, counterweight/battery, ears for helmet & comms. I'd say comms depending on situation. Maybe a cellphone will work/ maybe it won't. Ham radios are an option. You turn around and have spent 10-20K depending on quality of items obtained.
