True story! I got a nasty chunk ripped out of me overseas when me and my buddy got tangled up. I think it was one of those fancy 'S' clips people hang their gloves on. Didn't affect the mission, but I got nasty roadside stitches from a (drunk?) Australian guy south of Kabul.
If anything switch your shoulder strap buckle to the other side so the quick release is the same on both sides. It's for you and whoever may end up having to treat you. It's also why I keep a ifak on the back of the belt so when you're being checked for entry/exit wounds it can be easily accessible and have to worry less about digging around a plate carrier unless you have a SOP with a certain group and everyone knows exactly where it is. As well I would say remember what IFAK stands for and if you wanna be able to treat someone make sure you have extra so that way if it comes to you you're not missing something essential hopefully you never need it but that's what it's there for. Nice setup though looks good
No that has been very helpful. Thank you for responding. I actually I think the med is correct for me. It just seems a little small because I always want to make sure I'm covering my whole chest for protection. I was thinking on going with hesco med plates.
There’s some good UA-cam videos out there on measuring yourself to determine plate size. I’d definitely watch some of those but I’m guessing medium will be the right answer.
@@PaowinPandas for me yes. Mainly in the elastic cummerbund and the ability of the shoulder straps to flex and turn with you. I’d say this definitely a superior carrier.
@@Redneck_Oper8tor Ahhh I think I know what you mean, so you take the normal clips off the shaw placard and then the ferro has ghooks built it that just connect to it. So nothing is needed to buy separately right?
@@brendanteamalphatrading so the fcpc can do swift clips or ghooks. So I got my Shaw placard with ghooks which hook into small tabs underneath a flap. Sorry it’s hard to explain without visuals.
@@Redneck_Oper8tor Ohhh okay that makes more sense, I just don't see where you can get the shaw placard with ghooks haha I guess I am just missing it, looks like it only comes with normal clips though on the website.
I'm 5'7 155lbs. I got a med plate carrier. I feel it's a little small. Can you tell me your size and weight so I have an idea what I should have. Thanks
You need to find the plates that are best for your body size and type then choose the size of your PC around the size of the plates. After finding your plate size find what PC best suits your needs
@@MegaJustinp I’m about 6’3” and 260. Just judging from what you’ve said I would guess that a medium plate would be correct for you unless you have a very long torso. You may want to look into adjusting your carrier differently.
Sorry if I may ask but my zoomer brain cannot focus on the gear you have listed. Can you please without the extra materials (like the pen shears etc) list the things you added? I am pretty sure you didn't mention the front mag holder but again I may have whizzed past it. Much thanks
The back of the carrier has a unique badass look ngl
Carabiners that can't lock out can be a nasty snag hazard; something to think about. Looks good dood
I actually have a locking one on the way. Thanks for the tip. 👍🏼

@@jonathonschram3429 haha at least you got a cool story out of it? I’ll definitely emphasize locking carabiners going forward.

@@MetalActual good notes thank you.
The LTC armor on next day armor is an affordable bundle that you can look to if you're looking for new plates
Also they sell in pairs

Nice gear!
What tourniquet holder are you running? looks sick
@@arsencchs the side mount one is trex arms and the under mount is part of the panel
Is this more comfortable than the armatus? If yes, was wondering in what ways
@@PaowinPandas for me yes. Mainly in the elastic cummerbund and the ability of the shoulder straps to flex and turn with you. I’d say this definitely a superior carrier.
what comberbund are you running? cool setup.
It’s a coyote tactical cummerbund
Where'd u get the multicam black flag bro?soo sick
I ordered it from keystone tactical supply.
Wich cummerbunds use I have the ferro cummerbunds but I don’t like it to install pouches
I have the coyote tactical
Does that shaw placard clip into the Ferro PC? If so where haha I just don't see any clips on It. Great video, awesome setup.
Yep it attaches with ghooks. On the Ferro the hooks are actually covered under flaps to avoid snagging and such.
@@Redneck_Oper8tor Ahhh I think I know what you mean, so you take the normal clips off the shaw placard and then the ferro has ghooks built it that just connect to it. So nothing is needed to buy separately right?
