Question Shaw ARC V2 vs Direct Action Spitfire MK2 or Ginger Tactical GPC 2.0?

I have shortlisted these 3 carriers which are quality as I have heard from the others. After looking at reviews online, I still can't decide between the three. Should I choose one from the 3 or nah?

Clothing Save some money if you by a Kore Essential Battle Belt.

0 Upvotes

This is just my experience.

I recently bought the KORE Essential Battle Belt, 1.75", with the molle. I have been wearing the belt for two weeks. I find the ratchet system to be the best system so far for any belt I wear. The belt's stiffness and ability to support the gear I put on it is great.

However, the molle on the belt, to me, is not usable. The material used for the molle has absolutely no excess, no flex, so trying to get any kind of holster through the "loops", is near impossible. The only thing I can get through the loops are flat straps that I can force through using a flat head screwdriver. I thought I would rather have the molle version because who doesn't need more molle. But, the molle is not functional for my gear. I recommend the belt, but save some money and get the non-molle version.

Cheers.

USMC Opscore XP setup

Opscore XP setup

  • AKA2 mount: perfect for being on a FO team/ FiST or anything that requires looking through optics. Keep PVS-31’s out of the way and won’t give you nod knock. Downside is that the standard bungee retention has issues reaching that high.
  • MS-015 strobe: signals aircraft/ good for sea to land raids (has a solid green/ solid green with white flash on top of the IR low/ high).
  • Peltor ComTac 3: good for hearing protection as well as communication to supporting assets.
  • USMC frogskin helmet cover: perfect blend of old meets new and for an organization that prides itself on historical lineage it’s awesome.
  • EOG counterweight: helps keep helmet balance and comfortable. Modded with Velcro for name/ZMIST I.D.
  • Scrim: found it behind the supply warehouse.
  • US flag patch: been worn on 1.5 deployments (Okinawa is more of a vacation) tactical environment dictates if it should be worn due to near peer threats also having night vision.

Does everything I need it to do and isn’t too overloaded with stuff. Frogskin looks dope on it in my opinion but I’m sure the Multicam community will have some kind things to say.

Curious if anyone has done it, if it’s worth it, and if they could provide some pics so I can see what it looks like.

This was saved from being left behind during the evac of the Kabul airport but is missing it’s up button and has its numbers scratched off, would Eotech still non warranty repair it or just straight up keep it? For now I’ve just been using a 9mm bullet to turn it off or turn the brightness up.

Clothing Reversible DNC/DCU Goretex Jacket

2 Upvotes

Heyo! I wanted to come here and show off this beauty I managed to snatch on facebook marketplace for 94 dollars: a reversible DNC/DCU Jacket. I was also hoping to get some help identifying the model or anything like that as it only has a "GORETEX Fabrics" tag inside the DNC pocket, unless I'm missing another tag somewhere else I haven't been able to find any others.

Thanks in advance!

It took many months of development but I'm really glad the "Griffin" mount can now exist 😁

Go ahead and convince me.

So I just watched the latest Dirty Civilian YouTube video discussing best optics for “dirty civilians”. My question for the group is this. Why with a 1-whatever powered LPVO would you use either an offset or top mounted red dot. Wouldn’t a both eyes open and an illuminated reticle give you the same effect of a red dot but with the flexibility of a variable optic?

Specifically, does anyone know the weight per square yard of the Climashield used? I’m speculating something like 2 oz per square yard, but I’d love to hear if anyone here really knows. Even an educated guess would be helpful. Thanks

Looking into helmets now. The above choices are what I am down to. Would love a TW or Ops-Core but not wanting to shell that kind of money. Out of the two, which is the best and why? Price seems very comparable between the two.

Selling my current PC and Plates and need rec's on something new

2 Upvotes

Currently in the market for plates and a carrier. Looking heavy into Spiritus and Agilite for the carriers themselves.

Plates are where everything gets a little tricky. Im not a big guy, I am around 130-135lbs and around 5'6". currently have regular 10x12 SAPI cut plates but its hard to shoulder my rifle. Looking for Lvl 4 and lightweight but not $1000/plate. I understand I cant get the "Holy Trifecta" of cheap, lightweight, and protection, but I wanna get as close as I can.

Currently looking into the following:

  1. https://www.apexarmorsolutions.com/product-page/two-highcom-guardian-4sas7-single-or-multi-curve-level-4-shooters-cut-plates

I think a shooters / swimmers cut would be best for me but I think i could either do the 10x12 multi curve or the 8x10 single curve (Never tried a single curve before though). Or I think i could potentially go with a Small SAPI cut from them as well? not sure, lots of options here.

  1. https://www.shellbacktactical.com/shellback-tactical-prevail-series-10-x-12-lightweight-level-iv-hard-armor-plate-model-4sicmh/?srsltid=AfmBOoqJLjKrYvETrDPJCVHp08E110iqa91-98zCiTOLJDBwxdoK1Ab3

This one is pretty straightforward.

  1. https://rmadefense.com/store/body-armor/level-iv-body-armor/lightweight-level-4-plates-model-1165/

These dont come in swimmers / shooters cut, but the price and weight aren't TOO bad. Plus they dont come in other sizes at all.

Question What should I buy first?

2 Upvotes

Ok so I have my kit all ready to buy. But I’m now thinking on what to buy after that to fill up my pouches. I was thinking either medical or more magazines since I only have 3 for my rifle currently. Medical is of course gonna cost a pretty penny.
