Fortunately body armor has greatly evolved in recent years. The flak vest is gone and although we’ll never have a cozy place to warn our hands in modern armor, survive-ability rates and comfort have gone way up. Some of the newest technologies have come from smaller companies who were free of government contracts to develop […]
There are so many plate carriers out on the market now, it’s sometimes overwhelming to find the one that suits your needs. This is especially true if you have low-visibility requirements.

The case seems to be an evolution of the now discontinued line of Blue Force Gear Dapper cases. I have owned the BFG 28″ Mk18 case for several years. […]
Although I am very biased towards the LBT 6094 as my “do everything” carrier, I realize that sometimes there is a need for a much lighter carrier. Last year I was issued a Crye Precision LV-MBAV and it fit the bill perfectly. It is an extremely lightweight carrier. This carrier was made famous by pictures […]
I’ve recently been diving into body armor. I did a post on concealed soft armor and wanted to do the same for concealed hard armor. Soft armor is designed specifically to defeat most handgun threats.
