Oh, wanted to add, the obligatory Oakley eye pro is ever present, as well as Arc Assault gloves that are attached to my chest rig by a carabiner. Great gloves, pistol work is still doable, fit great but still are being broken in. They have the same slick palm that aviator gloves do when they are brand new. I will do a write up comparing them, the OR Ironsights, and the Velocity gloves once I have time on the later two.

Long overdue:

Medium JPC. Velocity LVL 4 standalone with Kevlar backers.

Front:
Tyr Bang Pouch
3 PMAGS in Kangaroo
1 Glock and 1 M&P mag and 1 leatherman MUT in Kangaroo
Dark Angel DARK

Back:
Crye SPS 11x6x4 with 70oz Hydro
DARC drag strap
Red S&S VLite

The two types of pistol mags is a result of having to use 2 different pistols for work. Glock 22 on full time patrol duties, M&P 40 on SRT part time. I use the same carrier for both so this way I don't forget to swap the mag out. If I have time I ditch the one I'm not using.

Why plate backers? Stand alone plates basically have the backers sealed inside the plate (that's why they are thicker and heavier). Seems like more weight for an unknown (aka: none proven) amount of increased performance.

They were there for comfort on a old set of plates, just put them with these when I upgraded to the Velocity plates as I was use to them. Other than that, no reason.

Closed cell foam padding to fill the plate pocket. It will provide padding, reduce weight, AND assist in boyancy if you fall in the water

I'll have to get some and do that. Then sell my backers to someone so I can have the cash to upgrade to a JPC2.

I learned it from a real life Navy Seal so you know it's gotta be good.

There are those that will argue that the ball detent was designed for pilots and not durable enough for the urban fight getting knocked around and such and as a general rule they might be right. The requirement for the goggle is that a pilot can put it on and take it off with one hand.....however COMMA aftermarket springs can be purchased and placed into the goggle making the ball detent MUCH stiffer for ground use.

Sorry for the necropost, wanted to add some information related to ANVIS style mounts. The ANVIS ball detent mount is intentionally designed for the goggle to break away in the event of a snag/catch/massive deceleration. This is to avoid neck injury from the goggles in the event of a mishap/unplanned landing. It's definitely a pain in the ass when you accidently smash your goggles on the side of the window frame while clearing the aircraft though. That's why lanyards are SOP for ANVIS goggles used by flight crews.
