[@jeremycastleberry]

Hey man. Thanks for putting this out there. Big guys can't run away so we need armor! :)

[@BigGunner81TV]

Jeremy von Kesselburg ha very true... Im slow, but I can shoot...

[@vtecfed420]

Lol

[@philt2k3]

Haha truth

[@joker6374]

Damn right lol

[@cowboy7x]

That's why there's a position of "over watch" for you big guys. (And us older guys) ;-)

[@SykesFW]

1st, this is to all you guys being disrespectful, grow the hell up, if you don't have anything worthwhile to say, DON'T COMMENT! 2nd, to BG, I'm sorry for popping off on these asshats on your page man 3rd, I appreciate the video man, it was very informative for me, I'm 6'3" 274 lbs and I have issues finding body armor that will fit, I had the same issue when I was in the military, it's all made for mostly small framed guys. thanks again thanks for the video and keep up the good fight man

[@BigGunner81TV]

Thanks brother... "They hate us cuz they anus!" Lol honestly I laugh at the stupid comments... :)

[@cashmoney4380]

Nice Video! Can you tell me exactly the name and model of your vest please. Tanks

[@websuspect]

deer park spring water!

[@TexZenMaster]

I used to be 6'3" 270 lbs, but by controlling my meal portion size and walking everyday (getting a dog helps), I lost 70 lbs. It was wild to see a six-pack again after years without it. No hate; I just want everyone to live a long life with positive body image and mobility.

[@supersexyfatguy]

Just remember big guys, if there are riots in your neighborhood and you need to defend your home and family, you won't be running much, but you may need the armor. Every man deserves to have every tool available to him, not just warfighters.

[@bkackmagic555]

Congrats its about that time

[@slopothacrop]

Congratulations on predicting riots 3 year ahead of schedule. Props.

[@sheepinwolvesclothing7909]

Amen. We dont need to justify owning body armor because we are Americans.

[@AhHereWeGo]

We won’t be running much anyway, but good point nonetheless.

[@supersexyfatguy]

Well guys, it was just a thought in the back of my head at the time, I believe there were in fact some riots going on then, but now it's a realistic threat. They could actually bring the riots to anyone's neighborhood. Stay safe, make sure your rifle is handy, and don't forget your med kits and TQ's.

[@kevincjones1]

Thank you from a 3x and 4x guy for the video.

Great Review Biggunner! Thank you for giving a 'big guy' review. Please don't let the haters bother you. I was once well over 300+ lbs and know exactly how you feel. My boys are both 6'2" and very big and strong guys. Your review was PERFECT for us big guys! Thank you for the thorough and honest review. Please keep up the good work!

[@commanderbeepo8066]

Nice to see another patriot who's helping solve problems. I'm not as slim as I used to be, I'm a beat up old grunt and something like this is right up my alley. Love you man, keep fighting the good fight!

[@southbound141]

I realize this is a very old video. I’m very new to this whole firearm and gear type equipment. I was someone who didn’t care about gear or firearms until about a year ago. I was almost robbed by four men where i use to live in a big southern city in Georgia. A man with a pistol came to my rescue as I was just about being kicked unconscious. I owe that man a lot. I’m a big fellow 6’5” 330 which doesn’t a thing but I saw this review of this plate carrier and I’m working on dropping the weight and getting as much training as I can as I am now a ccw holder and a man who shoots every weekend and trains. Like I said I’m very new to this and have taken 3 firearms training classes so far and plan to never stop. Thank you for this video. I have a better idea of how this is going to fit until I can get something a little better.

[@BigGunner81TV]

It is an old video but I'm still here. Thank you for subscribing and sharing your story, keep up the good fight!

[@danielb6505]

Thank God you made it out alive! God Bless you man, also in case you don't know about Jesus Christ, read on man. Jesus Christ is Lord and he loves you all soo much! The Lord is coming soon! Tomorrow is not promised! There IS A point where it's too late! Get saved before it's too late! He came to free you from addictions, torment from demons, the fear of death, the bondage of sin, ON YOUR VERY LIFE, FOR YOUR VERY LIFE AND SOUL! HE DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE FOR US! HE CAN FREE YOU! God hates the sin, yet he loves the sinner, You! Don't let this choice of dismissing him end up being the eternal choice of YOUR FUTURE, YOUR STORY, YOUR ETERNITY, OUR Lord loves you! Get under his covering before the storm hits! So that when he returns you will see your Lord, Saviour, and Friend! Instead of seeing a foe like satan and his hordes of demons will! For their time at that moment will be up! They are already condemned, do not be among them and their followers! John 3:16‭-‬18 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Romans 10:9‭-‬11 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. John 14:6 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 10:17 KJV So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 1 Peter 3:21 NLT And that water is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to God from a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Mark 1:15 KJV And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Romans 3:23 KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Mark 16:15‭-‬20 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Romans 3:29 KJV Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 2 Peter 3:8‭-‬9 KJV But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Matthew 24:1‭-‬39 KJV And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 6:9‭-‬15 KJV After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (How to receive the gift of The Holy Spirit) Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Feel free to copy this message and send it to others, Jesus Christ is coming soon! To him be all The Honor, The Glory, and The Praise unto The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords! God Bless you!

What plate carrier do you use and like? I’m a 2XL also and I’m searching.

[@greatwhite78]

Thanks for the video! I have been trying to get an idea for a carrier size and being a big guy. I still have to decide on hard or soft armor since one is lighter than the other but still offers protection. How is it working out with your accessories on it and your mobility? Again, thanks for the info, I ordered one just before I commented.

[@wheels2199]

If you wanted a US made carrier you would have to pay four times the price. For occasional use condor carriers are very well made, I was pleasantly surprised. For me and the limited use, condor is a great option and serves my purposes perfectly. Great vid and review.

[@ericjhannah]

That was a great video and thank you for showing a-z as far as the carrier, plates and how they fit. I need something larger as well and saw the carrier etc but never on a larger guy.

[@adamadams6740]

Thanks for this one man,I just found you,as a bigger dude I appreciate someone telling me what works and doesn’t before I waste money..I’ve been looking for someone with a good heavy duty machine to alter some of my gear to make it fit a little better. I saw someone say it in comments but it’s true if anyone needs armor it a dude that’s not running far!(although I’ve seen some big dudes that move like a mofo) back in the day playing football I could but need to work on that.

[@BigGunner81TV]

No problem, thanks for watching!

[@Loyal-ey2eq]

This is an excellent video Brother, thank you for posting.

[@chriscollins9429]

I think the idea behind the holster is so you can always have easy access to your pistol. If your sitting in a vehicle and have your gun on your hip you might have a harder time grabbing it. But if its on your plate carrier its gonna be much easier

[@Joejunksitjunkremoval]

Great video brother as always I appreciate you thanks again

Thanks for the video and time/work you place into it. I myself am 5'11" at 250 lbs , I know I'm just a pip squeak, but I went XL on the plate carrier and on the AR500 plates 11x14 front plate curved and rear plate flat. Why ??? I have back problems and with the rear plate being flat it actually feels comfortable. But the point I wanted to make here is sure I got it a tad bit to big but I LOVE EATING and catching a bullet in my stomach GOD forbid would put a big damper on me enjoying my favorite HOBBY, EATING ( : P.S. The plates are freaking heavy this must count to burning some major calories wouldn't you agree.

Wrap the basic plate with 2 rolls of Gorilla tape and works better than the build up and is cheaper and replaceable

[@marcobarron2480]

What size is the set up u have? The condor carrier is it a Xl ? I’m about your size. Thx.

[@jspang31]

Good point about the curved plates. I bought one with a curve and one without. I find the curved plate is a much better fit. I'm a bigger guy to and the difference in fit and feel is substantial. Spend the money and get the curved.

[@josephbailey4225]

+jspang31 Would you recommend the curved for the back as well or is it more for the front plate? Im 6'2 and 290 so I have also had some concerns about fit before buying a carrier and plates.

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

joseph bailey, go with the curved for the front ONLY and flat for your back. A curved rear plate WILL gouge the edges into your skin unless you have the EXACT same curvature as the plate. Even "skinny" folks don't fit very well with a curved back plate. Not yo say NONE fit good but the typical human upper torso isn't curved like the AR500 plates are. Hope this helps if it isn't too old of information. SOMEbody will be reading this down the line and may be able to glean some helpful information. Good Luck.

[@TheRealServonteEphriam]

Big gunner i am from Los angeles ca and i am in need of that vest.Please let me know how i can order and what is the price

[@OTH_Hobbies]

Thanks for the review!! I'm 5'11 and 315. I also wear XXXL shirts so I think this will work for me. It is frustrating to search and come up with nothing. I actually ordered one from Galls but it is on backorder. If it doesn't fit I will be ordering this one. My plates are on order from AR500 and I ordered the curved plates. I also ordered the trauma pads although not sure if they are needed. Any experience with them?

[@BigGunner81TV]

Cool, nope I haven't tried the trauma pads....

[@KiefferPlant]

What model is the carrier?

[@bonnevillebagger9147]

As a big guy aswell. Do you have any concern of a ricochet from the armor going towards your neck? Due to your belly creating an angle.

[@NotoriousBIGGZ]

HEY IM A BIG GUY TOO. WHICH CARRIER DID YOU GET. I WAS ON THE AR500 SITE TRYING TO GET THE SAME SIZE AS YOU OR SAME CARRIER

[@AyeMane117]

4:30 I run my pistol on my belt as well but only while I’m up and moving around i have a second minimalistic holster on my carrier for when I’m in a vehicle because It’s hard to operate a rifle like you can a pistol in confined spaces so having a pistol on your chest instead of belt while in a seated position is very practical makes getting to the weapon much easier but if I’m not seated the pistol goes right back in my belt holster

[@patricktaitt6356]

hi good day where can I get this plate carrier

+Shawn M Your welcome, I don't remember but I think I put the model number in the video for the condoor plate carrier, I think the plates were the largest like 11x9 maybe I honestly don't remember.

[@Lexusondubs25]

+BigGunner81 ok i will watch the vid again im currently talking with condor to make a xl-xxl plate carrier there telling me i need at least 500 to do a custom order so i will find out more info as it becomes available .... have you worn the carrier since the vid ?? any changes ?? do you still like it ?? subscribed and liked

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

Shawn M, if you are still trying to put together another group buy for the 500 pcs of the carriers, add me to the list of willing to buy one. When I bought my PC and armor, I got it when AR500 had a sale going on. It came with PC, 2 each 2X M4 mag pouches and 2 each single pistol mags and a universal pistol holster plus one curved and one flat Level III coated plates. Gotta love 'em, heavy or not! Not too fond of the pistol being on my chest and wish it had capability to change over to a hip mounted holster. Not a deal killer, though. Additionally, my PC doesn't have the "Band" type cumberbund, meaning large flaps. Mine has strap type affairs for side plate carriers (or use as small admin pouches), covered with MOLLE straps and cinch strings that take up excess material. It secures on the lower back PC pouch with a wide band of Velcro. (Hope I NEVER have to don or doff the gear on a stealth-required AO. AIN'T gonna happen since the Velcro is NOISY!! LOL) It's a bit lighter as a result, allows more flexibility for us "Full-Figured" boys AND is cooler since less material encloses our, um, Love Handles, if you know what I mean. ;-) All in all, I'm happy with my gear and discovered that having the curved FRONT plate makes fitting and comfort MUCH better than flat up front. Conversely, FLAT are better on the back so the curved edges don't dig into the side areas where the curved plates would rest against your skin. Makes a WORLD of difference when sitting in a vehicle with your back pushed on a seat back, troop carrier wall, etc. Trust me on this. I'm a "Big Boy" too, and got to actually try out both style plates, front and rear, at the actual Home Office for AR500 in Phoenix, AZ. Ok this is running on too long so I'll close in thanking the video posting Big Gunner (I think) for creating this video. It's long overdue and MUCH appreciated, I assure you! If I can offer any advice, feel free to holler at me. I'm a Disabled Vet (U.S. Army, 78-82), former Deputy Sheriff with Haz/Mat background as well as medical experience (EMT) when I was a cop. Been shooting, reloading, hunting, fishing, camping, rock climbing and repelling and generally anything to do outdoors and especially with adrenaline (!!!!) for over 50 years now. Haven't done everything there is to do but ain't much I've missed, either. And as you can see, I'm not afraid to speak my mind and make suggestions. I know this is an older post but I just found you and have subscribed. Looking forward to watching as many of your videos as I can find. I just hope you have a thick skin since I'll call you out if I see any BS posted. Take Care, God Bless and I hope your and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving, Pardner!

[@BigBoss-rf1xu]

[@beardofknowledge3330]

[@skeeviesteve1071]

Great vid... keep em comin

[@BigGunner81TV]

Thank you, I've been really busy with life.... So the videos have slowed down a bit. However I am working on ramping back up and making some more... even short videos take time, filming and editing...

[@biggerbehindthetrigger2814]

I'm a big guy. I have always wanted some body armor for my preps. I want one for everyone in our group. I'm the EMT but I also can shoot 1000 yards so yeah. Any way I subbed you so I can get your videos. Good stuff Sir.

[@BigGunner81TV]

Thanks!

[@CRUZROYHelicopters]

thanks can you tell me your shirt size, im looking for one

[@BigGunner81TV]

In that video probably 3 or 4xl

[@acqarturochavez]

Great Vid Brother, Keep em coming! 👍

[@BigGunner81TV]

Arturo Chavez Thank you! I appreciate the support, as of posting this video I am looking for a new career so funding new videos / projects will be tough. I bought the armor well before I left my job. Luckily I have had a few people and companies lend me items to review recently. If anyone would like to help contribute to the channel (Even a buck or 2 helps, and all funding / donations solely go to funding the channel film equipment/software/gear to review ect) You can do so through paypal: [e-mail]

[@acqarturochavez]

Will donate when I get a chance bro, good luck on the job search, Funding of this lifestyle that we live does not come cheap 😣

[@BigGunner81TV]

Absolutely, I've cut back on my shooting, luckily I stocked up on reloading components not too long ago, so I've been using the time to catch up on reloading. As well as working on my health, walking, lifting weights ect. Hopefully soon, I'll find something else I would like to do again. I appreciate it my friend! And thank you again! BTW do you have any thoughts or ideas for my channel to help improve it, or anything in particular you would like to see or see more of?

[@acqarturochavez]

I hear you brother, Keep walking and inproving on your health, I have been doing the same and I am starting to feel better and more energized, Just keep hydrated and eat more meats and vegetables. In all honesty your doing great on your channel and show a level of confidence that alot of others lack. If you are ever in the El Paso-Texas area feel free to message me so we can hang out and go shooting.

[@BigGunner81TV]

That would be awesome!

[@kyrox5435]

great video, subscribed!!

[@BigGunner81TV]

Thanks! I appreciate the support! be sure to stay tuned for coverage from Shot Show 2017 coming up next month..

[@ihatenewyork]

I know I'm late to the party and maybe what I'm about to suggest wasn't around in 2015, but have you considered getting inserts for the plates instead of the coating?

[@thedudewtfpodcast5835]

What size shirt do you wear? Trying to see if this is a good fit for me based on shirt size

[@BigGunner81TV]

Depends on the shirt 3xl would probably be average, but I often wear 4 and 5xl because they are looser if that makes sense....

[@alexdogg9269]

The attachment pieces on the bottom of the carrier is for a groin plate carrier

[@Anakin-Skywalker.]

I’m 6”3 290 and going to be a cop, but I wanna train with armor on, I have the condor plate carrier you have but I have level 3 and 4 plates, currently I have 3 In, but I will put 4 in if I have too.

[@JonathanBaileyn2u]

Thank you sir for doing this video.. helped very much

[@BigGunner81TV]

You are most welcome

[@DMF716]

I originally had the gunner plate carrier by condor. It was always too small and finally purchased the gen II EXO PLATE CARRIER I found balcs/spear DOD soft armor and installed it. Picking up plates in 2 weeks. Level III+ CERAMICS

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

I appreciate people who aren't affected by the stigma that the word fat seems to have gained. At 230, I really wouldn't consider myself fat but I'm certainly getting there.

[@BigGunner81TV]

Words only have the power we give them...

[@michaelambuehl6000]

Thank you for this

[@chrishead7664]

What's out there for guys that wear a 5X shirt? I would love to have one but haven't been able to find one that fits.

[@BigGunner81TV]

I wear a 5xl now... it still fits but barely..
