GFire Plate Carrier: When You Don't Want to Get Ripped Off

[@LtColNutnfancy]

Scout154 More gear reviews Nutn! Update gloves video would be awesome 7 2d The Nutnfancy Project Copy, Glove update....I'll get to work on it. just now Todd Strelka I don't watch football after eating Thanksgiving dinner, so I'll watch this later. I could use a plate carrier and some armor. 5 2d Ryan Reese Dude, hope you and the family are doing well. Been praying for you guys. 🤙 4 2d Greg Malcom Happy Thanksgiving Nutnfancy family!! 3 2d Dan Casey Been waiting for this review! Saw your post on Twitter and already bought one. Still need to break it in. 3 2d Bernt Ryggs Excellent vid, Nutn! I geared up on a condor rig on your recommendation way back in the day. Still run it, still love it 3 2d Ryan A Agilite is having a black Friday sale. They have two nice carriers for about 200. Those are out of Israel, and they have nice upgrades. Like better load bearing, ventilation, and quick disconnect. It’s hard these days to avoid Chinese products, because the cost is low and some products really perform well. 2 2d Bill The Broken Nutn great to see - I bought the EXACT rig in fde last month! For the price, man I don't think it can be beat. Thanks for the confirmation! 3 2d Tom Small 3a plates stop handgun rounds only. AR500 has buy one get one sale for level 3 and 3+. Thanks for the video! 1 2d Rob B Hey Tom, I have a set of 3+ plates and a set of level IV ceramic. Of the two, the ceramic is much lighter & more comfortable. However, if price is an issue, don’t hesitate to get the 3+ plates. They really are excellent for the money. I would suggest trauma pads to fit behind them to make them more comfortable to wear and to help fill up the carrier pocket a little better. Cheers. 1 2d Kelly Mcclellan I have a vest from chase tactical. It’s level 4. Currently it only has the ability to carry three AR mags. I’m not sure what else I need to put on it. 2d Jeremy Gontarz Just bought a tan one hopefully it will blend well with jeans and a t-shirt for camouflage in urban setting. Trying not to stick out like a sore thumb. 2d The Nutnfancy Project THat's a good color for that, I think you will like it, let us know 2 2d Load reply Edward mcclure Condor does make a horizontal holster, called the “HT” I think. It’s got molle straps for mounting. It is however, a universal style holster. 1 2d Josh Payne Says he doesnt want to say a price when the price is on a sticker in the middle of the vest lol 1 2d David and Elizabeth Looks like fantastic value for money. Thanks for the video to watch after our Thanksgiving dinner. 👨‍👩‍👧❤ 1 2d Patrick Brichta Happy Thanksgiving to All! 2d Trey Baker Hey Nutn seen on Twitter you got the Rona get well soon buddy and great video. 2d The Nutnfancy Project Thanks, yep I got Corona, had some bad cold symptoms, some fluid in the lungs but not too bad. Thanks! 7 2d Load reply Travis Bright Bought one from tweet. About to order a second for the fam. Great fit for all sizes. 2d The Nutnfancy Project Good feedback, thanks 1 2d david rockwell Preparation reduces anxiety and while providing time to assess changing environment. Defensive items like plate carrier/armor assist with the first rule of survival; do not get shot. Thank you for the continued effort and dedication. 1 2d Cyborg009 Thanks for the review. This has always been a low priority but at the price could not be resisted. 1 2d Mike Great vid!! Nutn, have you thought of setting up an email list to keep your followers updated on things if the censorship gets crazy? 2d Rob B I’ve separated my systems according to threat level, but differently from Nutn’s style. I’m fairly thin so my LBE real estate is limited as compared to some of my larger TNP brothers. I have to spread items around vertically. I prefer my pistol on a belt with its 3 spare mags, 1 M4 mag, & an IFAK. I keep 4 M4 mags on my plate carrier w/ a Rat 1 and not much else. I can use just the belt, just the carrier, or both. 1 2d Clint Raby Bought this off of the link in the video of you and Mrs. Nutn testing knifes in the mountains. Still working on outfitting it but I really like it. Thanks again Nutn! 2d Devin Heald Aside from the political environment right now how does one spin the need to have a LBE system to the wife? lol thanks 1 2d David M Behsman Tell your wife that it will help consummate your marriage. At least it kind of works for my uncle. 1 2d Load reply Robert Avery Appreciate the review and enjoyed this video instead of more NFL kneelers today. Happy Thanksgiving to TNP. 3 2d Ruben Lopez TD, there's nothing in my rear, let alone a radio!!! But I am always packing upfront, a long barrel! 2d Guy Actual Picked up a ranger green version... As I don't live in the desert... 2d Joshua Keeler I grabbed a green one as I live in the ozarks. Nice price. 2d Ed Klonowski Thanks NUTN, gave me the drive to get a vest for the wife as well as round my vtac vest out. Finally “squared away”. Thanks 1d Marko B. Too bad i have ordered Helikon-Tex Training Mini Rig just few days a go. Well, hope it will serve me well and if not, this will my next buy. Link to the Helikon is some one is interested: www.helikon-tex.com/en_eur/kk-tmr-cd-training-mini-rig-tmr.html Thx for the great review and a recommendation! 1d Drew Cox Just bought mine last night. I saw the Twitter post, so I placed it in my Amazon cart. Recently started a new contract job that has me really needing a vest now, so that's that! Thanks Nutn and TD. Good to see y'all! 1d Bretti Andrettski I just dove in for the black carrier because I may end up downtown Portland so I'll have a "PRESS" patch on the front and back that way the BLM/Protifa freaks pass me by. Get well Nutn. 23h Foghorn Yup.. Bought one for the son to use with some III plates... I've got some AR500 plates but dang it will be heavy... but he's young and fit... Great suggestion. 21h Ronald RayGun Ordered one in green....2nd cool 14h Racing Psychosis If you cannot pick up a good color for your region, don't be afraid to rattle can that thing with some other more fitting colors. 1 13h Red dog 1 Botach says they have things in stock...... but not so much. They had slow service prior to COVID, BLM and the election. I’ve been waiting on an order for months. I will give you that they have good prices. But how long does one have to wait. 1 11h Mark Hansen Thanks again, Nutn and Doodle. Just ordered one in OD green. Should be here today! Going to set it up similar to that w/IIIA's. Stay safe and be well!! --Mark 1 8h SaltySouthpaw Just bought a condor rig for the same price at a local gun show here in Ohio. From what I see both rigs are exactly the same. Good stitching. Both made in China. So don’t feel bad about buying this one, you’re basically buying a condor."

Im more in defensive mode protecting my grandchildren. Thanks for the heads up. Great job.

[@dylanmichael3985]

I just received this carrier yesterday evening from Amazon. Ive had a few $300 carriers in the past, for everyone down here trashing Chinese carriers; you're severely wrong on this one. This carrier is outstanding for the price. If this were made in the U.S. it would be $250 or more. Theres are still in stock on Amazon, if you're on the fence.. Dude pull the trigger. This is a trunk carrier for an active shooter scenario if I have the time to prepare before the shooting starts. Its actually so well done I feel guilty relegating it to the trunk hopefully to never be used. Good eye nutn, thank you.

[@ciscokidcspf]

Nutn, that is 100% the original condor MOPC under a different name / supplier on Amazon with a different / better price, good stuff, mine lasted a decade or decently hard mileage

[@clamum]

Yeah I think the Condor MOPC is pretty decent. I bought one way back in the day from nutn's review but realized it didn't fit me good cause I'm small, and was even smaller. I need to sell it on OfferUp/LetGo still lol.

I put my plate carrier on while working around the house. The weight of the steel plates is easy to get used to. The breathing restriction sorta never goes away. Like wearing bags on a jobsite; you'll always know they are on, and be grateful to take them off at lunch or end of day, but you will get used to them if you wear them.

[@rossowens2328]

you wont have to get used to the weight of the steel plates for long because the first round you take is going to explode back into your face or jugular and probably cause you to bleed to death. get some quality ceramic plates

If you know the right people you can score big with their surplus. Supposedly those vests can be totally fine, if they've been taken care of.

Just picked up an LA Police Gear Atlas plate carrier and a pair of their level 4 plates. Carrier was priced at $80 and the plates were around $120 each. I’m excited to check it all out and get the carrier all set up. I did scope out the shellback tactical beforehand. I’ve got a few condor mag pouches and they’re great for the price. I really like all my other LA Police Gear stuff so far too and it’s also very affordable

[@NotHunterCooper]

Train in your vest and armor. If you can't jog a mile in a reasonable amount of time in it, it's either too heavy or you are. Invest in good plates. Hesco special threat are the absolute best for their price and worth shopping around for.

[@JHolder1422]

just recently got all my stuff from AR500 Armor(beginning of GF Riots). they are local to me here in AZ and the quality has been top notch. Just ordered a full belt setup from them as well yesterday. I figured i should support local and do everything i can to keep the US working instead of other countries... But i totally understand those who cant do that.

[@ryanedgeworth5652]

The condor MOPC gen 2 took your idea with replacing the elastic cummerbund with bungee cord. Also, they changed the cummerbund to hold 6x11 soft armor instead of 6x6/6x8 side plates. I personally liked side plate pockets.

[@FlankerJackChannel]

[@LtColNutnfancy]

Agree!

[@keithrobicheux4749]

I would argue that steel is worse than nothing. Steel stops rounds, but you’ll never wear it. If you do wear it then the loss in mobility may get you shot. it’s just too heavy to be anything but a static barrier

[@sethw4569]

@@keithrobicheux4749 my Spartan stuff with side plates and 3 mags is under 30lbs. My 100lb girlfriend can chore in her’s. The weight is a small price to pay when covering your vital bits. Ceramics would be great but the cost and chance of breakage when bouncing around in a truck bed or trunk is something many people don’t want to deal with.

[@ctrlaltdebug]

Textbooks, tile, and duck tape is better than nothing. Steel is actually pretty good against slow moving rounds, as long as fragments are caught. NB: spalling only happens with tank armor and HESH/APDS 120mm levels of energy.

Will 10×12 plates work in this carrier?

[@FT4Freedom]

Definitely cool but looks hot. I prefer to carry minimalist plate carrier with LBE over top. Mostly because I am a scout ranger type on foot over wild terrain. I don't carry more than lvl 3 PE soft plates, 44 mag. But my plates and carrier only weigh about 4lbs total. SAWC makes me compromise on my armor. But I'd rather move fast than die. I think of the macvsog, lrrp, reece, and they were relatively lightweight. It's comfortable wearing soft armor in a slimline carrier. It's important to me to have good torso mobility and be able to get close to the ground. If I need to, I can incorporate a porcelain ceramic tile into the system. For me, the idea is to have some armor for peace of mind. But it's ridiculous to carry an extra 5-10 lbs when always on foot.

[@willholly1844]

That Gfire is a NCStar 2924 if I ever saw one. The only difference I can see is this has loops for wires or hoses but for all I know NCStar may include those also now. It's been a few years since I acquired mine. Everything else is identical. Doesn't Gloryfire make knockoff earpro?

+Tactical Trumpet Both front and rear; as well as side plates.

Will this accept level4 steel plates? Which size should I get? I just ordered the plate holder this morning. Never used one before but it's time to get ready even if I'm just defending where I'm sleeping at. Thanks for the help in advance.

Butwhat about small guys like myself? 5'4" at 135 lbs. I honestly have a hard time finding carriers or rigs that don't hang around my waist too loosely. I stay fit so fat doesn't fit me.

I’m not gonna say the price then proceeds to show the price. Lol

My LBE needs to be TOTALLY checked and re done and squared away... Ate up like soup sandwich... Not gonna lie

[@Alexthefisherdude]

Hey Nutnfancy, a video for bigger guys would be great, im 285 6ft tall and for example the carriers are 7.5inch wide from back to front and thats like half of what I need. Is there any recommendation for guys that are a little or a lot on the heavier side?

[@RktsledTv]

Order one last night after seeing video thanks.

Looks like a rebranded Condor MOPC

[@bubbaredneck75]

*Interesting opinion:* Generally speaking a *plate carrier* is a better purchase than a *chest rig* - because even if you don't want plates, you have the option in the future AND you have the same mag/holster space + the only disadvantage is that the plate carrier *might* be somewhat heavier (but that depend on what brands of plate carriers and chest rigs you compare) What do you think ?

[@jakesshopandtracktalk1835]

I think that maybe we should be talking about helmets every now and then. Right now the main weapon of the what did Nutnfancy call them, is mostly bricks, bottles and Molotov’s. A brick off the dome will kill ya dead. And bats. Almost forgot about bats.

[@foxtrotunit1269]

@@jakesshopandtracktalk1835 I agree with that. My question was about plate cariers vs chest rigs though ?? :)

[@jakesshopandtracktalk1835]

@@foxtrotunit1269 My stuff is old ALICE gear that I got Army surplus. I spent quite a bit of time in IBA a long time ago and I ‘ll say this here, rifle plates are heavy. And I will also say that it depends. Depends on your level of physical conditioning and toughness. Depends on what your POU is. What do you envision your minuteman MOS being? Infantry? Cavalry? Cook? I was an airframer in the Navy 20 years so I imagine that is probably my most useful skill in any armed conflict. I have my stuff set up for watch standing .

[@foxtrotunit1269]

​@@jakesshopandtracktalk1835 Is it better to invest into a plate carrier (that you can also just use as a chest rig) or just a chest rig. (and who said anything about rifle plates - with all these riots pistol plates are probably sufficient and much lighter, no ? :) )

[@jakesshopandtracktalk1835]

@@foxtrotunit1269 if you get a plate carrier, you can put a plate in it. So it’s more wiggle room down the road. Nutnfancy probably rushed this out the door because he expects this stuff to be banned for civilian ownership within 6 months. Plates in particular.

Will this fit 11x14 curved plates?

How do I insert plates into it

[@silverwings21]

From the bottom.

Has anyone bought the "tan" one? I have green but I want coyote. I love the GFire, I just don't want to spend $65 on a carrier the wrong color
