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

PayPal Donations now work, by request, thanks to all: tinyurl.com/y5zzf9tq
TacticalDoodle and I take it to the Bunker to offer you up a cost effective and yet xlnt Plate Carrier option: the GFire. Tested in hard use X4 Ops, this GFire carrier is comfortable and well made. Well under $100 offered in tan, black, and OD at time of review. Many US made options reviewed here are well over $250 just for the vest; add in body amor and pouches and you'll have a $1000 plate carrier! The links below show you how to avoid that high cost. Probably short-lived so you might want to get it while they're being offered!

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.

Bought this plate carrier like 2 weeks before this review came out. I'm glad that other people also had good experiences with this product.

[@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.

[@Armedlegally]

Because of your inspiration with lbe, I picked up one and learned how to use it. Now I have other systems for other rifles. Not just for 223 556

[@Iceaxehikes]

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

I have so much body armor now. It’s expired but realistically it still works

[@LtColNutnfancy]

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.

[@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.

[@nelsonbutcher1]

Dont forget, need plates with a plate carrier. Doesn't matter what, anything is better than nothing.

[@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.

I have all of them setup with lvl 3+ steel plates except the smaller Chinese one from eBay it just has soft armor in it.

i have this carrier under the brand name rothco. it is identical in every way minus brand name.

[@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.

I used to go the "affordable" route on LBE.

Since having these breakages I've switched to spiritus systems (for many reasons, weight, low profile, no excessive fabric, quality stitching etc..) not knocking anyone who buys and uses the condor/gloryfire stuff though, it will absolutely do its job just be prepared with an extra buckle and some way to remedy a bad stich in the field.

[@dylanmichael3985]

Nutn said in the review that the stitching and buckles were high quality, maybe finish the video before making leaving an unsolicited negative comment? Just a thought. Im so sick of seeing comments like this on videos, finish the video.

Everyone would love to get a premium rig. Most can't afford it, can't justify the purchase at the time or can't see a reason to when China is making things nearly on par for half the price.

[@tv92taylor]

Agreed. Generally speaking, the only problem with the Chinese stuff are the little details. When you compare the Chinese knockoff to the originals, they typically feel very similar, but you’ll find random dimensions, stitches, etc that aren’t the same, and there is often a reason for why the original was made the way it was. It’s the difference between users designing equipment and companies just trying to make some quick money.

[@dylanmichael3985]

@@tv92taylor that's absolutely true and a very good point. Typically they are simply copying a mire well known pre-existing carrier as close as they can or in some cases just frankly find reasonably close enough. Usually they do not physically have or know the reference article, combined typically with not having first hand knowledge of the things they are making. In my opinion usually the cost to quirks is acceptable.

[@tv92taylor]

@@dylanmichael3985 Considering that 99.9% of the equipment they sell is never going to be used in a combat situation, or even a competition, and will just be LARPed in for fun, the reduction in price and quality is definitely reasonable.

What plates do you recommend for this vest?

[@jasonjohnson626]

Anyone own one of the Botach Battle Steel plate carriers with the cumberbunds and kangaroo pouch? I'm curious if it will fit battle steel 10x12 plates more snugly than the MOPC. I really don't need all this excess material that they added to make it compatible with BALCS cut soft armor and every plate size and shape on the planet. I'd be grateful if anyone has one and Battle Steel plates who could let me know how snugly they fit.

so not sure if you have done a vid on this but mebbe an idea if not. i have my lbe setup already done. could you do a video on say your wifes setup? specifically for women. my wife loves her ar so just trying to figure out what to get in these turbulent days....ty for considering this.

Question: if we are caught out in public after SHTF wearing an angry owl TNP patch on our LBE, does that automatically subject subject the wearer to a gear-check? 😉

[@evilassaultweaponeer]

You better believe it! If you don't have at least a rifle, pistol, and 3-4" knife you will be subject to penalty by pantsing.

I need a plate carrier, so sell me one. I have been with the project forever ❤

Is this good enough for LEO?

[@brandonlee8313]

Isn’t that more expensive than the condor ?

[@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? It would be crazy if Gloryfire is also making knockoff NCStar carriers considering NCStar stuff is cheap chinesium to begin with.

Looks pretty similar to a fox tactical vital vest.

I have a simple/cheap front & back plate carrier from Botach that carries 2 level IV plates. I just can't seem to get it to cooperate with my body shape; I'm skinny enough that the front plate sticks out at an angle, and the back plate is way too flat for my arched back. I'm just being honest here...does anybody with more plate carrier experience think that a better quality carrier with a cumberbun might make a difference? Or is it more of a flat plate vs. my body issue?

[@lonewanderer3603]

I know the carrier you have and they are better suited to level II/III UHMWPE plates. If you have the level IV, you should get a better carrier.

[@cjr4286]

@@lonewanderer3603 I'll definitely look into that, including side plates. Thanks!

I bought my shellback tactical vest with full tactical tailor pouches from a college kid in 2015 and have just been gradually upgrading it since. When I got laid off when Trump came into office I took my severance money and bought a new AR and a butt load of ammo. So there's that.

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.
