Swat Plate Carrier: A Closer Look

[@bufftammy735]

As a swat medic. I personally want everyone to carry Nitrile Gloves (or water proof duty gloves) and some Compression gauze as well as a tourniquet. Since SWAT teams generally have a higher chance of shooting someone. You never know who your gonna deal with and some form of PPE is nice. Also Tourniquets can't be used everywhere so gauze is nice.

[@JohnSmith-od9mr]

Hey I was actually wanting to be a swat medic I'm 17 can you give me any advice if you don't mind

[@mrdark9916]

@@JohnSmith-od9mr Yeah. One thing that is pretty much never talked about, is the different methods for actually trying to CONTROL your severely injured "patient" who is thrashing and screaming because you are trying to pack 12 feet of gauze deep into his arterial bleed lol. If you are alone, it can be extremely difficult to control them and still treat them So definitely look into that and learn a few methods. And the Celox Applicators are amazing. get a few.

[@jval2]

@@JohnSmith-od9mr Be a firefighter, they are usually the ones that are swat medics. Firefighters stay as firefighters but when SWAT gets called, they go with them as the medic. Firefighters are trained EMTs, for SWAT medic you might have to get your paramedic certification at least that's how it is down here in Florida.

The xps radios have a surveillance mode that keeps the screens from lighting up. The negative is the speaker wont work unless a microphone is attached.

let's be real though if you're using it without a mic you don't need surveillance mode

[@PTRRanger951]

Radio techs can disable the lighting on the radio. I own an APX7000 I used for my sheriffs office. I have it to where the only light that comes on when I transmit is the little red LED, which can also be turned off. It’s surveillance mode. Radios assigned for swat should have that set! They can also be set per channel. So regular channels will have lights, and special channels can be blacked out.

[@azcop86]

For those of you wondering about the gas mask. It’s made by a company called Avon. The model is the C50 single canister.

[@joeyb7408]

You gotta try to get him to be a whole SWAT model as he wears a balaclava so you can talk about his gear.

[@Jre-rb2ru]

This is a nice set up my swat gear needs an upgrade I’ll probably be looking into something like this that mesh would be great for the South Georgia heat. I personally carry my gas mask on my off hand leg but it’s all about preference. I’ve also recently discovered those electric glow sticks I’ve had a chem lit hit the corner of a brick causing it to bust and painting me with it.

[@nastystang113]

After two years I wonder what plate carrier he’s running now. I have been running the Agilite K19 and find it’s really comfortable. I did do some upgrades to it that make it work a lot better for myself. Running a HRT Maximus placard with three rifle mags, two pistol mag sized pouches, two smaller GP pouches up front for a bunch of shit like my Leatherman, one of my tourniquets, food, smoke or whatever else I need quick. Ferro Concepts Wingthing for my radio and Knifehook. BFG Tenspeed mag pouch, a Dangler with soft armor, plus side plates. I usually run Agilite’s AMAP III for 1-2 day ops unless we are fucking rucking.

[@denissong2251]

Are the side plate pouches from agilite?

[@Jovan.762]

Only seeing two mags on a carrier is hard to get used to but I guess most confrontations S.W.A.T. get into don't require a full combat load.

Only complaint is that it comes in the original packaging. So everyone knows what it is and could potentially be stolen. Other than that it seems like it’ll be comfortable. I’m currently 5 days away from giving birth and it fits around my belly comfortably. Price wise it’s perfect. Can’t wait to use this with my new little one while chasing my toddler.

Why would you NOT make the shoulder retention a functional drag handle? Totally understand why someone on the team would grab that, but at $220 I wouldn’t complain- I’m sure a decent seamstress could reinforce them for functionality.

I still like true chemical glow sticks. We use a lot of these in CQB and room clearing. Each team guy would have 6 to 10 sticks per operation. The Nite-ez (sp?) light sticks wouldn’t be ideal in that situation. As they say, you mileage may vary!

What side plates pouches are those?

[@KevinMcMullen.]

Dancing Panda Did some searching I was curious myself the mag pouches seem to be by eagle industries which that style is discontinued. After taking a look at there other mag pouches which do not look as good I am guessing they were sued maybe from the kydex design... Idk why else they would have stopped making them.

[@PrayingPanda]

@@KevinMcMullen. do you have a link. The only ones I've found from them don't look like the ones in the video. You may be right about the law suit thing. Or close. I don't see why you'd stop making a pouch that's such a sleek design unless someone else threatened to sue over it being too similar to theirs.

[@KevinMcMullen.]

@@PrayingPanda I did some more searching and actually found some for sale on ebay. I bought 2 of them. I also found out what kind of side plate pouches these are too from looking around. I will post a link below for both.

Where I can go for custom molle vest covers for soft body armor.

[@Compliant89]

Unfortunately it’s not well advertised. That being said most companies that make “custom” carriers/covers use their soft armor inserts as well have odd features or designs that don’t work well.if they don’t have their armor, they will need your soft armor measurements. In my area pretty much everyone wears Point Blank (newer models are leagues ahead of previous models) and BPS Tactical (small shop who outfits pretty much the entire state). Best bet for a legit custom vest tailored to your needs find a local tailor that is willing to do it. Lead time should be diminished and you’ll be supporting local business. Good luck.

Question for you, I purchased this plate carrier after a lot of research and your review. I was wondering if while wearing the plate carrier and shouldering a rifle, is the butt of it for you in your shoulder pocket or on one of the straps for the carrier. I’ve been trying to adjust mine and can’t seem to get it just right. When I shoulder my rifle the buttstock ends up on the carrier shoulder strap every time.
