Yeah the reason that it took the ATF guy so long to try and strip the Glock it was because it had a switch on it and when they have a switch on it they do not come apart how they normally do. That's why he was able to pick up the other Glock and take it apart just in a couple of seconds but it still shows how they don't know what the hell they're talking about. Like a lot of other people.

By no means am I an expert. I just spent some time in the military and have an interest in stuff like this so here are some tips. 1 the pistol mags on the plate carrier should be replaced with some rifles mags I would say keep the pistol mags if you had anything besides a mark 18 but the portability/mobility of that rifle will work for almost any circumstance (great choice) 2 you said you have wife or kids I don’t know what other stuff you have stashed in your truck or if you have supplies at home but maybe some food supplies for 2-3 days for one or two people would be worth investing in. 3 being said about the food more importantly you need water weather it’s a empty canteen or a full water filtration system you need something for water maybe a life straw or what I carry is an empty canteen and sawyer mini it’s worked before and very efficient 4 you need a flint and steel or some fire starting method but honestly nothing beat a flint and steel 5 lock picking set. Self explanatory 6 map of the area/compass or gps 7 cash in small bills I keep probably 1,000 in 5s 10s & 20s no larger bills In no way are these in order. The hearing protection is something I never thought of and will be adding to mine and I just want to say the radios are something most people forget (including me for a while) but good on you for adding it. But again I am no expert and overall your pack is very effective and light just wanted to give some lightweight tips that should help.
