I'm now eyeballing the First Spear AAC. It looks like a good PC and the fact the First Spear is apparently the old Eagle crew makes me warm and fuzzy.

It states in the description that it is for Swimmer Cut or ESAPI/Spear Cut ballistic plates. My understanding is that swimmer cut and ESAPI/SPEAR are completely different cuts. Does that mean that this carrier will accept both Swimmer and ESAPI? Is ESAPI and SPEAR the same cut?

What are some trusted brands and vendors of Level III standalone plates? From the research I've done it should probably be a special threat plate as well as steel core 7.62 and M855 abounds. I feel like the odds of encountering M855 by chance are overwhelming good as anyone who is going to walk into a gun shop and buy 5.56 has fairly good odds of picking up M855 without even knowing what it is.
