Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone could give me some good websites to shop for some tactical gear. I'm not really sure of where to go....I'm looking for a plate carrier in particular. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!! :)

+1 on Grey Group. GREAT inventory. They have a lot to choose from. +1 on the SOHPC. Very nice piece of kit and well liked by all who use it. Also Check out the Mayflower plate carriers. Super nice and light weight. I have a SOHPC and I'm going to be buying a Mayflower rig soon. I'm running some of their pouches now and love them. They have a plate carrier that you can dock their chest rig to, both are very nice and well thought out..

Tactical Tailor has a new plate carrier called the Low Profile Armor Carrier (LPAC) that I have tried on in their retail store and it is really light and comfortable.

I've been dealing with the owner of SKD Tactical (http://www.skdtac.com/Default.asp?Redirected=Y) since before SKD Tactical was formed. Fantastic guy, unbelievable customer service (even if you don't know the owner :cool:), and some really innovative gear. They're well known for coming up with improved, tweaked versions of major manufacturers' gear and selling it exclusively.

Big +1 for www.SKDtac.com
I've been referring the guys at work to them. I like their ordering system; if it isn't in stock; you can't select it.

Don't forget about ATS Tactical (http://www.atstacticalgear.com/cgi/commerce.cgi?display=home), Blue Force Gear (http://www.blueforcegear.com/), and Diamondback Tactical (http://www.diamondbacktactical.com/), in addition to the others already noted.

BFG doesn't do plate carriers, but they have other necessities.

+1. I've been running the HEV from Tactical Tailor which is pretty much the LPAC with a cummerbund and its a great carrier. It isn't designed for BALCS armor, but will take soft armor and plates. Good alternative to a CIRAS type setup if you don't have the BALCS armor. Can't say whether it will work well with just plates though, I run it with both.
