this would go double if i was toting AR mags (triple if they're USGI's) - no way i'm sitting my fat ass down on one in the pocket.
and if i've got pistol mags in the pocket, where does the AR mag go? better to have a belt set up with the gear you need that mimics the way you'd actually carry.
if we're going to go to the expense of LW barrels, et al. b/c we get all tuckered out during class, it's not too much of a leap to think we'd also go with low-pro, LW carriers for support gear.
or, if we want to prep for active-shooter/home-invasion, we should train with some kinda go-bag. pocket carry isn't any better than flip-flops.
as to PC's, have you been to a drills night or level 1 class lately? they should be handed out at the door...
just b/c of that i'm probably going to get a slick PC. Perhaps a BFG PlateMinus to keep my options open.
after all, if i'm ever actually in need of an AR, i'm probably in need of a PC, too.
