Well, just ordered Ruger RPR in 6.5C to go with Ruger Predator 6.5C. Could not resist the deal.  The compliant Ruger PC are not released yet.  The big distributors should have the free state versions by now.  Some have sold out alreadty.  Demand is very high. 

Remington has announced a precision rifle as well, supposed to be released mid 2018, street priced under 1K.

Customizable levels of protection + lightweight is what appeals to me.

Lightweight is good, and this armor is pretty lightweight - for each part. Together, it’s seems comparable to other armor out there. 

Personally, I just don’t understand the need to customize the level of protection - especially when it’s uncomfortable hard armor to more uncomfortable hard armor.

Are you going to plus up in the middle of a gunfight when the bad guys grabs a rifle? Are you going to remove a plate in the middle of a gunfight?

it doesn’t just snap to the outside. You have to pull the armor out of the carrier, attach the second plate, and put the armor back into the carrier. This is not a quick process. Who isn’t just going to place the two plates together, insert them into the carrier and leave it?

If you are going to wear hard armor, why not just wear rifle rated? You can get soft armor that stops pistol rounds and is much more comfortable, and covers more of your body.

The product they make that I do like is a rifle rated speed plate that goes in the trauma plate pocket of your soft armor carrier. That is useful.

Decibulls has a new "Filter" hearing pro set that remains open until a shot is fired - kinda like electronic earmuffs but with better NRR Protection (NRR 31)

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
