Thank you to Retired Officer Eric for the cool old school Army holster. I was wanting just such a rig for riding in the mountains. Looking at the gear inspired me to take a photo.
Does anyone have an Plates for the vest? I still need the plates.

Are SAPI plates legal for civilian ownership? I’ve heard it both ways but no real “official” word.
In Utah – Yeah, they are fine.
You’re welcome Ogre. I’m glad it went to such a good home.
Love the Springer… arched MSH, lanyard ring, small sights.
Honestly, its hard to beat the stock traditional profile.
I had somewhat dismissed the as delivered to the gvmt form of the 1911, oh how mistaken I had been.
Lookin good George.

Thanks. That is very similar to a set up I had when I was in the service. It brings back some fond, and not so fond memories.
You really want the plates? They only weigh about 10 lbs each, for a guy your size. I wish I could help you out, but they are accountable items, and I can’t just make them disappear from the property book.
Thanks, Buzz… I have some plates on the way now. So it’s good. Yeah, they are a bit heavy but worth it if you need them. It was a plate that saved my bacon years ago. The bullet expended it’s energy in the plate, but still broke through it and the Kevlar under it stopped it. Had I not had plates in, the Kevlar would have been penetrated. As it was, I still had a cracked sternum.
