TacticalDoodle and I take it to the Bunker to offer you up a cost effective and yet xlnt Plate Carrier option: the GFire.  Tested in hard use X4 Ops, this GFire carrier is comfortable and well made.  Well under $100 offered in tan, black, and OD at time of review.  Many US made options reviewed here are well over $250 just for the vest; add in body amor and pouches and you'll have a $1000 plate carrier!  The links below show you how to avoid that high cost.   Probably short-lived so you might want to get it while they're being offered!

More gear reviews Nutn! Update gloves video would be awesome

Todd Strelka

I don't watch football after eating Thanksgiving dinner, so I'll watch this later. I could use a plate carrier and some armor.

Ryan Reese

Dude, hope you and the family are doing well. Been praying for you guys. 🤙

Greg Malcom

Happy Thanksgiving Nutnfancy family!!

Dan Casey

Been waiting for this review! Saw your post on Twitter and already bought one. Still need to break it in.

Bernt Ryggs

Excellent vid, Nutn! I geared up on a condor rig on your recommendation way back in the day. Still run it, still love it

Guardian

Agilite is having a black Friday sale. They have two nice carriers for about 200. Those are out of Israel, and they have nice upgrades. Like better load bearing, ventilation, and quick disconnect. It’s hard these days to avoid Chinese products, because the cost is low and some products really perform well.

Bill The Broken

Nutn great to see - I bought the EXACT rig in fde last month! For the price, man I don't think it can be beat. Thanks for the confirmation!

Tom Small

3a plates stop handgun rounds only. AR500 has buy one get one sale for level 3 and 3+. Thanks for the video!

Kelly Mcclellan

I have a vest from chase tactical. It’s level 4. Currently it only has the ability to carry three AR mags. I’m not sure what else I need to put on it.

Jeremy Gontarz

Just bought a tan one hopefully it will blend well with jeans and a t-shirt for camouflage in urban setting. Trying not to stick out like a sore thumb.

Edward mcclure

Condor does make a horizontal holster, called the “HT” I think. It’s got molle straps for mounting. It is however, a universal style holster.

Josh Payne

Says he doesnt want to say a price when the price is on a sticker in the middle of the vest lol

David and Elizabeth

Looks like fantastic value for money. Thanks for the video to watch after our Thanksgiving dinner. 👨‍👩‍👧❤

Trey

Hey Nutn seen on Twitter you got the Rona get well soon buddy and great video.

T Boy

Bought one from tweet. About to order a second for the fam. Great fit for all sizes.

david rockwell

Preparation reduces anxiety and while providing time to assess changing environment. Defensive items like plate carrier/armor assist with the first rule of survival; do not get shot. Thank you for the continued effort and dedication.

Cyborg009

Thanks for the review. This has always been a low priority but at the price could not be resisted.

NRStreak

Great vid!! Nutn, have you thought of setting up an email list to keep your followers updated on things if the censorship gets crazy?

The Nutnfancy Project

Thanks, yep I got Corona, had some bad cold symptoms, some fluid in the lungs but not too bad. Thanks!

Rob B

I’ve separated my systems according to threat level, but differently from Nutn’s style. I’m fairly thin so my LBE real estate is limited as compared to some of my larger TNP brothers. I have to spread items around vertically. I prefer my pistol on a belt with its 3 spare mags, 1 M4 mag, & an IFAK. I keep 4 M4 mags on my plate carrier w/ a Rat 1 and not much else. I can use just the belt, just the carrier, or both.

Clint Raby

Bought this off of the link in the video of you and Mrs. Nutn testing knifes in the mountains. Still working on outfitting it but I really like it. Thanks again Nutn!

Jeremy Gontarz

Will do just trying to keep my head up and hope this doesn't get to much worse before it gets better. Pay check to pay check just got a little cash to spend on more gear. Plates are next in a week or so.

Devin Heald

Aside from the political environment right now how does one spin the need to have a LBE system to the wife? lol thanks

Rob B

Hey Tom, I have a set of 3+ plates and a set of level IV ceramic. Of the two, the ceramic is much lighter & more comfortable. However, if price is an issue, don’t hesitate to get the 3+ plates. They really are excellent for the money. I would suggest trauma pads to fit behind them to make them more comfortable to wear and to help fill up the carrier pocket a little better. Cheers.

Robert Avery

Appreciate the review and enjoyed this video instead of more NFL kneelers today. Happy Thanksgiving to TNP.

David M Behsman

Tell your wife that it will help consummate your marriage. At least it kind of works for my uncle.

Ruben Lopez

TD, there's nothing in my rear, let alone a radio!!! But I am always packing upfront, a long barrel!

Guy Actual

Picked up a ranger green version... As I don't live in the desert...

Josh

I grabbed a green one as I live in the ozarks. Nice price.

Ed Klonowski

Thanks NUTN, gave me the drive to get a vest for the wife as well as round my vtac vest out. Finally “squared away”. Thanks

Drew Cox

Just bought mine last night. I saw the Twitter post, so I placed it in my Amazon cart. Recently started a new contract job that has me really needing a vest now, so that's that! Thanks Nutn and TD. Good to see y'all!

Andrettski

I just dove in for the black carrier because I may end up downtown Portland so I'll have a "PRESS" patch on the front and back that way the BLM/Protifa freaks pass me by. Get well Nutn.

Foghorn

Yup.. Bought one for the son to use with some III plates... I've got some AR500 plates but dang it will be heavy... but he's young and fit... Great suggestion.

Flying W

Curious how Mrs Nutn fared since she's presumably on HCQ for her RA. Try some of hers if she can spare it and if it's not already passed. Seems to work everywhere else in the world! Get better soon bro!

Ronald RayGun

Ordered one in green....2nd cool

Racing Psychosis

If you cannot pick up a good color for your region, don't be afraid to rattle can that thing with some other more fitting colors.

Red dog 1

Botach says they have things in stock...... but not so much. They had slow service prior to COVID, BLM and the election. I’ve been waiting on an order for months. I will give you that they have good prices. But how long does one have to wait.

Mark Hansen

Thanks again, Nutn and Doodle. Just ordered one in OD green. Should be here today! Going to set it up similar to that w/IIIA's. Stay safe and be well!! --Mark

TheSaltySouthpaw

Just bought a condor rig for the same price at a local gun show here in Ohio. From what I see both rigs are exactly the same. Good stitching. Both made in China. So don’t feel bad about buying this one, you’re basically buying a condor.

Ryan

Also fits 11x14 Botach hard plates too.

Cali Carrier

Two Plate carriers for $130!? Sold!

Josh P.

I need plate a carrier but I have for now the condor chest rig and I've pretty happy with it. I believe it was $35 and that was step one. Now I'm getting more serious with my system Hopefully ill never need body armor but if I do then I'll have it. Stay safe and healthy out there guys. God Bless

Josh P.

Where In The ozarks??

Josh

Greater Springfield area

Jack Farmer

Picked this up on your recommendation but wanting to see if you could walk through your setups? YouTube if full of Tacticool BS that just throws crap on their rigs for clicks.

Dan

AR500 armor has a pretty good holster option for horizontal orientation.

Josh P.

🤣🤣🤣nice strat Bretti.

Josh P.

Nice to see a Missourian here. I lived in Springfield 4 years, moved for work between como and stl last year. Much more rual.

Flying W

When ordering multiple SKU's all it takes is 1 out of stock to hold up the whole thing. Try cancelling and then reordering, limiting ea order to 1 or 2 SKU's. Costs more for shipping but less likely to get stuck.

John S

I got mine in the mail yesterday (Nov 28), ordered it the day before for $65.10. When I saw the video go live to everyone outside of Patreon, I was curious to see if they were sold out....not yet, but they did raise the price $10 on the three colors!!!

Drake Tilson

Hey Nutn, I’d love to see a video on your thoughts about AR500 armor. There’s a lot of hate on the inter webs about AR500... but I honestly think it’s a bunch of tactical elitists. Lots of torture test videos show their level III steel plate armor stopping rifle rounds well beyond what the armor is rated for. I think this is a super affordable option for rifle rated armor, and would love to see a bunker review on it, considering the rise of civil unrest and people taking violence to the streets.

Drake Tilson

My wife is totally on board with preparation. We literally have a “defense” category built into our monthly budget. She and I both have plate carrier with SAPI plates.

Red dog 1

The down side is the weight. Super affordable. SAWC

Sixbrix

Price is right, but it is made in China. Please think twice before supporting the CCP while defending freedom.

Kirk Fickert

Steel armor had its time and place, but I think that has passed. It was a relatively inexpensive option in the days of $600 per ceramic plate and steel had an indefinite shelf life. So if you bought it and stored it away for 20 years hoping it never had to be used. But you need trauma pads or a IIIA backer and a spall bag. But it's not 2015 anymore either. When you factor in the costs of extras you can get a set of HESCO 4401's for about the same amount of money, maybe even less. The 4401's were going for around $300 a set, probably closer to $350 - $400 when they aren't back ordered. And there is similar armor available from other manufactures as well at similar prices.

Kirk Fickert

I ordered some level IV plates back in May. They've been listed as "in stock" twice since then including once with a count of 186 available. My order with BOTACH is listed as still pending. The only good thing is that they don't charge until things actually ship. There's a reason why they are banned from /r/gundeals.

Kirk Fickert

Well at least you have Benchrest somewhat close by.

Chris carr

Great vid NUTN! Hey gents I’m having a hard time picking a new pistol for the wife. NEED HELP. My wife tiny, suffers from anxiety, but enjoys shooting. My pistols g30 1911s G43 m&p pro 9mm and many revolvers. She likes the g43. But other guns are to big bulky or to hard to rack the slide. Purpose for new gun is RWOL. I’m kinda set on 9mm due to I know she can handle it. Would like to find something 15 round capacity if can. I know this has nothing to do with the video but as far as the internet this is the only platform I trust opinions.

Henry06x

I got the flyye JPC for $75 (looks like they are over $100 now) right when the riots started to have one in the back of my SUV so I could keep my other carrier in the house. Has good reviews and seems like solid construction. Anyone else try one out? Haven’t ran around with it much but feels comfy and is pretty low profile. Running thinner trauma pads and the carrier slick to keep from standing out if I needed to throw it on and get out of somewhere and I can easily throw a hoodie or jacket over it.

Mike Breckenridge

I’m kind of a Confederate. So I’m accustomed to using captured gear... Great LBE option; thanks Nutn and TD!

Cyborg009

If you don’t need the plate carrier capability I strongly encourage everyone to look at the modular vest’s cousin which is less than $50, has fixed mag and shot shell pouches, a removable MOLLE holster, and a belt with two pistol mag pouches. I bought both.

Matthew Kale

Has anyone tried out the Condor Vanquish carrier? I'm debating between the one in the vid and the Vanquish.

Tacticaldoodle

I'd go condor, more known quantity and they'll be around for sure. This GloryFire/Gfire company may bounce or fold, like so many listings on there. For mainline use I'd want something at least somewhat hard wearing and premium that I can use for a couple decades, then go downscale from there.

Josiah Pierce

Just bought the GFire in tan. Impressed with the quality and weight.

Casey Jones

Nutn, I just bought a condor horizontal pistol holster for LBE. Unless you were talking about something else. Great review, thanks for the info. Definitely an option if I can’t find a condor LBE.

Bluegill097

I love watching TNP videos on subjects that I know nothing about so I can get learnt up! Good info

Matt P

Looks very similar to a Lapg carrier I own. In case their out of stock on Amazon.

Sheepdog

I live close enough to an amazon fulfillment center that I watched this video this morning, paused the video and and ordered, and received and set this LBE up this evening. What a value! I paid $65.90 and can't believe they can deliver this level of quality for such a low price. I also picked up 2 double M4 / AR15 mag pouches and 2 double pistol magazine pouches and they were great quality too they are OneTigris brand also very reasonably priced and high quality. As usual with gear you review and recommend Nutn I'm <b>very</b> happy with this kit.

Joey

Has anyone who owns this vest had any issues with the front velcro (map) pocket opening up when you have loaded mags attached (kangaroo style)? Its only held closed by velcro and sparse snaps, I worry that the pocket will loosen and not secure after wear sets in!

David Spinks

This looks like the Condor MOPC. Can anyone confirm if they are or are not the same thing?
