All,

(But Primarily for Crompsin

)

Thanks for all the great advice (Cromp & Slims, thank u so much again), here's what I got:

(Found a MSA MICH for a great deal--couldn't pass it up. It even comes w/ Oregon Aero pads! =D).

Ceramic Plates: Level IV standalone

I have it thrown in to an Airsoft Plate Carrier. Functions well for now....let's hope the PC doesn't snap and break at my next Carbine Course.

Battle Bra Slung on: (Was showing a guy how the sling can go muzzle up over my back)

Concealable Vest: Level II (Safariland Police Surplus)

Snapped a pic after my first range trip w/ the level II

=======================

The Level II is not as concealable as I'd like--namely the vest juts out around my shoulder-blades, making it *very* apparent when I lean forward (i.e. studying late at the lbrary).

Also, the level II is *HOT*. Need hydration after wearing it indoors, even more so when underneath clothing and indoors. Gah.

I'm very satisfied w/ the PC and the plates. Comfortable, and I feel secure knowing that some asshat with poor muzzle discipline won't be able to kill me.

Went with a split-vest set up (instead of an all in one like a CIRAS) because I wanted to wear the level II concealable more often, and throw on the plates if I went to the range. (I have a BH low-vis carrier).

Vest: Brand new: $310. Plates: $540. Carrier: $50. (MultiCam Carrier was $125 with Pouches...good deal).

Security: priceless

.

Only worry now is that the level II vest isn't worn nearly as much as I'd like. Meh. Anyone got any concealment tips? Duct tape? (That seems so bubba and uncomfortable....so probably NO.)

Concealed:
