Two Is One, One Is None

This is a very affordable soft body armor solution and it is Made In USA. The Defender series from US Palm offers a variety of models but we prefer the Defender 308 which provides pouches for three (3) .308 magazines and three (3) pistol magazines. The Defender provides level IIIA protection in an easy-to-use package. While the base unit only provides front panels, you can purchase a soft rear panel and the Defender also works as a plate carrier too. For the price there is almost nothing like the Defender series which offers a practical entry-level package for everyone. There is no excuse to not have body armor with kit like this available!

This is a great chest rig on sale from SpecOps – you save $100 from regular price. The Military Operations On Urban Terrain rig holds eight (8) M-16/AR-15, 30 round magazines in double-spaces pouches that are sewn directly to the rig. The entire harness is lightweight, easily donned and fully adjustable to be worn with or without body armor. And all SpecOps products are Made In USA and backed by a solid lifetime warranty. Order two now before they are gone!

We use the SLAP Sling Plate on our AR-15s, so we can personally attest to the quality and usability of this product. The SLAP plates are waterjet cut from carbon steel, so the machining is very high quality. And because they are a single, solid unit they do not jingle like many similar products (uh, Magpul). The attach point works equally well with most sling attachments or 1″ webbing. Mounting is as simple as stock change and take only a few minutes. One word of warning – we found that the SLAP abraded our thumb due to positioning so we wear gloves or just build calluses!
