Hello all, if you guys have any pixs of Interceptors body armor, like ones with soldiers wearing them or contractors etc. I'd sure appreciate if you'll post them. Thanks in advance. TG |
Way to kool, thanks for the pixs, here a pix of mine,but I have a hugh recent gear purchases on the way from SDS, was a BD present to myself. 6 of these secure.specialtydefense.com/cgi-bin/sds/4050.html I like these pouches,but they only carry two mags each. Or 4 of these secure.specialtydefense.com/cgi-bin/sds/4070.html these are stackable in conjunction with ones above. 2 of these secure.specialtydefense.com/cgi-bin/sds/4130.html 4 0f these secure.specialtydefense.com/cgi-bin/sds/4010.html 1 of these back packs. secure.specialtydefense.com/cgi-bin/sds/S0001.html One of these carrier. secure.specialtydefense.com/cgi-bin/sds/4250.html 1 PAGST 3 point chin strap. secure.specialtydefense.com/cgi-bin/sds/2035.html Also have a bladder carrier and a thigh molle plat form coming as well,look to placed a molle handgun holster on it. These are the pouches Im looking to use on my Interceptor, also on my new back pack. These be here before thanksgiving.  TG |

I do appreciate the pictures posted so far, but could use some more, all the input that comes from these photos helps me & other who may be doing the same thing or considering a Interceptor. I went through four different molle plate carriers, before deciding on a Interceptor, I like the front opening vs side opening. Cause when pouches are loaded, it is hard as hell to fasten side fastex/buckles. Thanks. TG |

Ok, love the interceptor. HOWEVER, you should consider putting plates in the vest and all other attachments on a removable vest. The following pic are from my deployment and subsequent pics are from what I have learned from that. It is nice to drop the ammo and gear w/o taking of the plate carrier..... that being said.     and now  Over there I kept my pistol mags on the vest and room for 2 mag pouches on the left side, one on the right and the 1st aid kit on the back left. I kept both frags on the rt under my arm. When I moved to the 12ga, I put 4 pistol mag pouches on the vest (2 left and 2 right) and had the shotty full... Then we had a zippered pouch that held shells, or a dump pouch that held shells. If the shotty ran dry, the pistol was the go to weapon. We were in close, so a shotgun reload for anything other than breaching was not pertinent. here I keep 2 pistol magson the vest, then 4 rifle mags and then my dump pouch and then my misc gear in a radio pouch, and a frag pouch with a 123 bat. holder in it. On the rt I have a red led and a 3 single mag shingle. Each mag pouch on the rt has 2 powerbars in it. My tip is to keep all pouches low enough to rest your arms on when shooting. If you keep your weapon at the ready for an extended period, it is nice to have a stable platform to rest on. |

Hopefully my new gear be here by the first of this coming week, as you noticed I have a large assortment of pouches coming. I've been busy searching for interceptor pixs with pouches mount on them, alot of folks mount a LBV over their Interceptor, might end up doing that, but first will go with mounted pouches directly onto the Interceptor. Here one of the pixs I'd looked at, Im considering doing mine like this one, except I may try mounting a 3 mag shingle on each side & than add six double mag pouches on the stackable shingles itself, that be enough for 18 30rd mags,but I will only carry 12+1 30rd mags, can use other space for dump pouch or utility pouch.  Any how, will post pixs and reviews as work on the best arrangement for me,if you have insights and other pictures, it is much appreciated. Thanks for baring with me. TG |

Hi eggroll, it looks like a A2 sight under front handguard,probably just stored their since he appear to be using acog. Im, just trying to put together a decent molle vest with some protection, may never have a shtf or natural or unnatural event happen here in the US,but I just like having gear on hand. TG |

so you post this picture on LF asking the same question, and the rifle isnt yours? and yet you dont answer the question of what you are seeking to accomplish --- until you do, dont expect very much guidance and suggestion aside from the customary eye-roll and looks of confusion. that isnt a wellthought out answer, there had to be some sort of decision-suggestion-research chain that you went through to come up with this configuration. But the query for interceptor pics seems to indicate that this was not the case. Why this configuration vice an FLC over some concealable armor, or a bag with some "stuff", rather than a military issue setup up that after configured will be overweight and limit your range of functionality, have you tried this armor vest across a range of exercise and motion, Do you REALLY expect to be a firefight? |

I've tried four other molle carriers that fasten on the side, didnt care much for it, so I wanted to try a carrier that open from the front. I dunno eggroll, Im not a self appointed expert, that why I asked for help, shtf or what ever happens, could be invaders shooting to gain my goods or simply to dish out havac. Hell they might one day come for our guns and I'll choose to fight vs cowering, I like to stay on foot as long as possible. For what it is worth, yes I did serve as a 11B10, If I cant handle the weight, I would go a different route. I just posted a pix, to give myself and others the idea of what Im looking for, dont have to be a kill joy here or at other forums do yeah? That being said I do like gear & happen to buy alot.also trade and give away to those who dont have anything. I owned and operate a minuteman web site, it is survival,gun and gear related topics. Kinda like this web site, ar15.com is one of my favorite places,members here are pretty down to earth and share the same interest. If a man like something, he doesnt have to have a reason, he just does it. Some like collecting coins and stamps etc, any how, think & say what you will, not here to argue. TG |
<rant> Trying to bring the Lightfighter spirit of cheer and good fun over to Arfcom are we?  Listen up wannabe, fill out your profile completely and post an introduction and then maybe... Whoops, wrong forum.  Some of the shit I bought after I first took a couple of classes and had pistol and rifle mags stickin' out of my back pockets and in my socks was straight up idiotic. And that was AFTER I took a couple of classes. I'd wager that most here don't train at all and some of their first time posts are better than mine were! The bottom line is that it's a good idea to ask posters to be as specific as possible with what they are trying to accomplish so that they'll get more helpful answers. However, there's no reason to push it any further than that with questions that clearly are more designed towards implying that non military and law enforcement posters don't really "need" this or that. The point: Buy what you want, enjoy it for whatever reason YOU want. Ask clear questions if you WANT opinions and you'll get clear answers. Try not to question the legitimacy of of anyone's needs and wants. Being benevolently inquisitive and sharing your knowledge gracefully is the way to go. </rant> |
The military Interceptors are Point Blank tho

Forgot to make mention, my Conflict backpack came today, it is alot nicer than pictured. Will post a review once I have used it for awhile. Hopefully the rest of my new gear be here tomorrow. TG Just seen two Intercetpor for sell at assaultweb, med for $150, one large for $175. |
I have the original Point Blank interceptor but I replaced the cover with an SDS Coyote Brown cover. I only have kevlar inserts, I should pick up some plates.

I think there was some problem with the older interceptors, and one way to ID them was the inside of them was black. My old unit put out something about it, and just collected up all the IBA's with black insides and gave out new ones to those who needed them. I don't remember the exact issue, just thought this might be something you should be aware of. |

Thanks for the heads up dskeet, do you have a link to this issue mention? I have looked high & low and havent found anything mention. I did see where the newer Interceptor has molle straps all the way accrose chest area. I have also seen post, where Interceptor owners had additional straps sewed on. Also seen the tactical tailor buckle kit. TG |

Fits me good in airsoft good, but it is in this way not good for real advance. |

I'd got a complete RACK & pouches yesterday, instead of mounting the pouches onto the RACK, I decided to mount pouches onto the Interceptor, still have plenty pouches,but no room. Im still waiting on the rest of my pouches, theyle be here next week, so I'll probably just mount them on the RACK. Also have additional pouches that I'll be mounting onto the SDS Conflict back pack and some for my first line molle belt. Still working on this, but this is what I've come up with so far.  TG |
