    Default Plate sizing question?

    I've been thinking about getting at PC and some plates for quite a while now and since the ban talk is starting I've decided to pick some up before there's a shortage. I'm not expecting the ban to pass but just the talk of a ban gets people buying (just like me).

    I'm trying to figure out plate sizing and it looks like I need XL, I wanted to bounce the question off those of you who know a lot more than me before I spend the money.

    I'm 6'1" and ~220lbs, my measurements for top of sternum to bottom is 12" and nip to nip is about 11.125. I'm working on getting in better shape but my chest isn't flappy and I don't see those measurements changing by much at all.

    On a side not, does anyone have experience with buying from AMI with a CCW? Looks like it's questionable if they'll sell to non LE/Mil.

    Does that mean you're offering to buy them for me and resell them at a slight markup?

    Sorry about that, I was just giving him crap since his post didn't add anything to the conversation.

    no can do. I'm just glad I don't have to jump through those hoops.

    AR500Armor.com has cheap stuff that's decent quality.
