Plate sizing question?

[th3w01f]

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.

If weights not a factor, buy a few AR500 plates from Banks / AAtargets? bed liner them, save a few $$$$

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

You have no idea how funny that comment is to the staff.

Ar500 armor, has the best prices and has some killer package deals going right now. Make sure to get curved plates with the extra build up. Ar500 plates are the way to go there heavy but rock solid and not fragile. Just my 2 cents for what its worth.

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