    Ok great info guys. Thanks for sharing. I don't feel so bad now. Although ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain, I'm glad I went with the AR500 plates. I've shot the shit out of my AR500 targets with all my weapons at CLOSER than recommended ranges and they have held up well. I bought a plate carrier and plates to have the best protection available to me for the long term. I'll gladly tote the extra 2 pounds for the knowledge that I'm wearing as good as it gets that I can afford. Plus I bet the First Spear carrier is lighter than the average bear so I'd like to weigh plates and carrier when I get mine and do a comparison. I'll bet the difference isn't all that much.

    There's no such thing as plates being too heavy. You're just either in a high gravity zone or you're sipping on weak sauce.

    Yeah, I'd rather lug the weight of the plates than the bullet, and you easily convinced me steel > ceramic, but if there is a lighter steel option that offers the same protection................

    Wish I had plates to put in it.
