Today we talk about plate carrier setups for civil unrest. AKA, not a rig you're likely to use anywhere other than your home city, and likely.......alone. The primary carrier being discussed is the Agilite K19. Agilite is an Israeli company, and while I had prior not been familiar with them...I must say...they make a phenomenal plate carrier.
What is the 1911 Syndicate? We do a few things. We started out as a real estate company primarily targeted at serving the military/LE/shooting/hunting communities. Consider it our "day job" and we can serve you pretty much anywhere in the USA. Next we're a content producer. We kind of fell into it semi by accident, and here we are today. We try to do things a little different and have some fun. Thanks for tuning in. - Развлечения
As somebody who's first experience with plate carriers were military issued ones, I have to say that the K19 has to be one of if not my most favorite plate carrier. It's just so unbelievably comfortable that I just can't get over it sometimes. The first day I had it I fitted it and wore it to see how long before it got uncomfortable, and ended up wearing it for seven whole hours. I did have to take it off because I was going to a party and didn't want to look really "special" because of it.
Edit: Thought it would be funny… and it was. Certified comfortable enough to sleep in, even with an AMAP III, front/back/side plates, and even a placard system. Only problem was that my feet kept getting cold.
BUT have you slept in it. Please do and report back on how it went
@@1911syndicate Haven’t slept in it yet, but when sitting down/laying down it’s comfortable enough where I could definitely knock out in it.
I work 2nd shift in Chicago, I wear one driving home every night on my 25 mile commute. $300 lvl4 budget rig, protects me more than a paper mask ever will.
No shit? That’s kick ass man plus you vouching for it having spent that much time in one especially sitting during the commute is a solid review 👊🏻
Somewhere some liberal is trying to justify calling you some sort of phobic since you said paper masks don’t work. Probably transphobic but they’ve gotta figure out how to make that stretch.
Forks also make poor straws
I hope its not steel plates..
Stay strapped my friend
watched numerous civilian pate carrier videos and this one makes more sense that any other video out there. Keeping it simple. Most other videos you'd think they were preparing for a war. This gives me a ton of info. THANKS!
Agreed
Hearing protection during “civil unrest” is a great idea because of sirens, megaphone’s and sometimes police/military use those high frequency emitters.
Another great video and review guys!! 👍🏼
@911syndicate, is this legit or some fake account scam BS???
I keep a little kit in my grip on my rifle 🤷🏼♂️ lube, ear buds & a extra firing pin
@@Doorkicker0351 come on marine be smarter
Agree on the need for a helmet. Last summer was a good example of why. I'd also add a smaller handheld HAM radio for possible ability to listen in on first responder talk/call for help. Throw in a small GMRS radio for a second party if needed. Some water purification tablets wouldn't be the worst idea. Small thing of TP wipes and change of socks would top it off.
Team Wendy hope they drop in price. Wilcox mounts so expensive need to have incredible amounts of discretionary income and savings just to get them.
@@laturista1000 Get a Norotos, cheaper than Wilcox but still real good
I also recently purchased an Agilitie K19 v3 plate carrier. I Love it. It is so comfortable and super easy to as you say don and doff. Great video guys 👏👏👏 Keep up the good work
Yessir! Glad you scored one
To the point and honest! Great video and thanks for sharing!
I have the original Banshee carrier. Fkn Covid purchase I purchased the original K19 and S S 119 both solid carrier but the Agilite is the most comfortable.
Thanks for the video. Not at all the topic but find myself thinking I may throw a small pry bar on my kit now. Lots of simple 12-16” prybars at Home Depot that could give you a huge advantage. Better than nothing.
I have the Equate brand of that load out. I did ditch steel for ceramic, so I have that going for me... Which is nice...
Been running that for a couple years. Agilite is 🔥
civilan plate carrier vids are a hit right now....good timing my guys.
Let us rise!!!
Might I suggest the Lishi lockpick tool? You can get one for both Schlage style keyways and Kwikset, very common house locks, and requires minimal knowledge to use
I understand just falling in love with a specific carrier. I have others, but my favorite is still a Crye JPC 2.0 maritime. Nobody is going to change that, and I'm not adverse to using others. It's just my favorite.
I just got the V2 K19. My Javlin Concepts AJAC is still my most comfortable and modular, but the K19 is definitely second! You should check Javlin Concepts out! They're top loading plate carriers as well. Roll 1 ifak from Forward Observation Group is a game changer for ifak donning Great review Boys! 🤘🏼
Glad to see this video finally. I really like my K19
As a fan of the channel I purchased a vest and am very pleased with the quality of the product. But OMG. Three AR 10 mags, four 2011 mags, level 4 plates back and front, and level three on sides. This old man needs back in the gym!!!
I run a similar minimalist setup. Spiritus LV119 with their triple mag placard, a TQ and Hesco L210s.
I’m thinking about getting a Team Wendy or Opscore bump for the reasons mentioned in the video.
Definitely more videos like this!! Loved it! I’m 16 years LEO and last 7 I’ve been in a high speed unit. You’re set up is spot on
Well thought out, great info guys.
I know there are a million things you can add to your kit but if you charge your phone never, like my wife does, it’s a good idea to add a portable USB battery to keep your phone up and running or to recharge a flashlight. A phone will be your primary get home comms and an intel source most likely.
Phones wont be working when the lights go out bud
@@fearlessleader8623 they will if you have your own coms grid set up. An example would be a LORA device with a mesh network setup.
been looking for a new plate carrier with certain features and price range for a few days and just bit the bullet on this one during the memorial day sale. should arrive tomorrow. If this doesn't cut what I'm looking for I might have to bubba one together and do some custom stitching to make what I'm looking for
It's the most comfortable carrier I've ever owned. I wish though I would have waited for the latest version. I like the quick detach tubes...just not on my strong side shoulder. The newest version the K5 has the slick buckles to make it easier to shoulder your rifle.
Same here....but the thing is,either they are doing this on purpose,revealing their changes one by one with couple of months in between,either you and I will never be satisfied wanting the latest and greatest every time....watch Thin Line Defense Co video...they said that even the cummerbund will change to accommodate whatever cummerbund we will want....so you see,they know and listen to customers, but, they are "calculating" every release/improvement
They discontinue k5 and only sell k zero and k19
I work out in my K19 because it's just that comfortable. The one thing I'll say is that the cummerbund design is amazing and I love it but it's not that great at being loaded up with gear because of the minimal design. Supposedly the Warfighter cummerbund they're dropping for the K Zero will be backwards compatible with the K19 but currently I don't see how that's possible unless either it has some weird design trick or you have to use an addon they either provide or sell. We'll find out in May when it launches
I also saw a really cool mod for the AMAP pack that allows you to keep the straps connected while still using the shoulder strap tiedowns so you can have a super solid connection but still be able to ditch your carrier pretty quickly and still keep your bag, you basically just add in another of that little plastic piece on each side. I personally think I would do it with clips or g hooks instead to make it even faster, but I'll link the original if I can find it.
Great topic. Thought provoking.
Agilite is top notch I got the k19 absolutely love it
K19 is so versatile and super comfortable...love it...guess the secrets out
Very cool rig I will say that. Jake said it was ridiculously comfortable multiple times throughout the day while shooting
The new k-19 comes with kit to do away with quick connect on shooting shoulder to make it flat and easier to shoulder rifle now.
Chris thanks on your comments about a helmet, you opened up my eyes to something I wasn't thinking about.
Hey man sometimes just sometimes I have a good idea. It just made sense to me 🤷🏼♂️
It was a good point indeed
Truly a Killer intro. In my minds eye I see Jake in a Wingsuit and GoPro shooting that slot.
I know you’ll fuck it up for me and tell me it was a Drone.
Your scenery shots are epic.
This kit appears well thought out. I would use it.
I keep a very similarly equipped PC in my vehicle.
I would reasonably assume that anyone serious about getting home in one piece, in event of a “Civil problem” would as well.
Excellent vid.
Can confirm Jake was indeed in a wing suit filming the opening shots.
Haha thank you for watching and thank you for the comment dude. Seriously though crispy is killin these edits.
Wing suit. That’s correct
Great video as always
Good lightweight setups 👍🏻
Just 2 average guys on the way home from a hard day at work, and the Karens start to go at it with the LGBQRTZ'S. Rocks are flying, the pink dust/ glitter bombs start to go off. No one is safe.
Your setup guys looks legit for civil unrest. Maybe back off on the extra mags in pack and put in a bladder. That K19 pack has a spot for it. I'd rather have extra water to get home than leave a trail of bodies to my house. When you get home, like you say ditch the bag and your slick, to defend the home front. I'd also have an oversized light coat to cover the whole deal if you have to ditch the vehicle. One could be rolled up and strapped to the bottom of the K19 bag, it has provisions for it. Great vid guys. I ordered a K 19 / 3.0 with the bag and dangler a couple of days before I saw your vid. Going to drop the Tasmanian Tiger MK111 Plate carrier. Not a fan of the quick release cable system on it. But like you guys it's for civil unrest/ home front defense. To old to run anywhere.
Always had multiple handguns and thought it was enough. But after living in Chicago forever. Legitly thought city was gonna fall during 2nd night of riots after seeing CPD surrounded blocks away from our place and our street getting thrashed. After moving states, def made me rethink what I'm gonna need. This seems like a great KISS plate carrier setup.
I was gifted a Safe life concealable 3A vest during 2020. I'd like for it to have molle straps on it but whatever. Not really in a safe area to keep any gear in my truck besides a bugout bag, without a firearm, I do have a edc. Knowing I at least have that vest is comforting especially with everything going on. I can easily throw the vest on if need be. 🤙🏼🇺🇲 🤷🏼♂️ I also with my get backpack had a plate in it but I'm to poor & I need to buy my gear in stages
Great plate carrier well spent money
Check out AXL Advanced. They make all sorts of goodies but their battery holder is what I’m running. Holds 2, 18650s, 18650 + 2 18350’s etc along with a few 2032’s for your red dots.
He's also on patreon has a lot of educational videos totally badass like just I'm taking notes
I'm surprised, since you are a left handed shooter, you haven't tried a Stag Arms Lefty AR-15 yet. Good video guys! Keep up the good work!
There’s just no need. It would be an entirely new manual of arms.
The bump helmet is something a lot of guys over look. And the tactical Terrie’s say, why not a ballistic?! Well, in civil unrest, you’re gonna want to be light, hence the non full battle rattle. Getting hit with a brick or bat will be more worrisome and practical, not rounds down range. Also, it’s not like you’re gonna be running nods or any other helmet gear, just something to keep you from catching a Reginal Denny case (old guys remember). Bump helmets are cheap and you can use it for other purposes, recreational. Biking, run into a “mostly peaceful” protest? You’re covered! Anyway, good job guys. As the great philosopher and pimp, Ice Berg Slim says, stay ready and you don’t have to get ready.
Thanks for sharing
Love my Agilite equipment. Been running a few years. Great stuff…comfy too. Hope I don’t ever need it but……
I'm using that gear and love it. But hard to find 1911 mag pouches for pc
@ironinfidel making an appearance in the background!
I wear mine for work with an HRT placard and side plates. Best one yet, even better when you have a camelbak.
Glad to see someone else think that this Agilite carrier is good for minimalist setup. Do they have a regular cumberbund with integrated pockets and external molle? Those QD buckles and their adjustability delete real estate.
Mmmm I don’t think they do
I have had low profile get home bag rigs now for 10 years that are easily worn but dont look like armor--- my get home bags rigs are Leatherback Gear 3a and Citizen RTG 3a both are great and low profile---
Citizen is way cool but $$$$ Leatherback is cheaper but looks a lil dorky when worn as a "carrier"
either are upgraded to "hard" armor if you are inclined for more protection
during the Pandemic first 6 months including the "summer or love riots" I wore daily British police level 2 vest that looks more like outdoor vest- as has regular pockets etc--- stab proof as well----easiest low profile armor that is easily worn all day
Interesting. I love the idea of a Get Home rig, but if shit was about to go sideways, I still wonder if walking around in this sort of gear gets me shot by authorities. Did y'all consider anything that's low-vis? Are there low-vis plate carriers that are worth a crap?
There's actually a company called Bulletproof Zone that makes sport coats, hoodies, and other "civilian" clothing with soft armor panels sewn in. Might be a good option for covert protection.
Spiritus Systems LV119 Covert is relatively simple and slim, with Hesco L210 plates. You can wear it under a hoodie or jacket and most people would never notice.
Anything tactical looking will draw attention, check out some of the stuff safe life defense has. The fras is pretty sweet and the have concealable stuff too.
Trex AC1 Can be scaled down to slick and scaled up to semi heavy rig
I think the same way, if you are out there in the public, keep low profile, the more militaristic you look the more you will attract attention from the cops. Remember the Army and police were disarming civilians in Louisiana in the aftermath of the hurricane.
Cool video thanks.
Love my K-19!!!
I didn't say it but that last video with the 1911's was amazing.
🤙🏻
Tacticon has an identical carrier for half the price. I'm assuming they're made in the same place. Def. a nice carrier!
Just picked one up a couple months ago. Great content as always!
🍻
I got this carrier because it's battle proven. But I have the hardest time shouldering my rifle. I don't feel like I get a solid shouldering and my arms get tired quick trying to compensate
If you have braces without rubber, it will slide easily.
While I like the idea and concept behind your reason why, only thing I don’t agree with and can see it being an issue is the fact your back bag is attached and less easy to get off if you are alone. If with a team or one other person sure, but I feel a back pack would be easier and still do the same. One other thing I would add is a note pad pen and pencil.
The bag he was showing also comes with shoulder straps. A guy if alone could always run it that way if you were of the mind set you needed to get quick access to it by yourself.
If you slide a Sharpie in with your tourniquet you will have something to write the time of application.
Am currently a special hamburger forces. And what I can tell you when I flip them beetches it saves me from having grease on me. I been through plenty of meal operations and a Survivor of the McDonald's wars. Let me tell you....I am highly impressed.
LOL you forgot your meds.
@@jimjones9239 you making fun of my MC PATTIES!!! GET DOWN AND DEEP FRIE ME THE MOST DELICIOUS FRIES BOY!! GIVE ME 50!!!
I didn’t even watch the video yet but im excited bc I have this carrier!!!!
Hell yeah dude after watching the video tell us how you think your carrier is? You agree with Jake?
@@Chrisblau definitely love the carrier, just wish the QD connections were a little different spot on the shoulders, or it was just on one side. But definitely can work around then.
That intro was fckin sick. Fine job Crispy
🤙🏻
the only thing I have on my "oh shit" helmet is a strong pistol light so that I can have a lot of light hands free if I need it, and protective goggles for stuff like tear gas or pepper spray, if it gets on my face or in my mouth I can deal with that, but if it gets in my eyes (super sensitive girly eyes) I'm down for the count.
I haven't put together a tactical NV helmet yet, mainly because I don't have helmet compatible NV, but I do have night vision and thermal clip-ons for my rifle, again not ideal for many scenarios, but it's what I already have because I predator hunt at night, and I can use it if I must.
you don't have to have the newest greatest tactical whiz-bang gear (it's definitely nice if you can afford it, but if you have some basic gear that you can make do with in an emergency you'll be better off than the majority of people who likely done have anything.
plates, ammo, a couple power bars, a couple bottle of water, and some basic med gear can make all the difference in the world. use what you have, and if you have the time and money to do so, improve what you have now, but if your gear is basic then master it. I'd bet on the guy with a glock19 with nothing but a light who practices every week over the guy with a KAC SR-15 with everything but the kitchen sink bolted to it who just bought it for "the gram"
regardless of what "tier" of gear you can afford, master that gear, master donning and doffing it quickly, master your accuracy and your reloads, master grabbing each item and knowing exactly where it is.
I ran the k19 for work for 1 1/2 years. I ended up getting rid of it because the shoulders and back were bulky. I had trouble shouldering my rifle and sitting in a vehicle for hours with it was extremely uncomfortable. I sold it and got the ferro slickster. Hence the name, it is very slick and slim. Much more comfortable and 0 complaints. I upgraded to the first spear tube cummerbund because I was spoiled from the k19. As for your pack, great place to store breaching tools, bangs and NVG.
Hey whatever works for you. All based on what works for your application
What's the model of your vest and backpack/panel?
How well would a couple food trays from in and out stack up? Thinking some duct tape and like 3 or four trays...
I haven’t found the in and out trays to hold up well. But Taco Bell has some crazy good trays
My mind always come to the mythbusters episode when they made homemade body armor from bathroom tiles. Better than nothing but definitely would look like a bed, bath, beyond Samurai
@@thesepretzelsaremakingmethirst 😆
It might work if you put the burgers between the plates
@@loganwykstra7922 I tried that but ran into a real problem with meat bees 🐝
Just ordered one of these, y’all must have known. 😂
We’re mind readers
Theyre amazing. I got 2 highcom lvl 4s. 6.5 lbs a piece. Not bad. And then 2 3A soft inserts with them. Whole rig is 24 lbs. not terrible but not light. You dont even feel the weight
Wish they have specific body type I have one but too big
Where was this video filmed? Gorgeous country.
I'm a janitor so I definitely need one for my job
K19 needs to offset the plates so the rear isn’t sagging down and seated in the wrong area. The new warfighter cummerbund should fix this issue once released. I’m also not a fan of the spacer mesh as it insulates body heat and rather prefer Velcro backing underneath to attach pontoons like Qore Performance IceVents or IcePlates to maximize body cooling.
I’m just here waiting on the sierra-5 review.
AG gear is the best and what I use.
K19 is badass. I'm a mepc guy though
ahhhhh and there it was, at 24:04, Chris brings up his man crush elite warrior buddies🤦🏻♂️ GBRS shirts and all!
Its not a GBRS shirt it’s a Gypsy Walters shirt, not my fault I work with cool guys who tell me cool shit and I can bounce ideas and stuff off of from their experience doing the job. Also at 5:00 Jake says the exact same thing I did just in a different way. I’ll try not to do it as much but I ask those guys a shit ton of questions while writing those videos and I also never want to take credit for anything that isn’t originally my idea. Again sorry dude I’ll work on it I’m not being a asshole I’m being serious I’ll try to not do that I can see how that is annoying.
@@Chrisblau
ehhh keep doing what u do bro, i honestly think u guys are the best gun channel on youtube and i’m just being a dickhead troll. 😎
@@barnacanbull haha nah man I do say and reference that shit an annoying amount. Anywho thanks for being cool appreciate the kind words man seriously 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

u got it man, i enjoy the channel and ur efforts traveling back and forth to make them. funny as fuck how u clown jake and his janky thumbs and slight build! 😂

I also keep a fork and a spoon in my kit. I don't dare eat with my fingers because I don't know where they have been.
Where in Utah is that? I shoot by lake mountain
I was kinda hoping the rest of the video would be as captivating as the intro!
The day that I can make content full time and have big production budgets you will get exactly that
I’m sorry but that type A rifle is still so damn gorgeous. I need one!
No lie
I have one. You absolutely do. Even their baseline SPR series is fantastic.
@@raminator5441 I’ve been screwing around with a super duty but I think the type A route would have been better clout lol. They are just solid looking rifles
you need some M67 and WP gernades.... for crowd control....
I got the K5 by Agilite 2 years ago because I heard great things about it. I didn’t like it. Not that it’s not a good pc but it was too bulky for me personally. Now I have the LV119 by Spiritus and I love it.
Hey whatever works for you
Definitely should have tested all this gear before doing the review.
This fits on guys who have chest size 10x12, not for skinny guy like me :) i had it twice, sold them twice, the two versions
lol this is funny I just got mine k19 in the mail 😅
Mines on its way
Enjoy!
Y’all forgot the tactical fanny pack for when things get extra spicy.
The spice
You need to tighten down your carrier
It shouldn’t be so loose on you to where it’s bouncing when you run
Sorry this is not related to the video, but do two two live in Salt Lake City? Do you offer training ?
Half of our duo lives in Utah. Honestly we don’t really do training though, just not our lane
Nice
Just bought a Crye JPC so I’m interested in seeing how this stacks up.
JPC is more minimal
Yep!!!!
Great carrier but the l210 plates are just as uncomfortable as some ar500 steel plates.
Here 8mo later curious if you have any updates thoughts/opinions/notes on the K19 ?
Still a big fan
@@1911syndicate glad to hear that. Mine should be here Friday 🤙🏼
K19 is great i wish it had more molle real estate on the sides and the shoulder pads were so damn thick.
So basically not the k19 lol
Why are you running the Type-A for this???? I thought the KAC was your SHTF gun?
Different tools for different jobs
I don’t own a rifle that I don’t trust for SHTF. They’re all great
Its easy to be good when the majority of your enemy is rock throwers. There are a few at the tip of the spear that are squared away, but the majority walk around without a round in the chamber without questioning it. As a whole, their reputation far exceeds their ability's.
Have you worked with them before? I have. Their commandos are on par with SAS & SBS.
@@georgefloydsinhellwbreonna5330 Yes sir. I agree. They are on par with sas & sbs.
I have a setup now just need a better plate carrier
Check the Agilite. I’ve been very happy with it
This video 🏆
What plates on the aglite?
Hesco L210
As long as the shooters good enough to hit your plate, you're ok.
I appreciate the averageness of these men.
Honestly that’s incredibly nice man. Jake and I are just enjoying the hobby of shooting and enjoying it the way we want to with all this RUclips stuff. Appreciate the kind words man 👊🏻
@@Chrisblau That's exactly how you come off on video as well. I think that's way I can't stop watching.
Chris is a 3, I’m a 7. But combined that makes us a 5 which I guess is average
@@wedgeantilles4053 thank you man that really means a lot to us 👊🏻
I'm gonna stick with my Crye SPC
"convergence"?
most people dont understand that the coms their fave youtuber runs is litterally just a ham radio and its unsecured coms for the average joe only good if you got a team but i do think at least a thermal would be good and possibly nvg seeings how its easier to move an stuff at night
If it’s not a plate carrier for war then why does Agilite advertise it as Israeli special forces gear? At the shot show this year they made it seem like they use this for police and military. I understand for war you need to carry more gear but you don’t think this would hold up in a combat situation?
