Looks VERY similar to the one I just bought in Ft. Bragg. Even the bottom fastener is very similar.

Ive noticed a few of these black ops PC's posted here, and thought Id share this with everyone regarding them. And I dont mean to come across like Im putting anyone's collection down or raining on any parades...
On this one gear forum, there is this one established member who is Army SF(and owner of Optactical.com). When asked about these black ops PC's, he said something to the extent of "You couldnt pay me to wear one of those. Id rather carry my plates in my waist band tied down with my belt." From what I gather from him, these seem kinda unpopular. Just thought Id share that tid bit of operator opinion with you guys. lol

I kind of figured. The one I have already has a tear in the shoulder area from light use (NO...not from me either 
) They are cheaply made, but they are what they are. I can see an Afghan soldier wearing this type of plate carrier.

I will agree with Paul. It does look "sexy", especially on a mannequin. Somehow that doesn't sound quite right.

My friend's dad's response was always "They're not dolls, they're ACTION FIGURES! Let's see Barbie wear Kevlar and haul an M249...oh wait, she can't, she'd sprain her ankle in those heels."
Cool displays, Paul!
