Point Blank Vest

[DCH]

Just Purchased a Point Blank vest for tactical shotgun work.

The vest is the MRV-CT Modular Response Vest- Carrier/Tactical. It is NOT a ballistic vest per say, but can be used as a carrier if using ballistic panel inserts from any concealable-type vest. The vest comes standard with a velcro/snap grid modular pouch system, non-slip rifle butt pads, and a shortened collar (about 1 1/4" height). Very nice features! I had to buy shot-shell holder and Ammo pouches separately.
Workmanship is very good and it can be ordered in Black, OD, Blue, or Woodland.

My Biggest complaint is even if the vest I ordered was an XL, the overall length of the vest still seemed rather TOO SHORT. when sitting down, there is a 2-3" gap between the top of my BDU belt to the bottom of the vest.

If anyone knows if this is the proper fit of a tactical vest or used this same vest, please let me know.

Thanks,

Pretty much all of the PB vests that I've seen are short in length even in larger sizes. The reason for this I believe is to allow for greater comfort, mobility, ect., when wearing the vest in conjunction with your pistol\web belt. If you require lower waist protection you could always opt for a removable groin protector.

Thanks Sosah,

After looking at a few other vests made by PointBlank, I'd have to agree with your assessment- they're built on the shorter side to avoid having the vest ride-up and choke an Officer if sitting or crouched down.
