I would love it more but I thought my new plate carrier would have the provisions to accommodate the side plates but no. So I'm now ordering those. I am still vary excited!
Company has great customer service if you have any problems or any questions they will respond to you without waiting long I would recommend this company due to the customer service that you will get on any product
Not happy with them at all. Extremely way too thick. Tried to return them and was told they don’t do returns on plates. Do not buy from this site. They are not here for the customers.
Great little plates for adding rifle protection to a compact setup. They’re manageable to wear, stay secure in the carrier, and the finish looks like it will hold up over time. Very pleased with them.
Once the order was verified the items were packed and shipped promptly. My Dad got his order in no time, and I’m feeling great about the purchase. Well done RTS team!
I ordered a set a couple years ago and everything but them came in. I asked for them and they seemed to not know what I was talking about. After finding the card that said they were on back order. I contacted customer service and the new manager over there got it resolved within a day. And I got them shortly after. I love the gear and happy they still sent them after all this time! I’ll be happy to shop here again
I haven't tested it or had it put to the test (thank goodness.) All goes together well and shipping is pretty good. I've placed 3 orders with RTS and have no complaints thus far.
I have seen the video, and it was outstanding. I would recommend
