These might still be 99 bucks on tactical shit, they're rebranded as chase tactical Ukranian contract overrun. Buffman posted the deal on his community tab on YouTube.
Admirable_Basket381@reddit
Got mine today.
Ill-Program-2713@reddit
Could those possibly be fakes? Why is it so cheap?
Someguyintheroom2@reddit
Ukraine contract overrun
They gotta at least make back manufacturing cost
nova_amp@reddit
That still doesn't make sense to me, there has to be some manufacturing differences between the 4SAS4 and the 4SAS7s. If they can sell 4SAS7s which are "the same thing" for ~$160 more PER plate, why would they discount it THAT much. If I was a retailer sure I'd throw in some discount, sure, but taking a ~$160 price cut?
DinkleButtstein37@reddit
Yup, and they're also shipping within 1 week. I ordered 1 week ago and they just shipped all my plates today.
Xardenn@reddit
Well there goes $236 I wasn't planning to spend
HeadFullOfDoubt@reddit
now let's hope they actually ship them. I bought them on the 11th, have the confirmation email but nothing shipped yet. Drop shipping is the bane of my existence, but a deal is a deal.
Bleed4Glory@reddit
F me and my Small plate wearing body.
dyzzodyzzo@reddit
how tall are you and what is your weight? What size do you think you need? Im on the smaller side as well, and I'm tempted to just buy this 10x12 lol
Bleed4Glory@reddit
8.5” nipple to nipple. 5’4”. 15” notch to belly button. I’ve tried a 3d printed model of 10x12 plates and the width restricts arm movement. Pretty sure I’d have to stick with small.
redacted_robot@reddit
Hot or cold nip2nip measurement? ;)
Bleed4Glory@reddit
It’s always hot over here baby!
ChillBlintone@reddit
These being shooter cut might give you better mobility, if not look into medium sized swimmer cut plates that might be just the ticket for you.
Bleed4Glory@reddit
Thanks. I ordered them any way to see.
Admirable_Basket381@reddit
Damn you for this knowledge lol
TheShadowuFear@reddit
Did you guys crash the site? Checkout won't load on tactical shit
GridKILO2-3@reddit
Just worked for me, $226 shipped to Wi
HeadFullOfDoubt@reddit
Those look to be 4SAS7, which are single cut are they not?
I_got_gud@reddit
Real deal in the comments
kevinting69@reddit
227 shipped to pa
dircs@reddit
Thanks fam, grabbed a set.
GU1LD3NST3RN@reddit
(Low whistle). These highcoms are the plates I’m basically set on and that is a truly bananas price. Can anybody speak to the legitimacy of that seller?
Ill-Program-2713@reddit
Im wondering on this as well
Bubbly-Celery-4096@reddit
Thanks just ordered from them!
MP5K-PDW@reddit
MY MAN!

This is a good deal. Much more reputable site that i bought from. I haven't received them yet, but i bought the chase tactical version from TacticalShit and it was $230 shipped. They are selling these at $99 per plate if you have some time to wait for shipping and want to deal with them.
nug_nug01@reddit
Ordered some too on October 31st, still no shipping confirmation.
Guano-@reddit
Same, They said 5-10 business days, I'll be contacting them wed.
SaltArm7635@reddit
any update?
Admirable_Basket381@reddit
Got mine today.
DinkleButtstein37@reddit
I ordered 1 week ago and they just shipped all my plates today.
Perfect seller, A+, super fast turn around on the shipping.
Guano-@reddit
Sadly No. They are notorious for selling stuff they don't have in yet.
DinkleButtstein37@reddit
I ordered 1 week ago and they just shipped all my plates today.
Guano-@reddit
Nope and I ordered on the 1st and even contacted them about the order.
DinkleButtstein37@reddit
Sounds to me like they didn't get your order somehow because everyone else's orders shipped. If they have a phone # I'd call them.
Guano-@reddit
Nah, they're just a shit company, as described in the name.
SwordfishAncient@reddit
I actually bought mine from LiberalTears which is the same company, different branding.. Their checkout didnt save my CC info and charged no tax, but slightly higher shipping cost. But i emailed them and they said they were awaiting for their truckload from chase to show up.. If it cancels, ill happily buy from the OP post. But then i watch some more russia ukraine videos and think about how times have changed from tactics i have learned, and your screwed with drones, dont worry about the armor.
Guano-@reddit
I did to, you get shipping update yet? It's been 11 business days for me.
603rdMtnDivision@reddit
Check your email because I had heard that some were going out today. I ordered mine on the 11th and got my shipping email a few hours ago and I wanted to come back to this post because I saw folks asking if they got any updates.
Guano-@reddit
Ordered mine the 1st and have heard nothing, even contacted them Monday.
YouTubeSeanWick@reddit
Did you ever receive them or get any updates?
DinkleButtstein37@reddit
I ordered 1 week ago and they just shipped all my plates today.
YouTubeSeanWick@reddit
I received a shipping notification but UPS hasn't received the package yet, is that the same for you or does it show it's in transit?
ahelplesslamb@reddit
I’m in the same boat as you.
603rdMtnDivision@reddit
I ordered mine on the 11th and got the shipping notification a few hours ago.
DinkleButtstein37@reddit
Same, 1 week turnaround time for me, they just shipped em all today along with yours.
nug_nug01@reddit
Supposedly they’ll be here tomorrow
SaltArm7635@reddit
have you heard anything from them yet?
joeysuf@reddit
Shipping confirmation yesterday. Still pending drop off to ups
DinkleButtstein37@reddit

allister041@reddit
Same
Admirable_Basket381@reddit
I just got mine today.
As a no nothing about hard armor. Multicurve is amazing.
Panthean@reddit
Doesn't that seller have negative reviews on this sub? I just did a quick search when that came out and they seemed sus.
Also were those multicurve? Singlecurve is a dealbreaker.
Guano-@reddit
They are a brick and mortar out of St. Louis. Seems most of their bad reviews are from ammo drop ships on BBB and google reviews. A but load of slow shipping reviews.
potkettleracism@reddit
I'm also based in St Louis, and they're still shit in person. Granted you do walk out with whatever you buy, but there's much better shops in the area than them. Personally I drive the extra 15 minutes to Osage County Guns
Admirable_Basket381@reddit
Bro. Osage county guns is legit. Lucky u live by them.
DinkleButtstein37@reddit
I ordered 1 week ago and they just shipped all my plates today.
Perfect seller, A+, super fast turn around on the shipping.
SwordfishAncient@reddit
Yes, thats why the deal isnt posted here. Doesnt make it not a deal though.. Looks like they have started shipping them now. they are multicurve. Same plate as OP, just Chase Tactical Branding.. I guess they overproduced so many, they bought them by the truckload.. Our taxes likely paid for the whole batch and then they wholesale anything not transferred.
sig_pistols@reddit
The description on the site actually says they're 4sas7? So they might actually be better than OP?
SwordfishAncient@reddit
No, it says they are exactly the same as their 4sas7 plates. It is 4sas4 plates which are some degree different, whether that be the composite backing being fiberglass verses plastic or the label on them from highcom.
Big_Don-G@reddit
N42! Can anyone recommend a decent carrier that will match the deal? I was looking at the LBX Armatus II but the sizing confuses me. 6’ 205lbs.
grimduck17@reddit
Depends what your goal is. Sizing is based off of plate size for plate carriers not your clothing size. Look up sizing guides for plates. General rule of thumb is nipple to nipple width and top of sternum/clavicle to about 1-4” above belly button
SelfdestructoBust@reddit
Real deal is in the comments as usual.
Sad-Umpire-911@reddit
Is there a link?
SelfdestructoBust@reddit
Search for tactical shit. Can't post the link here for blacklist reasons. I just put it on a CC and rolled the dice.
Sad-Umpire-911@reddit
🔥 think I will as well - no better value @ 200 🫘?
joeysuf@reddit
In for a set... Let's see
catsby90bbn@reddit
Thank you - just ordered some as well. What size carrier would those fit?
JohnnyBoy11@reddit
Tac shit says they come with only 5 year warranty where as chase gives 10 years. No idea about the $300 set
rollingsherman@reddit
Well for $230 shipped I am in for a gamble. I can always cancel or have my CC deal with them if it falls through.
Ill-Program-2713@reddit
Could those possibly be fakes? Why is it so cheap?
afuckingwheel@reddit
Chase has sold rebranded Highcom for years. On their page, they say these specific plates are Ukraine contract overruns. Which makes sense to me because AFAIK the 4SAS4 production line was only restarted for Ukraine.

Just wanted to check in and say I ordered mine 10 days ago and they arrived today. Have two buddies who ordered 16 days ago with no shipping information yet
Ill_Marionberry7988@reddit
i picked up a set of these from tactical shit and got my cc info stolen the next day. maybe coincidence, but watch your transactions.
shooter_mk@reddit
Did you do any other sketchy shopping recently? How’d you know it was stolen?
Ill_Marionberry7988@reddit
aldi's and costco were the only previous purchases before i bought plates. next day got the alerts. again, possible it was taken from another breach somewhere else, but considering the sketchy reviews and the timing, i'd err and use an online #.
GridKILO2-3@reddit
That’s why I use a prepaid for online ordering
Limp-Adhesiveness453@reddit
Anyone know of a kevlar plate carrier like the issued ones that were a kevlar wrap with room for plates?
jdertay@reddit
Is this legit level 4?
Guano-@reddit
Yes.
SNBJJ@reddit
I don't know much about armor, but some dude on reddit the other day said that multi-curve is where it's at.
I've been wanting to grab a carrier lately, but I don't want to waste my time or money on nonsense. I also don't want to spend a ton of money if it's not necessary to get adequate performance. I suppose that this is my next rabbit hole.
EverThinker@reddit
These are great plates, I would pick them up if I was just getting into the armor game.
As far as a carrier - stay away from Condor, Yakeda and Shellback, and basically any Amazon brand. They are generally worthless.
A good starter carrier would be the Trex Arms AC1 or if you have some extra mula - a Crye Precision JPC or Ferro Concepts FCPC.
If you're looking into something more load bearing, check out the First Spear Strandhogg or if you have some extra mula - Shaw Concepts ARC v2 (I run this setup, super nice.)
TheShadowuFear@reddit
https://www.bereli.com/first-spear-strandhogg-mbav-cut-plate-carrier-does-not-include-cummerbund/
I built a strandhogg from bereli. Once you go tube's yoh never go back
geopede@reddit
Can you expand on what makes that carrier sans cummerbund worth $250? It looks fairly basic, I don’t know what tubes are in this context.
TheShadowuFear@reddit
Most carriers have hook and loop. Tube's you slide on off and with ease. Can don and doff super easy
Dylan5546@reddit
Shellback isn't bad, I've ran my Banshee Elite 2.0 for about 3 years so far without any issues
Panthean@reddit
The Banshee is decent from what I hear, but their other models are Chinesium.
They aren't terrible, but bulky and kinda cheap. I had the Shield, last I checked it was on sale for \~$60 which is hard to argue with.
Existing-Good6487@reddit
Shellback really isn't that bad for the money.
EverThinker@reddit
I just think that something like an AC1 or even a JPC brings better value than shellback with better aftermarket support and modularity - that's just my opinion though!
In my minds eye, Shellback is about the same tier of Condor - but people run their stuff and run it hard!
Good looks.
Sonic_Is_Real@reddit
LBX carriers veen fantastic for me so far
SNBJJ@reddit
Awesome. I appreciate the advice and insight
Jayy_Black33@reddit
This is great advice
EverThinker@reddit
You're welcome!
If you end up getting something, actually go and train in it, don't let it sit in a closet.
Wearing armor sucks - wearing it for longer than an hour sucks even more.
Just something to keep in mind!
FuckTheKing1776@reddit
Defense Mechanisms is another high value option. They had a pretty good black friday sale last year.
Zotross@reddit
Username of the week award right here!^^^
MrPeckersPlinkers@reddit
good stuff. but when they quote you on a lead time. they damn sure stick to it.
bought a belt with an 8 week lead time. Last day of the 8 week wait I got tracking info
Zotross@reddit
The Titan Armor Solutions website seems dicey at best. No contact info other than an e-mail, on the site. After searching their eVA supplier code, I was able to find an address and phone number, which on Google Maps/Street literally has a yard sign saying “tax services” (with the same contact name and number as in the eVA supplier page). Not exactly confidence-building.
Can anyone who went for this deal give an update as to order follow up and shipping turnaround/info provided by Titan, or can folks who’ve ordered from Titan in the past give their experiences? Thanks.
geopede@reddit
PayPal to a business is generally pretty safe since PayPal itself will almost always side with the consumer, even if the business is in the right.
FuckTheKing1776@reddit
Ordered yesterday and got confirmation today. Seems like they're dropshipping the plates from highcom's warehouse.
grimduck17@reddit
Depends how the PayPal account is set up. PayPal is perfectly valid way to pay for a small business. I use it for my small business when doing online transactions because the cost adds up when paying for a card processing service. PayPal charges a smaller fee than the card processing services and if the buyer chooses to use a credit card then the processing fee for that card is deferred to them.
medic_gear_solid@reddit
Thug life. Ordered a set. Worst case scenario I do a charge back.
tacticalsht@reddit
Please don't lol these will ship in a week or so in order of orders received.
vengeanceviarevenant@reddit
Heard, chef.
gago_dre@reddit
In for a set. These will replace my lapg level 4 plates. Thanks OP
irepsatown@reddit
Let me know when they ship yours. Not sure how you can track it.
gago_dre@reddit
I reached out to their customer support today and they said the following: “The 4sas4’s are in stock and will ship directly from the HighCom Armor facility in Columbus Ohio. Logistics is processing a large amount of orders and will get these out asap. I would imagine they would ship some time next week. These orders were just submitted this morning and are currently pending fulfillment. You will receive an email with FedEx tracking information when your plates ship. Any and all shipping updates from HighCom will be communicated to you as well.”
irepsatown@reddit
They informed me that they'll update shipping info in paypal
teyrui@reddit
damn i paid $450 for these through Apex..
icecreamplz@reddit
Tempting. Idk about this website tho
howawsm@reddit
Highly legit website. I got my set from them and they are pretty well known as well.
irepsatown@reddit
How long did it take for yours to ship? It put me straight to PayPal. Not sure how they'll send tracking info.
Jayy_Black33@reddit
Listed on highcom as dealer 🤷🏻♂️
icecreamplz@reddit
Oh shit. Even more tempting !

A little concerning here, perhaps there is a reason these are being blown out?
Ill-Program-2713@reddit
Nice! I was concerned but this makes me feel better. Sounds like woven fiberglass its just heavier
LtPatterson@reddit
I mean fiberglass in the 4sas4 vs. polyethylene in the 4sas7 will make a difference. How much of a difference, can't say other than .2lbs per plate based on the spec sheet. Probably not 2x the price difference depending on where you buy. They are $90 more from the site in the OP.
Zotross@reddit
Forgive my ignorance, but wouldn’t back face deformation with fiberglass potentially break off some fiberglass into your body even without a pass through?
LtPatterson@reddit
Not unless you're not wearing a carrier. Plus, you'd have to get hit with a mega hot round or multiple times in the same area to get that level of backface deformation. It's a common backer in many plates. Not a concern really, just a tad heavier than PE. Especially for this price.
Zotross@reddit
Thanks for the info- much appreciated!
funds_are_safu@reddit
These fit armatus 2?
afuckingwheel@reddit
My 4SAS7 fit. This should be near identical.
blancs3030@reddit
Any deals on side plates?
reaper263@reddit
In for a set, thanks OP!
Existing-Good6487@reddit
What are these plates made of?
--_-__-___---_@reddit
fiberglass/polyethelyne. you arent getting any better material for this price.
Panthean@reddit
For the backer material, yes. But the strike face is ceramic.
Existing-Good6487@reddit
I just looked up a video and it stopped 30.06 AP after taking a whole bunch of other heavy hitters. I'm sold! Looks like there ceramic in it also.
J050200@reddit
u/sir_wavy22
Chaviiiiii9@reddit
So much for not spending money today smh
GreatTroy0285@reddit
This is a very good deal.
redditsuckshorsed@reddit
I’m a plate noob- why’s this a very good deal?
EverThinker@reddit
This are multi-curve plates at single curve prices.
Hesco M210s are probably analogous to this set (ish.. they're special threat, not quite level 4), and those are double the cost, on sale lol
MifflinGibbs@reddit
Analogous to M210s? Not at that weight buddy
EverThinker@reddit
The 4400MC would be a better comparison at this weight, you're right - forgot Hesco made a pair of heavier level IVs.
I used to run M210s and switched to U210s, so recency bias at play there lol
Good looks.
Subversion7@reddit
Friends don’t let friends wear steel armor.
You’re essentially as safe as the durability of the anti foaling coating applied to steel plates. Once that fails then every round turns into tiny razor sharp was and copper fragments exploding in a directions perpendicular to the hit of the projectile.
So as an alternative….
Primary Arms has a 13% off deal on everything and they are selling Hesco 4403 Level IV multicurves for $208 per plate before the discount.
https://www.primaryarms.com/hesco-400-series-4403-ballistic-insert-level-iv-multi-curve-sapi-cut-medium
Code: VETS13 gets you 13% off your entire order including but not limited to these plates.
Good luck out there and be safe.
Sonic_Is_Real@reddit
If you got rma 1155s this is a no brainer. Multicurve, 1 lb lighter per plate, quarter inch thinner, basically same price
No-Shower-1622@reddit
Ha. We did it boys. The customer service people emailed and they’re concerned about the ugh than normal traffic they are receiving. Wanted to know if I actually purchased them!
I told them they were posted up on Reddit. We are hugging them guys keep it up!!!!
shellslinger@reddit
Vendor is good to go. Ordered from them before and can confirm they are a highcom dealer. Good people.
No-Shower-1622@reddit
Are these as light as my L210’s?
--_-__-___---_@reddit
no but these wont get zipped by someone shooting m855 or regular ball out of a 20"
No-Shower-1622@reddit
So I need these then?
--_-__-___---_@reddit
depends on who da opps are in your larping fantasy

tspoon-99@reddit
Does multi curve matter for your back the way it does for your front?
Just wondering if it makes sense to save some $ by mix and matching
EverThinker@reddit
Yes, it will be noticable - multi-curve allows you to snug the carrier tighter to your body, reducing carrier load stress throughout.
Rule of thumb is you can mix/match shape (shooter cut front, SAPI rear) but keep the curve profile the same.
Ottoblock@reddit
Looks like it might be a good deal, but I’m not in the market rn.
Can’t wait for all the people who scream “multicurve” on armor deals to suddenly be saying that these plates are too heavy or something.
