November 26, 2013

Towards the end of SHOT Show 2013, one of DefenseReview's (DR) contacts told us we should take a look at the Rogue Gunfighter (RG) LVR (Lo-Vis Rig) tactical armor plate carrier/tactical vest, so we high-tailed it over there and shot some quick photos and video. And, we're glad we did, since it's an interesing system.

The RG LVR lo-pro plate carrier was designed and developed around (i.e., to integrate with) the High Threat Concealment (HTC) Low Profile System (LPS) (which we covered in the previous article) for lo-pro/lo-vis tactical ops like military PSD (Personal Security Detail), but this aspect isn't the only noteworthy thing about it. The LVR's pouch system, including the double kangaroo pouch (for 5.56mm AR rifle mags) and radio pouch, appears well-designed, as does the Clip-In LVR Chest Rig for carrying additional rifle mags (magazines). The RG LVR plate carrier appears to be very comfortable.

The Rogue Gunfighter Clip-In LVR Chest Rig (fast-attach) is modular, sports MOLLE, and fast-attaches via Fastech buckles and hook and loop attachment, and would appear to attach securely. It also features a carrying handle for deploying it quickly from under a vehicle seat for vehicle ops. At the bottom-front of both shoulder straps are tie-in D-rings for attaching a single-point sling (tactical rifle sling).

Side Note: One of the RG LVR rigs Defense Review saw at the booth sported what appeared to be an Orion Design Group (ODG) desert camo pattern which may be the ODG ODTDM-2 arid-environment pattern, but we're not sure.

The following LVR information comes directly from the Rogue Gunfighter website:

"The Rogue Gunfighter LVR is designed to be a light weight armor carrier capable of loading out various items in a pouch-cummerbund intergraded design that excludes the need for multiple Molle pouches.
