Deciding between the Banshee, Mayflower APC or a 6094. Needs to be under 250$

What brand 6094 are you looking for? That can make a big difference in price.
Otherwise, the Mayflower may (with shipping, it could be a possibility) be out of your price range, but the Banshee will cost about ~$130+.

The Mayflower APC is $220 (before shipping) on Skdtac.The Shellback Banshee is $127.95 (again, before shipping) on SKD.The LBT 6094 is (iirc) significantly more expensive than both of the above. The upside is that AWS makes their own version which they call the "Operator's Choice Plate Carrier" which is only $150. Linky for the AWS OCPC.Of course, there are Flyye and Pantac replicas of the 6094 available that are well made in addition to the many, many ACM copies. Gentlemen, it's a great day to be buying tactical nylon... so many options!

My Supplier can sell Black/OD/ACU/Tan Plate carriers for around $100. But he told me the other day he wont be doing his business anymore, he will only sell to friends and family. It is too bad.

Does that PC fit into any of the following choices? Deciding between the Banshee, Mayflower APC or a 6094. Needs to be under 250$ Also, are you offering to be a middle-man for the OP?

Here is a link to one of the plate carriers he is selling. I just talked to my supplier and he can get it to me for $80-90 shop.rothco.com/products/productdetail/part_number=ROT8922/573.0I could be the "middle-man" But For me to ship it to him, i would have to see how much shipping costs, or we could meet somewhere (or at an airsoft event) and i could just sell it to him then with no shipping fee

Reaper,
That isn't a Banshee, an APC or a 6094.
While I understand that you're trying to be helpful, the OP is asking for help with selecting between three specific plate carriers.

Also, that Rothco PC is a Condor MOPC, which is available for what, $60 or $70 at Evike and the like? It's also not neary as good of an option as what OP is looking at.

Actually Knife, It is not a Condor. Rothco makes that carrier, and it is a lot better quality then the condor's under $100. If you actually had one like me, you would say it is a good option (not the best, but still good), unless you like paying for who has their name on the product rather then the quality of said product.

Hey man, that's what a lot of airsofters do. Being able to say you have a LBT 6094 vs a Pantac one is serious points on the coolness of your loadout. But to answer the OPs question, the I don't know that much about the Mayflower, but as for the Banshee and 6094 style carriers, I can say this: Banshee: Its comfortable, and has a lot of out-of-the-box customization, such as the ability to remove the cummerbund and run it with just buckles, similar to an MBSS. It has a lot in common with the 6094, but its smaller. It runs kinda high on the chest (like your chin might be touching it when you look down), but from my team mate who has it, he is in love with it. I remain skeptical, but for the price, its one of the best on the market. 6094: Pretty much every manufacturer has made their version of the LBT 6094. They are all a little different, so you will have to research the individual brands yourself for the minute changes, but the basic design is the same. Obviously, you have seen pictures of it, so you know the basics. Personally, I love it. I have had the opportunity to wear on on 2 separate occasions, and even though they were sized for someone else, they were excellent. Just like the other 2 options you were considering, it is designed to be used with a battlebelt. The carrier itself has really nice sized arm holes, so your aiming won't be impeded, an the kangaroo pouch is great for keeping a low profile. The cummerbund radio pouch is also a bonus. All in all, I would get a 6094 style carrier, and if possible, get the LBT. It infinitely more durable, can be used in real steel applications, and gets major coolness points in your loadout. However, because of your budget, I would heavily consider the Mayflower. I have not used it, but the word of mouth from people on MiA is nothing but positive. If you want the cheapest route, the banshee is also a very good option. It basically comes down to how much you are willing to spend. I would splurge and get the Mayflower (or save up another 100 for a LBT 6094). But if you want leftover money, a replica 6094 or a Banshee is not a bad option. Hope this helps a little!

I just got my mayflower apc in the mail about 2 weeks or so ago and it's lovely. I was lucky enough to field it on the 9th. Its really comfortable and is widely adjustable. I got mine off of skdtac for 220 and shipping was only $5. I also got a insert for it on optac for 20. So its not outlandish in priceing. Its really nice.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using proboards I have the exact same story except I got my insert at skdtac. They are an awesome company and the Mayflower is the best piece of gear I own. It beats my Pantac PC hands down. Soooo comfy... and super light. Sent from my DROID RAZR using proboards

When I went to order my APC the like "official" insert went of out stock (of course...my luck) so I went on optac, and ordered a T3 triple mag insert. I went on a whim when I ordered it. But it fit and I was ecstatic. But the only thing is get new shoulder padding.
