How to use Malice Clips! AR500 Armor 

Im having the same exact issue. Idk why i thought buying from ar500 would be a good idea

No problem! Thanks for the support!

Hopefully not anymore! lol

The entire thing is SHIT for sure!

Sorry to hear they broke on you. Shoot us a DM on facebook or instagram and we'll get you taken care of

Yep, SAME HERE...ABSOLUTE garbage!

It’s a crying SHAME the admin/tourniquet pouches are really decent AND THEN cobble them together with this crap..

😂

Should of returned them and bought AR500 product

That's sad the company did that 🤬🤬

Excellent question. On the reverse side of the pouch you will notice there are 4 rows of MOLLE. You will only use 3 rows to mount. This means you can mount the pouch lower by using the top 3 rows of MOLLE, or mount the pouch higher, but using the bottom 3 rows of MOLLE. The MALICE clip will only come up short if you are trying to use all 4 rows. Hope this helps!

What exactly did you order?

You got lucky. Mine took 8 weeks

I got my plate carrier, 3+ plates, various pouches & battle belt in 3 weeks! 😁😁

I like the black 😂I order one week ago cuz they go for sale with the plates

I went all black…but only because AR didn’t have the BOGO option for OD. Beggars can’t be choosers. I can live, hopefully quite literally, with black. Time wise, yea, slow is accurate and seems pretty typical. That was for my carrier itself. Plates were robbed out of the box during shipping but Desiree was a sweetheart of an angel and squared the issues away! I’m still waiting on my plates…4 of them… but my tourniquet and carrier, mag pouches were BAM at my door!!! I’m pleased with AR but DANG, can SOMEONE please design a more complicated attachment system!!??😮😂😂

Feeling quite blue 😂

“He can do it himself” in his scary movie voice🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It's an ooooold army joke.

Yeah ik. We can tell how uneducated you are

MBTech please help me then 😂 I’ve tried mounting the pistol holster my pistol mags and my QDIFAK and I can’t get it for the life of me. Lots of frustration so if you can enlighten me on how to properly secure them that would be fantastic!

Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry you are having a hard time. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service if you have having any difficulties. The straps you are referring to are called PALs straps. The problem with PALs straps was 3 fold: The first issue is when the PALs strap tore, they would render the pouch useless. Malice clips are designed to be replaceable keeping your pouch intact. You can keep multiple spare malice clips on your kit for field expedient repairs. The next issue was with the brass or steel buttons used on the PALs strap. Under heavy use, they would rust / corrode from sweat and they either rust shut or corrode the fabric around the snap causing them to break. The last issue issue was the button snap on the strap made it difficult to lace through certain MOLLE patterns such as Laser-cut MOLLE webbing. Due to the low profile of the fabric, it can be a pain to weave the button snap through the tighter fabric layers. Malice clips can also be used on gear like knife sheaths for mounting gear that would otherwise not be able to mount to MOLLE with PALs straps. Hope this info helps!

Please send an email to customer service at support@ar500armor.com and we can assist you with that.

Yeah the new design sucks ass. Can't get this shit on and your videos don't help because you changed the design

We are sorry you are having issues. The new clips bend to lock. Once the malice clip is threaded through the proper MOLLE webbing and the head is able to be tucked into the locking bracket, bend the exposed unit (both halves together) and the bent angle will secure the locking bracket in the correct position. To unlock, reverse the process. We wanted a tool-less locking bracket that the malice clips in this video was unable to fulfill. If you need any assistance with these clips, please reach out to support@ar500armor.com for assistance.

Oh no! It appears that you may have been sent the short clips by mistake. We can get this fixed if you send us a PM on Facebook (if you use Facebook), use the live chat feature on our website, or give us a call at (602) 501-9607. We should be able to help you out through any of these channels to get you the correct gear. We apologize for the mix-up.

Please give our customer service a call at 602-501-9607 M-F 11AM-4PM MST or send us an email to support@armoredrepublic.com with some pictures and we will be happy to take a look and see if we can assist you!

Which carrier are you looking? All of her sizing is in our description on each product.

Thanks for your feedback, we take it all into consideration for future products. Stay safe out there 💪

😂

So they aren't locking in place? They usually don't click into place very loud. The best way to check whether or not the clips are locked is to try and pull the two sides apart. If they come apart, then they are not locked and likely need to be pushed together a little harder.

It’s is A POS! Like this ENTIRE KIT! It’s a Fucking RIPOFF!

@@cmo8114 a full plate carrier, with 2 coated level 3 plates, velcro double rifle mag pouch, velcro double pistol mag pouch, and velcro universal pistol holster for $250 on one of the many sales they have. Arrived in 2 weeks. Yeah, what a ripoff huh. Best deal I came across in a good while.

Yeah, NO KIDDING! These are WAY TOO short to be “weaving in and out”..what a terrible system!

Having a similar issue with the dump pouch.

If I were you, abort. This company is fraud. They lost my package for a month I then demanded a refund and wow it’s on my front door with an express shipping sticker on it 🤦‍♂️there were no lead times on any of my 3 items.

Look at their Facebook reviews lol they are all bad currently 😂😂😂😂

@@westside4lifebk of course the angry ones would be the loudest ones. half or more of those fakebook reviews arent even real accounts lol. I got my shit on time and at a massive deal. when the entire country waits until bans and panic buying to buy something from a few companies all at the same time, yeah shipping and wait times will get fucked.

@@mpkid5 bud ar500 is known even by cops as being a fraud company. I would buy it from RMA or Mira safety. That’s why I have always bought my stuff ahead of time. It took them 1 month to get me some magazine MOLLE holders and an abdomen cover. Just the cover no plates. There was ZERO lead time and they said that Fed ex lost it and that they couldn’t refund me because it shipped. What kind of bullshit is that!? If THEIR carrier lost it and I’m without product then give me my damn money back. Biggest headache of my life.

Worth the wait

Apologies, but we're not sure we understand the question. Would you mind rephrasing it so we can make sure we give you the correct answer?

@@AR500Armor the malice clips and wtf clips like for the kywis

Ohh you're talking about Whisky Two Four, right? The difference between their clips and MALICE clips are minimal. They have different locking mechanisms, and the WTF clips are made from a slightly more flexible material. Other than that, the clips are very similar.

@@AR500Armor so does it really matter which ones I get ?

Not particularly. Ours are just a tad bit cheaper, but both are high quality and will do the job well

Hmm... And you're making sure to slide clip in all the way? If it is a defective batch, you can contact our customer service team and we should be able to get you some replacements.

@@AR500Armor I have the same exact issue as we speak. I will contact Customer Service. Thanks.

Mine are doing the same thing, barely lift the tab to get it to slide in but there’s no “click” and they easily pull out

Use the short ones, but instead of going all the way through the straps initially, go through the next to last and weave from there...worked for me

They’re not too short. The short ones suck a lot to install. Just take your time and use a tiny screwdriver to help feed it through the molle. I just installed the esstac shortys on my invictus!

I had my teenage son who's good at legos watch the video and help me.This guy goes a little fast and you need 2 eyes on him..

Velcro does not adequately secure pouches to the plate carrier. The MALICE clips really do great job of keeping the pouches in place on the carrier.

@@AR500Armor what about straps with buttons? I’m just curious who invented these because MOLLE has always been Velcro or snap.

These are pretty standard MOLLE clips. True, there are MOLLE clips that utilize Velcro or snap closures, but the concept is the same. This definitely isn't something that we came up with and it's definitely not new.

@@AR500Armor hmmm why don’t people know about them then if they aren’t new? I just see in the comments like 75% of the people had no clue how to use it haha.

Mostly people that have never worked with MOLLE accessories before. It can be confusing learning how to work with MOLLE and MOLLE clips because of how pouches and things are weaved onto the carrier.

We're happy this was helpful! Thank you for the support 🙌

We're not here to shame anyone 👀

Explain yourself. Ive spent $500+ and gotten all my gear.

Its over 6 months an still no product, won't answer phone, emails are just paid promo, an social media just says call them just to sit on wait for eternity.. SCAM! All while they sell more product smh

I bought plates and a carrier and the lead time was estimated to be 7 weeks max, and I’ve been waiting since last November during Cyber Monday when I purchased it. I’ve tried emailing them and calling to no response, and their reviews on yelp have customers complaining about the samething. I’ve spent about $350 and was going to spend more but I haven’t gotten anything man, just makes me think I got scammed. Lucky to you

@@myxgerms yea my lead time said 6 weeks that was a big lie! An yup made my purchase a little after you did, an yea zero customer service. Unfortunately for me i just seen the yelp reviews an all, wish i seen those before they stole my money! 283$ for me

Quit your bitching. I have ordered 4 sets from them over the last 6 years & never had any problems with service or quality. You are waaaay behind the curve & want your stuff now? Lack of planning & poor execution by you, does not make it an emergency for anyone else.

That's the problem I'm having. I thought he said he would address any questions below. Fucking pisses me off

@@onenationundergod2373 Hello. I figured it out. Try clipping it in the opposite end. Worked for me. Let me know if you still need help.

@@geo780 ok I'll try that. Do you mean the backside?

@@onenationundergod2373 Yes

@@geo780 thanks brother

Thanks for watching, Randy!

Glad to clear up the confusion! We do sell the malice clips separately if you need them, over on our accessories page!

@@AR500Armor The customer service guy got me hooked up and the missing malice clips just shipped out today ;-)

Awesome!

It should be the same process for the pistol mag pouches. Are the MALICE clips or the mag pouches too short?

@@AR500Armor The Malice clips that came with the pouches appear to be too short. I think a video showing how to put the pistol mag pouches on would be a good idea

We agree. We are looking into getting a help video like that filmed to avoid situations like this in the future 👍

@@AR500Armor having the same problem just sent an email to customer service

Sounds good. Also, we have found that if you ignore/skip the bottom row of MOLLE on the pistol mag pouch, the MALICE clips work much better.

Awesome! Glad you like it!

Unless there are 3 lengths of clips. There is no way in hell. The ones I was sent will go over and under that many times and snap together.😐

There are multiple sizes. It is possible you may have the wrong size. Contact our customer service team and they'll ship you the correct ones for free

Thats great! Thanks for you support!

👍

Keep going to collage and then someday you might learn how to spell college lol

An yup you guessed it still nothing..

@@kennethrussell5604 The Veritas plate carrier I ordered in November had a defect (which I saw when I received it in March). I sent an email for an RMA in March and received a reply in May (eight weeks later), and I just got my replacement today (July 2nd, seven weeks after email reply). So, they are very, very slow right now, but they are responding to and fixing issues (at least in my case); it just requires saint level patience (or apathy) as a consumer. I presume that with a federal body armor ban bill drafted and the recent civil unrest, these wait times will only get worse.

Glad this helped!

Hey there! Yes, the pistol mag pouch can be a little tricky with that. We can either explain how to fix the issue here, or show you how to do it with a picture on Instagram. If you have an Instagram and want the picture for extra help, drop your username here and we can message you. If not, we can just help you here

@@AR500Armor Instagram account is "foxyhoven" Thank you!

Perfect! We'll shoot you a message there

Glad you enjoy 😂

Yep! And it's designed to work in tandem with MOLLE.

Good to know!
