My man… samesies, I bought my first set of armor, and figured out a way of carrying my Glock 34 with a streamlight and extra mag daily over my Glock 26 that summer. My wife and I moved to florida in April and this damn hurricane has made me add more and more to my bug out plan. Felt great bringing in 27 firearms and 5k rounds of ammo into a hotel in 7 trips with no one noticing. But I felt like crap not having a jet boil to cook our food with in our hotel when Uber eats and the whole town shut down. Point is you never know what you may need until you need it. If you have the time and the money make it a priority to be prepared. I have a grey ghost apparition backpack I can put my AR, a backup Glock 2 extra 30 rounders, with a coupled 30 rounders in the pipe ready to go and some tourniquets and I fak (extra batteries for everything) and that is pretty awesome but shoot this hurricane made me realize a lot. That bag is great for road trips and going into hotels so I can always have a rifle (I will always have it with me). But that backpack doesn’t do shit about being hungry or cold or needing to help a family member stay dry and warm. I’m reevaluating everything right now and I really need to add more of the less sexy (MK18 with glocks on glocks and combat loadout to more of a how am I gonna eat and be able to sleep type set up)

"Anarchists." Lol. Those are not "anarchists." Considering "democide" (death by government) has been the #1 cause of death for the last 2000+ years, blaming fake anarchists (closet commies) for that is weak. They don't even know what bathroom to use, so them wielding the word "anarchist" is also weak. Statism is the disease of tyranny masquerading as it's own cure. People should be responsible for their own liberty/security. Government is historically always wielded by the ultra wealthy elite... Yes, body armor is extremely handy.

I used to manufacture Ball Ceramic & Polyurethane plate products in TN. The ceramic balls were made by Coors in Golden Colorado. These products were not fragile and would not crack like the solid ceramic plates. After seeing the results at the test range, I'm a firm believer in ceramic protection. However, I run with Duritium plates only because they fit in my carrier and conform to my body better. LOL - like you said, I'm more nervous at the gun range than I am at the grocery store. Be aware of your surroundings and stay safe in this crazy time.

@@rebel_scum_ saying better off with no plates than wearing steel is like saying don't bother carrying if all you have is a .22. I'd much rather deal with frag than a hole in the chest. The coatings work to some degree to mitigate spawl and the carrier too. Not the best scenario but certainly better than nothing. Plus steel plates are backup for someone else, rage targets when you upgrade, or a weight vest for training as mentioned. Better options today as armor has gotten more popular. You can get cheap level IV nowadays.

I had the same thought about layering soft armor under hard armor. I would think that should there be a round that makes impact, the durable soft layer will disperse some of the force around the surface area of the pad. There will still be injury, but I would think that it would be the difference between bruised/hairline-fractured ribs to full-on broken ribs. As to which I would purchase, I think of prioritizing the harm I am prepping for in terms of statistical likelihood and level of harm. If I was a convenience store worker, it would be double plates. As an office guy, it would be the soft pads that can fit underneath a dress shirt, in case someone tries to rob me on my way to the parking lot and things get sloppy. I know people are prepping for much worse these days, but my priority is the immediate and likely harm before the less likely harm.

I put together a vest of full steel plates, front, back and sides. The weight is ridiculous, and really has to be felt to be believed. You would have to be a real prime specimen to operate wearing it. I feel that vest would do me more harm than good! It also makes you realize how much an extra 40 pounds of body weight (which I carry right now) is dragging you down.

I didn't much think about body armor in terms of civvie gun ranges until roundabout 2017 when an older but newbie guy at a range pointed an AK pistol at my chest twice within 10 minutes. Twice! After that IDGAF what the old timers at the range think of me (they talk trash, snicker etc). Whatever old man, this is guaranteed to be cheaper than a GSW to the chest or back. At a range where I don't know absolutely everyone I'm rocking rifle plates and an IFAK the entire time. Also, if you need them for a real-world situation, most likely you're not getting them if you don't already have them. Finally, great piece of workout equipment too, as long as you don't use UHMWPE plates.

the smaller lighter plates fit great inside your truck and car doors. Pop off the door panel and use super double tape or construction adhesive to mount inside the door. Reinstall the door panel

If you own a gun then you need body armor. Most crime involves handguns so soft armor has its place. 3A Backpack armor inserts 10”x12” are $50 or a vest type carrier/ 2 plates is $100 at Botach. It’s good stuff. If you have kids in school put an IFAK & a backpack ballistic panel into their backpack. 👍🇺🇸👍

Note on ceramics, the new Gen stuff is a tile system on PE. The tiles herlp reduce the likelihood of damage due to accidental impact or dropping due to the smaller size and overlapping of the tiles. The old Gen ceramics were a solid sheet and were very fragile as you said. Great vids ,🤘🏻

I'm amazed that someone in the steel plate community of manufacturers hasn't given the upper part something like knight armor had, a bevor lip at the top. There is also shoulder plates. I have both side and shoulder plates. Level IV all the way around. I wish there was a way to make level IV helmets without them being extra heavy.

Keep in mind, technically there is not a "NIJ 3+." For hard armor there is only NIJ level III and IV. III+ was developed from manufacturers and rounds completely depend on testing from that manufacturer.

I think that safe life defense stuff looks pretty good!!! The Fras vest stops damn near everything!!! Also they have “hyperline” which is super light 3A with room for a fras plate. I think one of each would be the lightest weight protections.
