I take it from your "IF" and "MAYBE" that you do not believe that I indeed did see the .357 Sig pass through a Kevlar vest, the same vest that was later shot by and stopped the .357 Mag., 9mm. 45, and a .40. Sorry. I don't know what to tell you but YES I SAW IT AND YES IT DID. The .357 Mag. was a four-inch Smith, not a six inch. The Sig was shot in a Sig, I don't remember if it was a 229 or a 226, but I think a 226. How reliably will it pass through a Kevlar vest? I don't know, I don't think they wanted to waste a bunch of money to pull a statistically valid sample.

I am not sure how many shots Mr. Wilson fired. I have heard anywhere from 3 to 7. I expect we will find out within the next couple of days, if they release the report then. Either way, it will be an interesting case study.
