My Estimates

Pistol ammo and shot <1100fps: 1/4"
Pistol ammo and shot 1100-1400fps: 1/2"
Pistol ammo and shot >1400-1500: 3/4"
Over that probably requires hard armor

And good luck cutting it. You will see what I mean when you try.

If you have a need for body armor, you are better off getting a commercial vest that is rated for what you want to stop.
