I hear ya. If they had stock right now i'd probably order. But, no sense in ordering, even with a discount, if chaos erupts now. I know there are other companies out there but this stuff isn't cheap |

Old post.
In the olden days, at the Second Chance Shoot, Dickie Davis ran advertising videos shooters could watch while waiting for meals. One of 'em was about his Hard Core 3 vest. It showed him shooting one of his employees, who was wearing the vest, from a range of 1 foot with an FAL. Said employee was standing on one leg at the time and didn't even move back. Very impressive to say the least. However, said Hard Core 3 vest weighed in at 20 pounds. Second Chance is currently owned by Armor Holdings, Inc. And you need to check local laws pertaining to body armour.

The purpose of that demonstration was to show that a gun shot, even from a .308, would not knock you off your feet or really even unbalance you.

He would personally wear a level IIIa vest and shoot himself with a 44mag handgun. It was common for him to stick a phone book under the vest to help with blunt force trauma. While i dont agree with the demos from a safety standpoint, i have to admit that he did more to show police the benefits of soft armor then ANY other person. This all took place in the late 60’s-early 70’s and soft armor was unheard of on the streets. Today, no LE agency fails to issue (and most require it be worn) soft armor. |
