Just picked up cold hard cash from my local firearms dealer from the sale of an S&W .40 package. Decided to put some of it into some armor.
I've looked through some various mix & match etc. Positive negatives regarding steel vs. plate. Spalling, carriers etc. It's a deep hole to dive in.
Honestly you can spend hours and hours researching this product. I have.
Talked to my paramours son today. Iraq Army vet. A ceramic plate saved his life. Not from a bullet but from some ordinance frag. He actually wanted to bring the plate home to frame and the $#@!ers wouldn't let him. He said he's never worn steel, but he heard the weight was cumbersome. Said he would go ceramic, because the pounds added by steel were not worth it. Better to carry more ammo. "The point is to shoot the other motherfucker, not to stand there and get shot multiple times. The more you have to put down range the better."
So I just decided to make a Black Friday purchase.
RTS tactical carrier with two level IV SAPI curved ceramic plates. $399.99. Apply discount code "Ceramic30" for a $30 discount. So $369.99. And a $10 gift card. So maybe in the future some side plates, but don't intend much CQC, so...
Anyways here is the link...
