PRICE REDUCED TO $280

I recall some posters here expressing interest in a bulletproof vest. I no longer work security on the north side of Kalamazoo so I have no reason to keep the one I have.

This vest is like new. I only wore it for a few months. Size medium. I am 5'10" 170lbs and it fits me great with tons of room for a larger person (it's adjustable).

This is my roommate modeling the vest. He just woke up!

Short answer: it's rated up to .44 magnum.

Longer answer:

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_vest

Level IIIA

"New armor protects against 8.1 g (125 gr) .357 SIG FMJ Flat Nose (FN) bullets at a velocity of 448 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1470 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and 15.6 g (240 gr) .44 Magnum Semi Jacketed Hollow Point (SJHP) bullets at a velocity of 436 m/s (1430 ft/s ± 30 ft/s). Conditioned armor protects against 8.1 g (125 gr) .357 SIG FMJ Flat Nose (FN) bullets at a velocity of 430 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1410 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and 15.6 g (240 gr) .44 Magnum Semi Jacketed Hollow Point (SJHP) bullets at a velocity of 408 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1340 ft/s ± 30 ft/s). It also provides protection against most handgun threats, as well as the threats mentioned in [Types I, IIA, and II]."

You can find more information online, but there are the basics for you.

As I said before, this is almost new. I only wore it for a few months.

Oh and raciest. I didn't know we tolerated this kind of stuff on here, are we going to let this guy soil OCDO?

This will cost you $0.02!

God Bless

Neat! I'd heard quite a while ago that it was illegal for civilian use and I just took that info for true. Never looked into it. Neat! Thanks, Ry.
