A 2019 FBI study revealed that 45.7% of all US homicides were committed using a pistol, while just 2.6% involved a rifle and 10.6% involved a knife. While rifle-rated plates offer excellent ballistic protection, they may not always be practical due to weight, size, and concealability concerns. Our new Level IIIA plate addresses these issues, weighing just over 1 lb. and providing protection against common pistol rounds up to .44 magnum.
This 9.5" x 12.5" multi-curved SAPI cut plate is made of polyethylene and finished with a proprietary high-strength lining similar to that found on our AR500/600 steel plates. Ideal for security guards, police officers, concealed carry, and adding ballistic protection to items like backpacks, this plate is an excellent option for both civilians and government agencies seeking a low-profile, lightweight plate.
