Body Armor: Point Blank vs Second Chance vs PACA vs Safariland....

[BerettaNut92]

I think I may have found a source for body armor, what's the concensus on these 4 makes? I have no 1st hand experience w/ body armor and not afraid to spend a few bucks for the best.

Right now I'm leaning on a Point Blank Genesis model either in II or IIIA and maybe a trauma plate for foodcourt duty.

Go to Tactical Forums and read the body armor threads...of which there are a huge number. Most in the MDLabs forum. Interesting stuff going on over there...

Geeze Skunk, what's with all the body armor posts? Gonna get some?

Second Chance makes top notch stuff. I'd advise you stick to something made of pure Kevlar for the time being; at least until there is more research done on the exotics (Zylon, et al).

I agree with Kevlarman, Second Chance can't be beat. I was a dealer for Second Chance from 1976 to about 1990 and sold thousands of units and never had a complaint. As a PI, I occassionally wore it myself. The best armor in the world isn't worth a dime if it's not worn and it won't be worn unless it's comfortable.

Dick Davis started it all. Ain't cheap though.

Skunk, I told you Second Chance is the cat's meow. Don't settle for less. Get a Monarch Summit! You get a black carrier, and I'll get a white carrier. We'll be ying and yang.

I am sure that "Dark Genius" Or should I say "Dork genius" is making his pitch to be the latest, greatest maker of bullet proof vest .

Just like he was going to make a better stock than Mc Millian,be the worlds best 1911 builder, save the world one CIA operative at a time and never came through with it.
