Are they all from the same lot? I'd contact estate. I went through a couple cases of Estate heavy game loads - they're the target loads that cycle best through my 11-87.

That's why I got a Google Chromecast.

You do get charged for tax now.

Sounds good. Feel free to hit up some of the IDPA matches a Somerset County...

Rubberized Talon for my Nano.

True - but some stuff I've seen online are just the bare plates themselves with no anti-spalling lining/etc.

I would pick Ceramic Rifle plates over AR500 steel. Steel will splatter and send fragments who knows where...

Doh - tied up that day too

LVSC? Been there - it's definitely a great time.

I bought 5 of the CKRT knife combos. If anyone wants one, let me know. I believe Jon already wants one.

What? The pen works. I've used it on my AR15 upper when I chopped off the bayo lug. I'd say it looks fine.

AR500 Steel plate armor = 7.5-10lbs a plate. Front and back = 15-20 lbs.... pass.

http://www.obdogs.com/ It's 8 Stages, 120 rounds. Bring at least 150. If you've never done IDPA before, bring an OWB holster. You don't need a concealment garment. For semi autos bring 3 mags (most likely will only need 2). 50% of your body should be behind cover. Mostly keep your legs behind cover and lean out to shoot. Basically shoot 'till you're empty then reload (behind cover).

I've been reading stuff about people using plates for 5-6 years (fairly constant use).... and they will still hold up to their specified levels when tested under fire. People are saying 20+ year old vests hold up as well. With proper storage (out of sunlight and moisture) I feel fine with leaving them sitting.

I could be wrong - I emailed them for the info on the plates - a quick google search found a link that said 4.5lbs each plate. I'll wait for their reply. I'm not worried about rifle rounds honestly - I'm more worried about pistol rounds. Edit: They just got back to me with the info: One large IIIA Soft armor panel weighs 1.35lbs. That's nothing....

Apparently these ceramic plates weigh 4.5lbs each from what I've found. That's not bad - 9lbs + my plate carrier + ammo loads and mags....

Oooooooohhhhhhhhhh...... Nice!

Forget those - Use a Gun Blue pen http://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-PRESTO-BLUE-TOUCH/dp/B002E6R786

'tis but a scratch.

Do you guys distill your own water or buy it?

I already have a plate carrier - I think I'm just going to get the IIIA plates. I'm more worried about getting shot with a handgun round by a gangbanger than a rifle round.

Primary Arms has their US Palm Defender body armor on sale (15% off using code 15OFF) - https://www.primaryarms.com/US-Palm-Defender-s/3998.htm Thoughts? I was thinking of picking it up just in case....

Picked up a handgun then got a GSG-522? Steve's an Enabler!

Federal Truball rifled slugs, yes.
