Can we change title to What @BlueLineFish is going to buy?

Lol..so far my interests are the ruger pc9, Sig p365 and what the deal is with this Franklin armory rifle. Gotta buy up before the laws change

Well, just ordered Ruger RPR in 6.5C to go with Ruger Predator 6.5C. Could not resist the deal.  The compliant Ruger PC are not released yet.  The big distributors should have the free state versions by now.  Some have sold out alreadty.  Demand is very high. 

Remington has announced a precision rifle as well, supposed to be released mid 2018, street priced under 1K.

I’m flying out there this evening. Any other forum members attending this year?

I have to try and get tickets for next year

Don’t you need to be industry affiliated?

 

Nope. You can get LEO creds if you are involved in purchasing decisions for your PD.

Customizable levels of protection + lightweight is what appeals to me.

Lightweight is good, and this armor is pretty lightweight - for each part. Together, it’s seems comparable to other armor out there. 

Personally, I just don’t understand the need to customize the level of protection - especially when it’s uncomfortable hard armor to more uncomfortable hard armor.

Are you going to plus up in the middle of a gunfight when the bad guys grabs a rifle? Are you going to remove a plate in the middle of a gunfight?

it doesn’t just snap to the outside. You have to pull the armor out of the carrier, attach the second plate, and put the armor back into the carrier. This is not a quick process. Who isn’t just going to place the two plates together, insert them into the carrier and leave it?

If you are going to wear hard armor, why not just wear rifle rated? You can get soft armor that stops pistol rounds and is much more comfortable, and covers more of your body.

The product they make that I do like is a rifle rated speed plate that goes in the trauma plate pocket of your soft armor carrier. That is useful.

Decibulls has a new "Filter" hearing pro set that remains open until a shot is fired - kinda like electronic earmuffs but with better NRR Protection (NRR 31)
