Gents, Looking into the AR500 plates with the frag coating. What are your thoughts on them?

If you can get then you want the level 4 multi strike thin contoured plates. If not those Marine or Armee ones or just wear a couple bags of quick-Crete!

I acquired a couple sets of C's but have read up on this a lot and the fact that I will not have a supply chain bringing me replacements I will be acquiring some american made steel versions. I'm not super old so my thought on weight is mo PT...........

Im under the same thought. Ceramic is ideal but if you don't have replacements...what good is it.

I agree, getting holes put in me isn't part of plan. But then again having a good plan for the unknown is better than no plan......
