Of course, I can&#039;t really make any recommendations for pistol armor as it has been too long since I kept up but figuring out plates is easy enough once threat level, weight, and budget are established.]]></description>

https://www.strikeindustries.com/harf2-a.html can&#039;t speak to the company selling it (never dealt with them for armor) but these are one of the better RF2 (308 as well as ball and green tip 5.56) for price to weight to build quality I have seen if you are going for hard rifle armor and not needing full AP. With that said finding myself between you and Has where I have most of everything I want aside from night vision, higher end thermals, and impractical overpowered rifles but the more I get into reloading the more I seem to focus on 308 and 45-70 with pistols being a mix of whatever works with the season.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Nah...I want more gear...better sights for a couple of my pistols...a 10mm carbine...supressors...body armor. 
But we also need some new windows, a new floor in the kitchen, and to re- upholster the living room sofa. Oh...and a new floor for the indoor back porch.
So gears gonna wait.
16k rounds of ammo, so as long as I replace what I shoot, that should be OK]]></description>
