I've bought a ton of items they make and I have yet to have any issues whatsoever with their products. I push everyone who asks about any of the equipment I use right to their site. I have their metal plates, and the cool thing is that they shoot each master plate and post it to their site so you can actually look up the lot # and see Jake himself shoot your plate to test it.

Glad there is companies like them pushing stuff out for us in this tyrannical state. Good review sir thank you for always posting good content for us.

YES, more armour videos. Your the KING of armour tests, keep on going sir!
Always love the armor reviews or more of an armor destruction.

Just picked up the III+ (trying to lighten my loadout a bit) with the 60% off. I've run their AR500 & 600 for a while, and I have quite a few of their other products.

I know it's a bit more expensive but you should be testing the plates with a FRESH plate for every caliber you're using. Hit it with 1 round check it, and then hit it with multiple and check it again. This will show you how it will hold up during a fire fight if you are hit multiple times and with a fresh plate you can be sure the plate hasn't been compromised between calibers. Rule of thumb is to replace the plate asap after its been hit with gun shots, don't want to risk your life any more than needed. Edit: still good to see it took so much abuse before having a pass through!!!!

Can you try some Fort Scott solid copper rounds on some of these plate tests? Specifically the 5.56, 300blk and the 80gr 9mm.
They have video link on their website of the armor being shot at, what you buy comes from that piece or something like that

Is it an idea to put the armor on a ballistic gel dummy? You know, the ones with bones and organs and stuff? Some bullets it really hard; it would be intresting to see the damage, even when not penetrated.

Jake here (owner of Tacticon) The warranty is set for 6 years because that is what we guarantee the life of the armor for based on the recommendations of our raw materials suppliers that we source from before manufacturing the armor. However, this doesn't mean that the plate can't be used well beyond the warranty period if treated with care. Leaving your plates in a hot car for extended periods of time. Repeatedly dropping the armor on the ceramic strike face, etc will reduce the life of the plate. Having said that... a plate stored properly and treated with care will last well beyond the stated warranty period.

Bought their "battle belt". Airsoft tier quality at best. Molle webbing is paper thin and stretches. I used a lighter to shrink it back to flush. Stitches are minimal and not confidence inspiring. It's very comfortable but not very stiff at all. I replaced the buckle with a real COBRA 2" buckle. I run a Raptor Tactical belt for serious use and Carry Optics USPSA and the cheap Tacticon belt for PCC USPSA. I don't recommend their belts for serious use such as a duty belt.
Why not shoot a plate with some hunting rifle cartridges and some copper bullets or something? Just in case we have to use our hunting rifles.
