Super Economical Model...like US Palm, but purely BBB. Haha. For the guy that knows he doesn't need plates; won't act like he needs plates; but sure as #### wants a set :p. Haha
 
I really want ar500 armor.

Advanced shooters cut level 3 plates, front, and the back plate.

As well as their soft armor front, rear and 8x10 side plates
 
I want to buy your guys armor plates, is the a quality carrier that you guys recommend? I would like something with front, back, and side plate carrier.
 
Any idea if you'll be able to do a 4x6 or 5x8 trauma plate insert for standard issue SBA carriers?

Also I look forward to seeing your pricing on this latest run of 10x12 shooters cut.
 
Here is my rig

S&J 10x12 shooters cut W/ antispall
Inside a Perroz Designs Slick PC
All Canadian made including the carrier.
The plates are in there so tight that I had to wrap them in wax paper and wrestle with each plate for about 10 minutes, to get them in the antispall made it quite hard to slide them into such a tight fitting carrier. I would probably have to cut them out of the carrier if I ever needed to remove them haha.

No kidding!
When I first finished examining my purchase (the plates) which I was pretty happy with IMO they are very well made for what it is.
I held the first plate up to the carrier and was like **** !! It's not going to fit. Than I tried to jam it in and still figured I had messed up and it was a no go but wrapping the sides in wax paper reduced the friction just enough I could fight them in.
Lucky for me the carrier is tough as nails I was shocked I didn't rip it.
But it's in there tight and for a slick style pc I couldn't ask for better.
The only downside was i couldn't decide between this carrier or the crye precision JPC so I got both. But like I said switching armour out just isn't feasible so I may need a new set...
Quality product Simon. Thank you for doing this for us Canucks.

When is the next plates ready for ordering ?
Click to expand...

pre order with pre pay discounts on 10x12 shooters cut and 6x8 side plates now posted
will be posting the options very shortly.
Even with the steel being made in Canada, the raw cost has gone up by 14%, but we are trying to work around that by getting enough orders on top of our stock order to offset that for 5-10% ,we are going with the same price as the last run, with hopes we get enough orders to get the discount we need on the steel.

Wow I wasnt expecting those prices. Ar500armor.com is reasonably priced on their website, but really expensive here. Why is that? Cant the ar500armor.com armor be imported for significantly less expensive? Not trying to troll. Just wondering. Yes I understand there's is an exchange rate. And print needs to be made.

We have posted this many times on CGN in the last few months.
The product that the company called AR500.com is not the same quality of product we offer.
They offer basic flat steel all the way up to XL curved plates.
1 ours are made 100% in canada those guys we found to be buying plate from mexico while saying made in the USA
2 ours are 3/8 inch not 1/4 inch.
This is not the US. Taxs are 4 times what they are in the US
You can't export hard armour from the US as a civi.
If you could the shipping would prob run around $60-80 us. For a set of plates.
We run 100% quality control on our product and independent balistic lab test. As well as field tests and our own in house Eng P
We are bringing this product to market at the very best price we are able, but as this is a safety product every step in making. Our plates are 100% quality controlled
Hope that helps
Go a search lots of post on this subject

This is not Armor from ar500armor.com. AR500 is the hardness of the steel. Ar500armor.com has been found to be importin Mexican products that are not of quality, and the price tends to reflect that.

Simon of S&J is actually manufacturing true AR500 armour plates IN Canada with Canadian steel and applying the proper Anti-spall coatings.

My 10" Ar500 3/8" thick steel gong cost $80, so I cant imagine shaping and adding an anti-spall coating is going to decrease the cost.
