    Make sure you test the outer fringes as well. I know compass plates are good to go, but some of the other overseas manufacturers only insert a small amount of te hardstuff and doesnt even come to within 2 inches or so of the edges so the actual coverage is a fraction of the the overall size of the plate.

    Show some tests, and alot of people would be more at ease.

    So your testing includes clay for back face deficit or are you just shooting it and think that because it doesn't go through it's safe?
    Yes we will use ballistic clay to verify the back face deformation and to ensure that the deformation conforms to NIJ standards.

    We will make sure to test the edges as well as the center of the plate.

    Sorry but with out knowing that and being able to look into the company itself, Its not worth it. There are too many unknowns for something that is meant to prevent high velocity metal from entering my meat sack.

    Date of manufacture?
    Actually NIJ certified?
    Long term longevity?
    Quality of materials?
    Has this company actually made armor before?
    Has that previous armor worked?
    Who conducted the testing to achieve the NIJ rating?
    etc etc etc

    We are currently contacting the distributor to gather all of this information. We will add the information once we have it to the first post in this thread.

    These plates sound good at a good price we just need to know they are legitimate...I’d jump at that point!
    When you get side plates and have answers to questions you should put a package together.....
    Plates(front.back.sides and carrier) ......that I would buy!!
    We will post the information once we have it. The main point we are looking for right now is at the price point, if they do hold up to testing, would these be something that the Canadian market would be interested in.

    I would be interested in the Lvl IV Silicon Carbide ceramic plates provide they pass the testing and what others have asked. I might also be interested in some cheap steel as well.

    What would be the timeline for these to be available?

    Interested in certifications, though I think these are without for the price.
