I guess what it comes back to is whether, if you own 10 guns already, you still feel that your arsenal is lacking something, and you're in need of an 11th and 12th gun so that in combat you can bring your best game for sending rounds at the other guy...
... but you have nothing to deal with the bullets that HE may be sending YOUR way...
Instead of buying another gun, you should be looking at armor.
(I'm in the same situation myself. Although I do have soft armor, I don't have anything that stops rounds from all those AK's that urban ghetto gangsters be carrying. I don't have anything to stop the AR rounds that trigger-happy cops might throw at me if they get my address mixed-up with the address of a wanted felon when they roll the SWAT team out...)
The think is, body armor isn't interesting. It doesn't grab and hold my attention like a new gun does !!
The plate needs to cover your heart/lungs/liver. Everything else, size, cut, composition/weight are personal preference.Now a question....
What about plate cuts and sizes anyone have preferences and why ?
Shooters cut/Swimmers cut
8x10
10x12
11x14
side panels yes or no?
curved yea or nay?
You should be putting cover (that stops vision & bullets) or at least concealment (which only prevents vision) between you and the threat in a gun fight. Expose as little of your body as possible to the threat, armor or not.Yes. I believe squaring off may be a better option even without armor. Side plates are always an option as well.
Squaring off offers a bigger target to your enemy, but side shots offer them vitals more willingly. Just like when deer hunting.
This is only my opinion, and some will disagree, and that's OK.
