OUR TOP PICKS
Level III+ Rifle Special Threats Mini Shield
Surprisingly, many department-issued handheld ballistic shields are not rated to provide any protection against rifle fire. Law enforcement pros must be prepared to defend against threats from AR-15s. RTS’s Mini Shield is made of Level III+ rated steel, designed to counter the small, fast-moving 5.56, M855, and Steel Core 7.62 x 39 rounds that have the tendency to punch clean through some armor. This handheld ballistic shield is less than a quarter-inch think and encapsulated in a Polyurea coating to ensure long-term durable use, and the heavy duty handle and quick-release strap system lets you move and operate with ease.
Hero’s Level IIIA NIJ 06 Concealable Vest
Developed for law enforcement professionals, this vest is low profile enough to be worn by regular civilians seeking peace of mind in a dangerous world. The level IIIA front and back armor panels provide full wrap-around protection, and is designed to be worn underneath your clothes, though it’s perfectly comfortable and effective when thrown over a shirt as well. The LevelIIIA NIJ-certified armor can stop all common handgun rounds including .357 Magnum, .357SIG, 9mm, .40 S&W, 45ACP and 44 Magnum and .38 Special. It also stops most shotgun rounds including slugs and buckshot.
