There's an SF forum that I follow where they discuss the armor worn by the RA (regular army) and how bulky it is. The general consensus from those guys was that they would rather wear limited armor and retain agility and speed.

Interesting discussion to lurk on that was for sure. I know when our tac guys do a raid they were plate carriers with ballistic plates and helmets. But then you can watch "DEA" and they do high risk raids in baseball caps...I've seen a city SWAT team help them a few teams...

For those in the Austin area, GTdist has been sending me emails of a "vest shoot" demontration.

I think ours are Level 2 and we get them through GTdist.

If you are ever in the Austin area, go to the GT Store, its pretty cool

Ive been twice already. Love it. Just got a package in the mail from them. Since they charge for shipping by total price it is far cheaper to drive over for many things...the stuff today was a penal code and a traffic code pocket book so it was small.

I bought a G30SF at an amazing price through them. LEO only though.
