I was wafting back and forth on which level to get.

I do student qualifications at an outdoor range when the weather is nice and it's a pistol range only, so I figured regular L3 would get the job done...

More than enough. Nex order, I would go with lightweight ones.

LOL. when you’re right you’re right. Got the set in and immediately put it up for sale. Sold the next day. Going with Kevlar this time.

Finally broke down and got a set... AR500 Spartan Omega AR500 body armor.... I know it's just a starter set, but I figured something was a whole lot better than nothing.. Front, back curved plates and 2 side plates with carrier all for $199.00. At some point down the road I will replace the front plate with one that has the frag coating....

As @rafe said, if the situation gets that extreme I'll have more trouble on my hands than the weight of my kit-

That being said, I've been looking myself for some months, but my reason really is just for range use with new students...
