2018年1月22日 · Most of the body armor worn by LE officers today will stop common 9mm loads. This is why the military went to 9mm. They recognized this as early the 1940's during WW-2 and actually wanted to make the change in 1946. The Russians have spent a lot of time and effort developing 9mm loads that will defeat even the better body armor.

2018年10月16日 · Just looking for thoughts on this one. A local shop opened up in town and donated a layered rifle/pistol plate called angel armor to the academy for testing.
