These have been used in action for their intended purpose countless times in every country on the planet, including ours.

Not a fan of 5.11 though, I don't like to pay a premium for a name.
What's the intended purpose?

Sure, law enforcement train to shoot at the bulls eye, but once criminals know they all wear body armor, the smart ones start shooting for the head or balls.

Why this instead of ar500/battle steel/lapg carrier for way below $100?
Can you link me? I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. Yet something that won't fall apart in a few months. TIA

Spend an extra $30 skip this and get a Ferro Concepts Slickster and some hesco plates if you don't have any yet.
Except you won't find a Slickster in stock. They've been sold out for months.

Any deals, with plates included, that don't cost hundreds? Looking to Murph, not get shot. 🍻

Depends on the color you want, some are available more often. I got a multicam like 2 months ago and they have been in stock intermittently since then. Sign up for the email notifications from Ferro and check out the gundeals subreddit you should be able to snag one. 🙂

Have you ever seen a video of criminals shooting at each other? They don't aim. The point of this is to protect the important organs without having to block your entire face. It's a risk to not have a face covering but it would be impossible to aim yourself with armor covering your face.

If they are aiming for my boy bits I am counting on them having difficulties hitting such a small target.
