Trauma Plate- IMPAC ST

[Valor55]

The NYPD had problems with PACA. When 35+ vests let rounds through that were randomly tested, they immediately called Second Chance. Secodn Chance went out of the way and has provided a quality vest. The NYPD just recently worked with them and has designed a vest specifically for the NYPD. Level III, super thin, super light, extended coverage per NYPD specs and a special carrier for the NYPD.

I wonder if they'll sell that outside NYPD?

They will, but not until last quarter 2007 or first quarter 2008. They are "denying" it even exists till then yet ever NYPD cops knows about it and the local citizens due to the press conference held here.

They have to now manufacture 38,000 of them to fill the NYPD contract. That is first priority for them. As a result of them taking NYPD specs and then making it exactly as teh NYPD wants, they are going to be rewarded with a 5,000 unit order per year! So as you can see, other agencies and and other folks will be at the back of the list for one!

I have the 7x10 IMPAC ST trauma plate and it fits perfectly into my SC Apex carrier. It's made of a composite material, not ceramic. Very lightweight, I would highly recommend it (especially after seeing that video).

Just make sure you shop around, I got mine for $80 a while back.

Impact S.T. plates are far superior to the soft trauma plates that typically come with a new vest. They are also better than than steel plates as well. Go to safarilandarmorwear.com to watch an excellent video comparing all three types of trauma plates.

Any reason on your first post you nring a thread that has been dead for over year alive?

Most woudl go to the Rap Sheet section and say "Hi" as their first post. Others would at least start in a recent thread.
