LEO Back Up Gun

I will carry something powerful enough to defeat body armour as a backup when I start....its not easy to unlock the ar15 quickly from the rack in the cars...

All that comes to mind in that category is the FN FiveSeveN. That'd be a helluva BUG!

Any of the LEOs in this thread care to comment on mine?

indeed, anything faster than a 9mm will defeat standard leo/military vests, as all of them I've seen are good for one 9mm, multiple 45s, etc....


that being said, a .38 super, 5.7x28, 357 sig & mag, 38 special, and such should defeat it relatively easy. I just fear coming across someone who is wearing armour, and have thought "what if" so, .38 super, then ar15 if the pistol didn't work.....at least I'd have something that'd hit em harder than the duty weapon

With the exception of 5.7x28 on that list, all I can say is:

ARE YOU ON DRUGS

the armour I have seen, vests, read "Only good for 9mm or less velocity"

but nvm, who knows if its standardized.

Those would have to be some of the crappiest vests on the market. The LevelIIA vest that I trusted my life to was rated for up to .357magnum. The IIIA's and IV's are rated up to centerfire rifle with the ceramic plate armor.

ahhhh, see all I was saying is what I have personally seen, so I don't know much other than that. hmmm, with all that being said, I suppose a round could accidentally drift upwards a bit, or I need to price an fn......

thanks for enlightening tho, enough of the

Your vest needs to be rated to stop the ammo in your carry gun.
