Which Level of Body Armor is Right for Me?

Here at Body Armor Megastore, we are known as one of the leading places online to buy bulletproof vests and other types of tactical military gear. In this post, we want to keep you better informed on which level of body armor is right for you. The research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), has created standards for the ballistic resistance of body armor. This is how we are able to grade our products. With these regulations set in place, it makes it simpler to choose which item is best for you. Right from the start, you’ll be aware of the minimum speed and ammunition size the product is anticipated to stop without the plate being pierced. At Body Armor Megastore, we carry three levels, with level 3 body armor being the strongest.    

Level 2 – Handgun Only

.357 Magnum 153 Gr Jacketed Soft Point 1400 – 50 ft/s

9mm Full Metal Jacket 124gr 1175 – 50 ft/s

Level 3A – Handgun Only

.44 Magnum 240 Gr Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point 1400 – 50 ft/s

Level 3 – Rifle Rated
