@@theGhost_141 yeah, not modern like the 9x19 designed in 1901, 3 years before Browning designed the 45 ACP. Personally, I am partial to 38 Super (1929), 40S&W (1990), and 357 Sig (1994), all available in 1911s. I've decided I really want projectiles leaving the muzzle at over 1350 fps, which 38 Super and 357 Sig can do with some factory defensive loads.
Nice to see American-made body armor being advertised on a pro to a platform! I would like to see soft body armor tested with a crushable backing. Maybe a inch and a half block of Styrofoam between the armor and the steel plate Target. Because although it will stop the bullet and keep you alive it won't keep you from being injured. I would bet the 357 Sig would be capable of breaking ribs. And even a 38 special would probably leave a nasty bruise.
Really cool to see you shooting. Love the regular news and content, but like I said it's good to see you shoot. Stay safe and thanks for all you do.🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
I have had this vest for about 10 months now. Good vest and not overly bulky. Mind pretty much disappears under a loose fitting tee shirt or hoodie. Like all these vest though, it does get rather warm even in the winter.
I just purchased a BulletSafe ballistic VP3 vest 2 weeks ago. Always order a size larger than you are. Great strong vest, the carrier is very durable and the ballistic material is heavy duty. Great vest for the price of $299.00. I strongly recommend this vest for duty work concealed. I work armed security full time.
I like your range videos and while I cannot say enough how much I appreciate your hard work and due diligence reporting on our 2A rights, I'm glad to see you have time for this too
What kind of ammo did you use on the test? I ask, because your garden variety criminal carries cheap FMJ, which is actually more effective at penetrating armor compared to hollow points.
Fun to see you at the range. Pretty obvious you're having a good time. Sounds like a heck of a deal, I wish I could take advantage of it, but I'll have to wait.
Even though I had their old model, I picked up the VP3. Ordered large after watching video on Monday and received it on Wednesday. Definitely lighter and thinner than the old model and had mesh on both sides which the old one didn't. Also cut a little different for better arm movement. I would pick one up before they ban body armor for us peasants. Also the old one was pure UHMWPE, while this is is hybrid of both Aramid and UHMWPE. Again NIJ certified, and USA made for less that $299 with code is unheard of. Also I have some 10X12 PE plates that can be slipped into the pockets if needed. Thanks!
Great review! Not to be critical, but you skipped 10mm. And since you mentioned slash/stab resistance, a couple of jabs with a knife would have been appreciated. Glad to see you doing reviews and greatly appreciate all the 2A news and updates as well. Keep it coming.
@@Cavalier1645 I have no doubt of that, and in the case of a headshot it's all a moot point. I am very hot and cold about armor, mainly is the protection worth loss of mobility. At least the cost is not so prohibitive and access to the 'good stuff' has improved. Guess it's one of those better to have it and not need it deals.
Bullet Safe also has a Military/First Responder discount option if you qualify using Gov-X verification system. Nice to see you outside testing gear brother.
Just echoing what everyone is saying, it's great to see range/testing time. This looks so much better than the old ballistic made of nylon which I wore. Uhg.
The guy who started Second Chance many decades ago used to shoot himself in the chest with a .44 magnum. He did put books under it to keep from bruising though.
Thank you Jared I have been back and forth on two bullet proof vest. I won't mention the other one but by comparison and both being tested as you just did i think I'm going to go with bullet safe. As always my friend your awesome and are very informative I might not always comment but I do watch all your videos. Until next time
Bullet type and velocity determines whether or not they will defeat a vest not just any common off the shelf round will do it. Load a full size G31 357 Sig with some solid copper rounds from Underwood and see what happens. Also vests don't protect hips, legs, arms. shoulders, neck or head and those are the places that when hit will stop a fight the quickest. Then there is blunt force trauma.
Im not gonna lie. You look much more impressive and intimidating in armor. Its crazy how well you wear it, like a second skin. Like, really I dont know what it is, you almost look like a different person altogether.
Because they only offer their vest in black, I decided to customize mine with multicam. I am not the best seamstress in the world, but I think it turned out pretty good. Plus I added a grab handle to the back behind the neck, multicam Molle on the front and back and I sewed the shoulder straps in place.
I remember 30 years ago the event that I originally had it was a lot thicker than that and I was sure glad when they started coming out with shirt carriers that way sitting on a motorcycle you can pop panel open on the side and let some air in. I remember buying those special t-shirts That was supposed to be designed to keep you cooler with body armor and honestly I don't think they work. LOL being out in Northern California getting 95 to 105 and sometimes a little hotter was plaid interesting in the summertime. One thing is that is kind of nice and then put in the pockets already in it because I remember back in the day the front pocket normally was free but the rear pocket you had to pay extra for. I remember that my vest cost me about $800
Should have worn it under a T-Shirt and sweatshirt so we can see it’s conceal-ability. Otherwise a great job reviewing it and putting it through its paces.
Safariland Hardwire is the best, much more expensive though. But it is your life. I suggest spending the most possible money on the best possible product....
Wish I could afford it. Ive been on a fixed income for some time now. I was injured, and disabled far too young. Took a long time just to gain a basic level of ability back, without being bedridden. As dangerous as our city, and state has become, I'd have grabbed a vest out of sheer prudence, if I could have afforded one. But at the prices that many vests run.. I just couldn't afford to do it. But these look to be good quality, high end design. Can't beat American made when it comes to the buisness aspects either. Glad some of our guys are stepping up and making them available for our people. The danger is out there and its most certainly real. Prepare as best you can.
Waiting for the ATF to either out right ban these or make you get a license or pay an exorbitant tax or both, like suppressors. Still be good to have one in case of home invaders. 👍 Good video Jared, thanks for a great demonstration

Love seeing the content on the range. Fast gun law news and shooting content. What's not to like? Thanks for what you do g&g!
Thank you 🙏
Range Therapy is always good and everyone should get some time behind a 1911. Still one of the best triggers ever designed. Good video !
A 1911 is nice. But a 2011 is nicer.
Yeah. Except that .45 is a relic that can't compete with modern rounds

Well done Jared! Thank you for the vest review. I've actually been looking for a new vest.
Great review, and for the price that is amazing! Thanks for taking the time to do this considering the price of ammunition and lack thereof.
Awesome to see you at the range Jared! Seems like a solid vest for the money. Thanks for ALL you do.
I have had this vest for about 10 months now. Good vest and not overly bulky. Mind pretty much disappears under a loose fitting tee shirt or hoodie. Like all these vest though, it does get rather warm even in the winter.
Nice to see this. I own a VP3 and the fit and comfort is much better than my plate carrier loaded with AR500.

Do you happen to know if this vest is effective against knife attacks?
I like your range videos and while I cannot say enough how much I appreciate your hard work and due diligence reporting on our 2A rights, I'm glad to see you have time for this too
Much appreciated
Jared , Thank you for showing us that. Many people claim stats but you showed us the results.
What kind of ammo did you use on the test? I ask, because your garden variety criminal carries cheap FMJ, which is actually more effective at penetrating armor compared to hollow points.
Fun to see you at the range. Pretty obvious you're having a good time. Sounds like a heck of a deal, I wish I could take advantage of it, but I'll have to wait.
Busting those algorithms. Nice to see Jared at the range getting some trigger time in on camera.

Great to see the review. Like the fact that it wraps around the body on the sides.
MrGunsandGear reviewed Safe Life thin armor. It EXCEEDED THE 3a it is rated for, but way more expensive than Bullet Safe by 3 times.
Great review! Not to be critical, but you skipped 10mm. And since you mentioned slash/stab resistance, a couple of jabs with a knife would have been appreciated. Glad to see you doing reviews and greatly appreciate all the 2A news and updates as well. Keep it coming.
Very nice review! Looks like a great vest, I would love to get one sometime. Thanks for making the review!
As long as the armor does it's job I can suffer some discomfort being preferable compared to bleeding out from a sucking chest wound.
You'll still feel like someone hit you with sledge hammer when 44 mag rounds hit you.

Bullet safe is very comfortable and makes it easy to maneuver and dose not weight me down.
Thank you Jared I'm going on rite now to get one
Bullet Safe also has a Military/First Responder discount option if you qualify using Gov-X verification system. Nice to see you outside testing gear brother.
Bro i’m armed security guard in California I barely got this vest last month I really like it I got the tactical version🤙
Thanks , to the point ....on messing around.....love my Canik
Mom, can we get buffman range?
No, we have buffman range at home.
Buffman range at home:
Alright finally got some shooting in I love my range days I feel so much better after 👍
Looking at some I hope in the near future.
I hope you keep up with JSD Supply and keep us in the loop.
Thank You

Thank you Jared
Holy shit, a video from g&g that doesn't put me in a rage lol. Thanks man
I got to have some of this.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for reviewing this, with so many options it's good to see reviews on something.
This sounds like a great deal. I would like to see the damage from a 44mag.
The guy who started Second Chance many decades ago used to shoot himself in the chest with a .44 magnum. He did put books under it to keep from bruising though.
Thank You!!! Beautiful tools, got the job done.
Thanks Jared
Finally some gadget review.
Real cool Sir in this day and age every bit helps

Thank you for sharing brother, looks like a good product. Hope to see more product review.
Thanks again Jared
Thank You for all The Great Content
Looks like some solid armor
I love my mpx k it’s my go too home defense gun. I love the trigger on sig mpx k
Jared, love seeing you doing a video on the range. I think it would be great if you did more videos at the range.
Been looking for a good reliable vet for the money, thanks for the review.
357 Sig...an excellent choice.
Im not gonna lie. You look much more impressive and intimidating in armor. Its crazy how well you wear it, like a second skin.
Like, really I dont know what it is, you almost look like a different person altogether.
Always great videos and great information!
Just ordered mine, yay
I love my bullet safe vest
Thanks Jared. Great video!
133 comments and only 3-4 possibly expressing disappointment there wasn't a 44 Magnum used. I'll go cry in a corner now.
As I sit here, TDY in Oakland, CA, I’m wishing I brought my plates with me…
Among other tools.
Great product review 👌
Thank you
Wow...I want one of those vests!
Thanks Jared great video 🙂👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Thank you brother for another informative video. I appreciate you brother for what you do for We The People.
Love it ! And love that we can see the adrenaline running when shooting cos that’s cool and yay for that !
Great job Jarred ! Lovin it !
Impressive. Thank you.
Being able to up armor it is a good idea

Thanks for the review
Great video thanks keep up the good fight 👍
nice review.
Thank you sir for the review and all you do! Love this channel always packed with great information
You were having too much fun with that 😜
Awesome 😎 THANKS JARED !! FJB!! &ALL DEMONRATS!
That soft body armor is the way to go and it don't way a ton x Miltary 😁👍
Good content Jared
That was a way cool demonstration. Thanks for sharing.
I like these videos you should do more
What was the distance of your target? This is the first time I've seen you do a demo on this channel awesome please do more.
Do review on safe life defence
This is the first time I’ve seen you shoot, good stuff man 🤌
That is sweet armor
Thanks for the info. Good to see someone NOT wearing the vest when testing it, scary stupid world we live in.
like to see you doing some reviews !
I would like a vest that's made for rifle bullets. They should be able to handle pistol bullets too. That would be better.
Should have worn it under a T-Shirt and sweatshirt so we can see it’s conceal-ability. Otherwise a great job reviewing it and putting it through its paces.
Good review brother
Excellent value, paid a little more for similar from another company.
ty
Thanks for sharing!
Just for the fun of it yeah I'll use the 300 blackout In the 50 cow
Awesome review 👍 Thank you brother ✊🇺🇲
Safariland Hardwire is the best, much more expensive though. But it is your life. I suggest spending the most possible money on the best possible product....
I have same Sig MPX. Love it.
G'day, Good to see you out of the house.
How far into ballistics jell will the .223 go after in hits the vest?
Great video and great price

Good video Jared, thanks for a great demonstration
I wear a vest everyday while walking in NYC. Restaurants , subway, supermarket, you name it I do.
The A.T.F. does not have any jurisdiction over body armor. They CANNOT ban body armor. Body armor IS NOT an Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearm or an Explosive.
Can you do a video on rifle vs hand gun vest? Thanks Jared!
