Good to know. I have several friends that went cheap even though they were advised not to.
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Good info. NOW..... imagine this company telling people, once plates have been returned. Sorry, we're unable to send new plates back to non LE or Military personnel. Under the guise of homeland security concerns.

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
Ar500 armor is a very civilian friendly company, not like other body armor companys.
Don't be stupid!!!!!
Sounds like they found out that materials from one of their suppliers might not be to spec.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Important info from the OPs link:
This recall involves AR500 Armor Level III body armor, including chest plates, side plates and ABS panels. Only AR500 Level III body armor with the manufacture date code of February 2016 and March 2016 are included in the recall.

Careful.. Their products are inferior to the same rated plates in the market. We shot many samples from ar500, hesco etc. AR500 produces the most shrapnels and get destroyed fastest. We have few of the shot up plates at the shop on displayOriginally Posted by beast556
