Hardwire

Incredibly light weight compared to my older plates. Very comfortable. Great purchase.

I have purchased numerous ballistic plates, laptop inserts, clipboards, and even product samples from Hardwire. The lightest hard plates in the business. I'm even using the samples of their Level 3A product as side plates in the cumberbund of my main tactical vest. Their hard bulletproof Level 3A bag inserts weigh only one pound, and have a discreet appearance due to the colorful graphics which are available. Both the bag inserts and very discreet looking ballisticclipboardsare only a quarter inch thick.

The product is sturdy but flexible, completely covers face, doesn't slip down and is easy to assemble. It's also comfortable! Have given to several friends already and am ordering for all my adult relatives for Christmas.

The clip boards are a discreet alternative and perfect for the kids backpack. I had a few questions and the voice on the other end of the phone was genuinely enthusiastic to share her product knowledge.

I use a laser that fits in the chamber and projects a red dot when struck by a firing pin. It is great practice, but pointing a gun at some I do NOT want to shoot without a backstop is a dangerous habit. I clip a reflective target to the clipboard, hang it on a nail, and voila: all legal and safe. I have not tested the clipboard for stopping bullets and hope I never do.
