Nvm I found it


"The L210 is neither a Level 3 or Level 4 plate. It’s what’s called a Special Threat Plate. The National Institute of Justice, which rates armor plates, defines a Level 3 plate as one that will stop 7.62×51 M80 ball and a Level 4 plate as one that will stop 30-06 M2 AP (NIJ 0101.06).

But what if you aren’t really concerned about full-powered rifle threats like M80 ball? Most militaries have been moving to intermediate cartridges over the last few decades, as have most civilian shooters and law enforcement agencies. And this is reflected in crime; most criminals and active shooters in recent history have used either handguns or intermediate rifle calibers. Also, some Level 3 plates are not able to stop M855 ball due to its mild-steel armor-penetrating core. They weren’t designed with this threat in mind.

Therefore, some companies sell “Special Threat” plates – plates designed around a special threat not covered by the NIJ standards. The L210 is an example of this plate; it drops M80 ball protection but stops several AR-15 and AKM light armor-penetrating rounds.


How does the L210 stand up to different rounds? Consult the Threat Matrix on the Technical Specifications sheet for details. Basically here is how it breaks down (per round type, not combined):
5.56x45mm-M193: 3150 ft/s (6 hits)
7.62x39mm-M67: 2390 ft/s (6 hits)
5.56x45mm-M855/SS109: 3150 ft/s (6 hits)
7.62x39mm-M43 (Mild Steel Core): 2390 ft/s (3 hits)
7.62x39mm-API: 2390 ft/s (1 hit)"

After over year wait it's NFA stamp day for me.
Can was a buy one get one so it's was free minus the stamp.
Octane 45K.

Can’t wait until we close on our house, a can is my present for being a big kid and buying a house haha.

One thing I find funny is the fact that a house can be built from a patch of dirt faster then approving a form and mailing me a stamp, wack....

I really want a Glock 43x. Stupid CA roster. Luckily my pops bought a house in AZ and I'll be spending a lot of time there. Shouldn't be too hard to get an ID and some pew pews

Nice gun, roommate just got one as his carry piece. Just feels very snappy for a 9mm, kinda like shooting a Glock 27. I thought about getting one, but after trying it I’ll stick with the CZ RAMI.

Good to know. Wonder how much less snappy the 48 is compared the the 43X
I wish! Not in the position to do anything in AZ yet.

All I know is, the 19X is the ultimate Glock for me. I got rid of my gen 3 17 and 19 after getting one. I am even entertaining the idea of selling my CZ SP-01 tactical because I can’t see myself using that over the 19X now. Plus, I can probably get $1200 for it in CA.

I am still on the lookout for an HK SP5, though
Fucking goals! I've always wanted an MP5 but that's not gonna happen so eventually I'd like to own an SP5.

If I was more of a glock guy I'd forsure try to get my hands on a 19x. For now I'll stick to the 19 I'm building and maybe get an X in the future. Never been a huge fan on how they felt, but never disliked them at all. Hoping this 19 build will change my opinion to want to step more into the glock game.

I fucked up and passed on an SP5 when I first moved out here, thinking it’s Kentucky, everything is available. Then scamdemic hit and they are at a +$1200 premium over MSRP.
