I was reading in another forum about a Tampa-area LEO that made a traffic stop and the driver shot him with a .357 Magnum on 27 MAY 06. Although the vest slowed the round down it penetrated the vest, injuring the the officer. The vest in question was a SC Monarch 329, IIRC. Although the officer lived, it's just another example of Second Chance's and Armor Holdings' (SC's parent) negligence.
FYI, the driver was caught and turned out to have several outstanding warrants, including Domestic Abuse - which should have prevented his possession of a gun in the first place.
All those who currently own and wear a SC Monarch, PLEASE get a different vest as soon as possible.
