Safe Life Defense PROTOTYPE LVL IIIA+ Test and review

Hey everybody, how's it going? It's The Daily Shooter, and first let me apologize for the audio, it is extremely windy out here today. Now, some of you might remember that about a week, a week and a half ago, I did a test on some level 3A panels from a company called Safe Life Defense. Now, the level 3A panels performed exactly like they should. I did some hollow points, full metal jacket, plus P ammunition, frangible, and it stopped everything. The only thing that it didn't stop was the round that we expected that it wouldn't stop, which is the Liberty Civil Defense 50 grain 9mm. It's a lead-free projectile, and it is known to penetrate level 3A armor. Well, now they've developed a new panel that they're calling a level 3A+, that they say should stop even Liberty Civil Defense 50 grains. So that's what we're going to try today. We have the same setup back here, we have a ballistics gel torso, still has the holes in it from the last time we tested the armor, and we're going to go ahead, we're going to put our armor plates on it, we're going to take some shots with Liberty Civil Defense and see if it can actually stop that particular cartridge. Okay, so our level 3A-plus panel is actually inside this carrier right now. And remember, this is a prototype, so I have absolutely no idea how this is going to perform. I just know what I've read on it and what they told me about it. The ammunition, again, right here is going to be the Liberty Civil Defense 9mm, and the pistol that we're going to be using for this particular test is going to be the Glock 17. This does have a match, lone wolf match barrel on it, and here we have one round loaded. This is our Liberty Civil Defense. So let's go ahead and set it up on our gel block and see how it actually performs. All right, so here is our entry point right there. I was pretty much aiming for the center of the panel, and I think that's pretty much where I wanted to hit it. And you can see a pretty definitive hole in the front of the panel right here. So what we're going to do now is we're just going to take this front part, fold it over and see if it actually penetrated. The other ones you could tell right away because there was extra holes in the t-shirt. So let's go ahead and check it out. You know what? I thought it passed through. It didn't pass through. There's little fragments. I'll try and get this better on camera. There's little fragments that were sitting on the t-shirt, but nothing that even scratched the t-shirt right here. Now after double checking the t-shirt, I'm absolutely positive that the first round did not go through. But just to verify, we're going to go ahead and shoot the same panel, this time twice with the same Liberty Civil Defense 50 grain ammo. Okay, so as you can see, we have a couple extra holes right here. Let's go ahead and open this thing up in real time so you guys can see what I'm seeing here. Yeah, you know what? As a matter of fact, it did even better that time. So look, on the back of the panel right here, Liberty Civil Defense completely stopped altogether. Okay, so loaded up right now. I have 10 rounds of 124 grain 9mm. Let's go ahead and shoot all 10 rounds at the level 3A plate, see if it can stop them all. Okay, so 10 rounds of 9mm full metal jacket plus 3 rounds of Liberty Civil Defense and nothing has gone through. So I'm going to say it's an absolute win for this panel right here. You can actually feel it's a little bit heavier than it was before. But yeah, definitely a win for this. This is really light stuff. So for it to be able to stop that many rounds with very, very little damage, it's actually a pretty impressive panel. So definitely worth checking out. Hopefully this prototype comes to reality. Okay, so I just realized I never showed the front of the Safe Life Defense vest where you could see all of the different holes. I tried to kind of space everything out so that nothing landed on top of each other. That way we could tell which rounds actually went through and if the panel was weaker in certain spots. We did have a couple land very close to where the Liberty Civil Defense ammo was and still no pass through. So pretty impressive stuff and a really good price. I'll put a link to Safe Life Defense, their website in the description box if you're interested. So definitely check them out. Thank you for watching. Please like, subscribe. Have a great day.
