What level of protection do you want and why do you need one?

outside India, looking at $400-500 USA.
In India, they come from outside, local ones? not sure of how effective they are as lack of reliable data.

I would prefer a dealer there so that I can check it myself whenever I go there preferably in New York .

I don't think you can get a bullet proof jacket off the counter. There is a factory near Doiwala , Dehradun which imports the parts and assembles bullet proof jackets and then supplies them to the Army and Paramilitary forces of our nation. I was speaking to a gentleman who works their. They make to order and can not sell the jackets in the open market. The reason he gave was that if these jackets are easily available then the Anti social elements and Terrorists would be wearing them .....and giving our security forces a tough time.



I am sure there are certain rules (and laws) with regards to procuring a bullet proof jacket.

Google it, zinx. Also, if you plan to bring it back, you may want to check with customs.

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

like m24 said google it. the problem is that you have to try it on. a bed fitting jacket is a killer :D and no one that i ever met who sold one would never ever take it back once used :lol:

there are many types under the shirt or over. with panels and without.

What level of protection do you want. Remember that a decent .338 Lapua Magnum will defeat two - three layers of Class II Body armour at 1500 yards. :cheers:
