    ICW with AP protection

    Posted by Joseph Sweeney on Oct 14th 2025

    I snagged one of these to use while on duty. I added it to my Safariland duty vest which has level IIIA soft armor. Live in rural area so having rifle protection is a must. Super lightweight. I often forget I have it own. Our department is now issuing these plates.
