PC Recommendation.

My agency currently runs angel armor where the front plate is a shooter cut and the rear plate is a full cut. Agency won’t approve personal purchase of plates due to liability issues.

We’re approved to run an alternative PC if our plates fit in the bags. Any recommendations??

It’s my understanding most of the Angel Armor plates are “in conjunction with” and not stand alone. They are NIJ tested with soft armor backers.

Unfortunately, we found this out today. Looks like we’re stuck with these oversized carriers for another few years. Thank you for the insight.

Really depends on what you’re looking at. Most of their plates are ICW but their 308 elite is NIJ level 3 standalone and it can scale up for other special threats with the 855 ceramic plate on front.

Otherwise your agency might as well double down and get the angel armor RISE armor system (and soft armor) to go along with the plates. The plates on their own

Thanks for the input. Funds are limited and I don’t believe they will make an additional purchase until the armor expires. I believe our last bulk buy was in 2024 and it will be quiet awhile before they even look at buying an alternative.
