    I have an unusual vest, one of the Russian Defender 2 vests. It takes some strange plates. Two segmented plates that, used together, approximate the shape and size of a standard SAPI plate.
    My question is where can I find such strange plates? I have a pair of steel plates but I don't trust steel and I'd like to upgrade to something more reliable. My current employment allows my plates, but I need more than steel. Where can I start to look?
    I've attached photos for reference if anyone needs it. These are dummy plates for training. Ideally I'd like protection of equivalent level III or IV.

    Got a link for the IR laser?
    I have this:

    I'd like this maybe someday:

    Treat it like a gun.

    Lasers are freaking dangerous, especially high powered invisible ones...

    I am very happy with it. Includes a nice little remote pressure pad. The lasers are a little bloomy and not super crisp, but i am VERY happy with it.

    Easy to sight in too.
    Turn on the vis laser and co-witness to your sights at your preferred distance.

    Thank ya sir.

    I had a friend of a friend come over a couple years ago & he had a BLUE LASER that could pop a balloon. It was pretty powerful beam to be able to do that.

    Get a carrier and plate system with better support? Strange and body armor don't mix real well

    I have and currently use much better armour. It's just nice to have options. New hires need some loaner kit too.
    A cheap ish carrier and hesco lV plate setup can be had for less than $600. If you dont want steel (understandable).

    A custom plate like that will cost well more than $600, especially with NIJ testing
