"Soo far so good. Sturdy build"

“We are glad to hear that the one order was received promptly, and apologize for the delay in the other. We thank you for your continued patience and support. ”
"First couple transactions were perfect. Had one where the product was never shipped. I contacted customer service and they promptly found the issue and send over the exact product with a heart-felt apology. The people are great, the products are great. I'll be coming back for more."
“Thank you! We apologize for the delay to your order, and are glad it was so quickly corrected. We thank you for your support and look forward to doing business with you again. ”
"5 star products and customer service. The plates, pads, steel target and battle belts are excellent"

"The Good: Quick response to my terse emails about my missing order - in the end, they came through and made sure that I received my items.
The Bad: I have never had to wait this long for ANY order - regardless of the pandemic, natural disasters, nuclear war or zombie apocalypse. I realize that they had unforeseen supply line problems, but I have to think that more established companies would have secured alternate supply line sources much sooner and had a better business continuity plan. Also, they never offered me any discounts or rebates or even a sincere apology for the unreasonable time that it took to get this order delivered - that part is just not how you treat legit ****-off customers.
The Ugly: Having to wait almost 7 months for delivery!"

"I ordered what I wanted, and they got it to me. I know shipping times aren’t fast, but they were upfront and honest about that. So I was cool with it. They also hooked me up with the military discount after I had already placed my order online, because I didn’t even think about calling and asking first. That was my fault, and they still took care of me after the fact. Much respect. "
“Thank you! We appreciate the review, and are glad we were able to help with the discount. ”
"I got a carrier about 2 months ago, last night got a carrier with plates an truma pad at 40% off, it costed about the same.
It did take awhile to come threw the mail but that's to be expected with so many people ordering.
Other sites are charging almost 3 or 4X the price for armor that's realistically no better, like it's the Same lol with a different company name.
AR500 is great.
I read threw the descriptions an research reviews.
AR50p is the best affordable option that iv found. "
