⚠️ IMPORTANT BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE NOTE
Our ballistic panels stop most common handgun rounds up to .44 Magnum. However, any AP (Armor-Piercing) projectile — regardless of caliber — with a hardened metal, steel, or tungsten core or a pointed metal tip will defeat soft armor.
Even if a round isn't labeled "AP," if it looks pointy or has a steel core, treat it as Armor-Piercing. Such rounds can penetrate police soft vests and will likely penetrate this bag. The only reliable defense against AP rounds is heavy hard plates (ceramic, steel, etc.).
