GILLIAM TECHNICAL SERVICES (GTS) - EMERALD ISLE, NC - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. GTS has been in the armor business for 18 years. We usually sell out within days of listing additional batches. The NEW NIJ 0101.07 standard is now active. We have tested against every 0101.07 RF2 threat (see test reports in the product images). Please make SURE that these plates will fit before ordering. NOTE: Test reports show ceramic batches being tested in various configurations. An edge to edge version of the plate will be shown heavier in the test reports than a standard plate built with the same ceramic. See the diagram in the product images regarding the ceramic content of armor plates and how that impacts overall weight.
