NEW FIREARMS & ACCESSORIES

We make every attempt to only preview new products when they are actually available on the market. This spares consumers from wasting time trying to locate an item to buy when it hasn't yet left the prototype phase. Please note that during SHOT Show (January of each year) manufacturers often announce new items that are several months from stores: we still announce these despite not being immediately available for purchase.

bulletproof underwear for discreet protection

6/20/2017

Thanks to our $26,000,000,000 a year drug habit, Mexico has developed an industry in premium quality body armor so that their law enforcers, government officials and monied civilians might prevent themselves becoming another statistic. 80,000 people in Mexico are thought to have died as a direct result of cartel bloodletting since 2006. That’s a lot of bodies in a decade. On the other hand, we lose that many people every two years on our roads here in the US: so next time you hear your neighborhood anti-gunner bemoan the 7,000 firearm homicides (last year) in this country, suggest banning cars as a preferable lifesaver. 

Anyhow, back on topic. Miguel Caballero is a five star user rated manufacturer of discreet level II bulletproof undershirts for men and women (pictured above), as well as traditional body armor and protective vehicles. You’re probably asking why I’m giving a shoutout to a foreign made product, but to me anything manufactured as a direct consequence of our national interests (albeit drug addiction in this instance) is a viable purchase consideration. Similarly, the 1911’s manufactured in the Philippines pass my spit test precisely because the iconic JMB-designed pistol was developed specifically to kill them a century ago. As for Caballero's products, a climate of constant peril has clearly inspired great innovation in protectiveness: because seemingly no one south of the border can be guaranteed immunity from a barbaric slaughter by narcotraficantes, making a bulletproof wifebeater in Mexico is a surefire route to commercial success regardless of the 2k pricetag. Mexican elite will tell themselves “my life is worth the cost?” and narcotraficantes matons will say "I need that wifebeater!" Either way, it's one of the few zero visibility ballistic garments on the general market.

On our side of the proverbial wall, Armour Wear is an entirely American company making five-star user rated undershorts with level IIIA protection for your crown jewels and femoral artery. Even wearing these, something tells me that taking shrapnel or a shot in the groin would be cripplingly painful and possibly permanently dibilitating, but lack of a wound chanel would certainly guarantee your survival even if you sang falsetto for a few months afterward. Finally, another made-in-America company, Bullet Blocker, will custom tailor any undergarment you need to level II with the option of level IIIA plate inserts. 

Ballistic underwear is a great way to provide yourself with low profile, midlevel bullet, shrapnel and blade protection if you are in a profession that demands the appearance of civilian membership, OR, you sense a genuine risk but don't wish to appear paranoid. However, there ARE limitations to what can be done without forfeiting concealability, so if you unequivocally need level IIIA then coats and jackets are your best solution in covert protection, and both Bullet Blocker in the US and Miguel Caballero in Mexico have an impressive range of coats, puffer vests and civilian appearing jackets to protect your valued hide.
