DKX IIIA Hard Armor Plate Tested Against the FN57

Evan tests the Phalanx Defense Systems DKX M2 Level IIIA hard plates:

“In this video, Evan tested our Level IIIA hard armor plate also known as the M2 against the FN57. The ammunition used was the FN SS197SR 5.7x28mm (FN 40 Grain Hornady V-Max). As with any test conducted outside of an approved laboratory, this video shows anecdotal evidence under uncontrolled conditions and isn’t intended to guarantee any level of performance.”

Highlights in the armor video:

Shot Level 3A plate from 7 yards
Minimal back face deformation comparable to less than a 9mm round (the damage cause when the impact is absorbed by the plate)
Nothing penetrated (went through the plate)

Rounds Used:

FN SS197SR 5.7x28mm

THIS IS A RIGHT-HANDED HOLSTER

Note: Each of the special edition holsters are hand finished and will have a unique design. The images here are merely representative of the Kryptek™ pattern that is used in their creation.

The Stealth Operator Outside the Waistband holster in Kryptek™ print is the only holster a multi-gun owner needs. It lets you fit more than 150+ different gun models and is the answer to your bucket of holsters for each one. The proprietary Frame-Lock Technology means that you do not have to take off the holster and adjust it or form it to your next gun. Just holster it and you are ready to go!

Even for those who do not carry every day, it is the best accessory for your range bag so you can have positive retention on the guns you use. If you use your holster every day, you’ll want to know that the Stealth Operator holster is far more durable than a KYDEX holster. It’s made of a flexible material that can withstand higher pressures without cracking and higher temperatures without becoming misshapen.
