HEY, EARL,

KEVLAR IS GREAT STUFF. RELATIVELY LIGHT, MORE OR LESS FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO WORK (CUT AND FIT).

HAVING SAID THAT - - - -

I'VE TAKEN ROUNDS (HITS) WEARING KEVLAR VESTS AND I WOULD MUCH PREFER, IN THE FUTURE, TO HAVE 3/8 OR 1/2 INCH STEEL PLATE PROTECTING ME.

I'M NOT CERTAIN OF THE BALLISTICS CHARACTERISTICS OF PIECES OF FLYING CLUTCH PLATE, PRESSURE PLATE ETC. BUT I'D BET TO HELL THAT THEY'RE MORE DANGEROUS THAN 9MM, .45 OR .357 CALIBUR ROUNDS. MORE SIGNIFICANT MASS AND PROBABLY NEAR THE SAME VELOCITY.

IT'S YOUR BUTT, BALLS AND BOYHOOD HERE - - DON'T SKIMP.

Y'ALL HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY.

BLACKJACK
