One of the things that must be remembered is that all vests can be defeated and all ammo can be defeated. Problem is you must wear to defeat what is being carried by the majority of your "target audience". If that is only a lower level then wear that and wear it everyday. If you wear what will defeat even high velocity stuff then you will not wear the vest everyday. It is on the day you do no wear it, some punk will msoke you with a .22 cal derringer made of pot metal. Another day you may wear the defeat the world vest and possibly some guy will smoke you with a .50 Raufoss round.
But you have to ask yourself, what vest will I wear everyday and what is my most common threat. It sure as hell is not that Raufoss round. Go withthe IIa and be secure in the thought that you will live to see your grandkids get married.
