It’s not a vest in a case. It’s a vest that is a case. A simple unzip, throw it over your head, fix a couple of buckles (practice!) and you’re protected in a hurry. It’s ELSA (Emergency Life Saving Armor). [ED: Born Free. Geddit?] When I saw it, the clever rig was loaded with DKX Level IIIA armor plates. It can also fit any industry-standard sized plates. In briefcase configuration, it’s completely nondescript. A paramedic, security guard or SHTF-type carrying ELSA could be completely incognito. Without armor or spare mags the vest case scenario weighs two pounds; the recommended DKX plates weigh just a pound each. MSRP is $449.
Am I crazy or not? Just watching the Denver /Pats game. At the end Manning is walking in the scrum of reporters and players. He lifts his shirt and I see black Molle straps on what looks like soft body armor. Any football guys out there can tell me is this regular gear for him or is it armor I assume for security?
That’ll go well with my 2001 early model Dell Inspiron that folds into a gas mask.
The smaller the niche a small company operates in (in this case, silencers), the more reason to remain small and independent. Remington and Freedom Group manage products for the masses….completely out of line fundamentally with AAC’s products. The buyout was doomed from the beginning.
Silencerco I hope you guys are listening…..
Only downside to the 2022 is the cost of additional mags.
Ignoring commands to drop a weapon.
Advancing on the cop with a weapon.
Cop was backing away and they guy was following.
Using the furniture as a reference, I would say they were within 10 ft of each other and that guy could have lunged and been on the cop in a second if he wanted to.
Cop shot until there was no longer a threat and then stopped.
Good shoot.
This is the second major ethic issue we’ve seen with Freedom Group that I know of. The first was the absolute wreckage they made of Marlin and the damage done to Marlin’s employees and above all quality control.
For a horrifyingly long period of time Marlin levergun quality control was bad enough that the end products were fairly described as “vaguely gun-shaped objects” that should never have shipped.
With this ruling we have a pretty good case that we need to consider a mass boycott of FG, period.

I purchase my 410 new in 1997. It was the first gun I owned. I still have it and it shines as it did the day I bought it. I have had a problem trying to find todays vaule for this gun. Would you know or recommend a free website where I can obtain this information?
Great product!!!!
If some of you knew of the specific operations where this “Specific-Type” body armor is necessary and deployed you’d understand the reasoning, concepts and applications.
Carry on, (go back to reading your sticky monthly SOF magazine).
