Model 1969 Edge-to-Edge RF3 Ceramic Armor Plate (Single Plate) specifically designed for law enforcement applications with low ceramic fragmentation

  • This is an overbuilt, high-performance armor with built-in redundancies.
  • Standalone armor.
  • Clean, "no lines" look on the strike face.
  • Shooter's Cut or SAPI Cut (for weights, select variant).
  • Tested to resist multiple rounds of .30 M2AP* plus other threats.
  • 100% USA hard, high-temp rash edge protects ceramic edge during normal use.
  • Better than competitor plates: We use a crack arrestor, Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene (UHMWPE) backers (no glass) and a 99%+alumina ceramic tile array.
  • Thickness: 1.15".
  • Weight: 10"x 12" SAPI Cut, 8.2 pounds. 10" x 12" Shooter's Cut, 8.1 pounds.
  • Standard: National Institute of Justice (NIJ) 0101.07 and NIJ 0123.00 RF3 Ballistic Rifle Plate. This coincides with "Level IV" under the older NIJ 0101.06 standard.
  • Ballistic Performance: .30-06 M2 AP (armor piercing) at 2880 feet per second
  • Outer Material: Black, 1000 denier water resistant nylon
  • Made in the USA with the world's strongest materials.
*Please remember that multi-hit abilities depend on many factors and may not be exactly repeatable between tests.  We encourage you to look for consistency in performance between ballistics tests.

This is an evolution of the Model 9042 armor, with increased backing plate thickness and even more robust crack arresting plate.

All sales are final and in compliance with our Legal, Shipping and Returns policies at the bottom of this page. By placing this order, you agree to comply with all local, state and federal laws regarding the purchase and use of body armor.

*Multi-hit armor piercing capabilities dependent on shot placement.  Test performed on a slightly thinner plate but with same polyethylene.

For various R&D testing, including testing on the CROWN (most vulnerable location) click R&D Crown Testing.  Look under July 2025, Model 1969.

Highly successful additional NIJ certified lab test shown here. Resisted 2, .30 M2AP on the crown of the armor, plus 2, M80A1 (all under NIJ max BFD limits). See testing tab for additional details.  Ceramic fragmentation control successful.  See video here.

Test reports for Model 9042 are also applicable for Model 1969. Reviews for Models 6906 and 9042 are relevant for Model 1969.

Spoke on the phone with Wilson, he answered all of my questions and was very informative, I placed my order on a Friday he told me he was going to hand assemble them himself, while sending me pictures and videos of the process which was an experience I don’t think you will get anywhere else, I received my plates well packaged within 5 days, unbelievably fast from start to finish, will definitely be ordering another set soon.

Absolutely incredible

Listen these plates are amazing quality I’ve paid for the more known brands at a way higher price and they are literally not even as well made as these, I have absolutely zero negative things to say the shipping was fast and very well packaged and the plates stop atleast 4 rounds of 30-06 ap what’s not to love. I just hope that this company stays true to its roots the more they become known unlike other companies that raise prices and lower standards the more known they are. Highly recommend.

Underpayed and overdelivered

Ive been messaging Gilliam tactical for awhile about the armor and ive always recieved quick replies and great answers to my questions. The plates i recieved feel excellent they're lighter than ESAPIS and have more coverage. Theres a thick protective lip all the way around the edge od the plates to prevent from shattering which i appreciate because i often find myself being pretty rough with my equipment due to the nature of my job. Shipping was quick and it was well packaged
