Is The Legacy Police Ballistic Shield The Best Ballistic Shield You Can Buy For The Money?

With all the craziness in the world today, it's not wonder Police Departments and many Private Sector organizations are becoming more and more concerned with the safety of their employees. And one of the items they are looking to most are ballistic shields. 

Traditionally, ballistic shields have been heavy and cumbersome. However, in many situations, they are an absolute must to help protect Police Officers from ballistic threats as well as blunt force threats such as rocks and bricks being thrown at them by violent protestors. 

Thankfully, with today's technology, ballistic shields for Police Officers are lighter and stronger than ever. One shield in particular is getting a lot attention for not only being lightweight but also it's ease of use; The Legacy Safety and Security Ballistic Riot Shield.

The Legacy Ballistic Riot Shield is an ultra lightweight shield which offers Level IIIA protection. In fact, it's a must-threat protection shield in that it not only offers ballistic protection, but also protection against knives, edged weapons and blunt forces such as baseball bats, rocks and bricks. 

NOTE: NIJ Level IIA can protect against 9mm Full Metal Jacketed Round Nose and .40 S&W Full Metal Jacketed ammunition, both of which are used in the majority of handguns. It can also stop similar handgun ammunition such as the 10mm Auto, .357 SIG, and even .45 ACP.

NIJ Level II armor is capable of protecting against all of the above ammunition, as well as .357 Magnum Jacketed Soft Points and 9mm Parabellum rounds fired at a higher velocity.

NIJ Level IIIA can stop all of the above ammunition, as well as 9mm Parabellum rounds fired from semi-automatic and .44 Magnum Jacketed Hollow Point rounds.

At just 9 lbs. the Legacy Police Ballistic Shield is incredibly light, easy to carry and manipulate in tactical situations. What makes it even more of a pleasure to use is it's innovative cross strap. This cross strap allows the user to suspend the shield in front of their body, freeing up both hands for required tactical or emergency situations. During testing, this feature was found to be an absolute game-changer.

The viewing port in the shield is a respectable 4"x7" window. However, that size includes the frame. I actually measured the clear, viewing portion and found it to be 2"x6" which still offered ample visibility for tactical, SWAT or riot operations. 

The Legacy Police Ballistic Shield measures 36" tall by 20" wide. This provided ample coverage for my 6'3 220 lbs. frame. In fact, any bigger and it might have been a bit too big to easily maneuver and manipulate. The size to weight balance/ratio of this ballistic shield is spot on.

The handle of the back of the Legacy Police Ballistic Riot Shield is ergonomic and offers superior comfort and grip compared to other shields tested. Additionally, this handle can be easily moved from right to left for ambidextrous use. 

The Legacy Riot Shield comes with a 5 year warranty which offers an added level of comfort and security when purchasing an item like this. And at a price point of right around $700 this police ballistic shield is really hard to beat. 

If you're searching for the best ballistic shield which offers the perfect balance of protection, weight, ease of use and price, you will be hard pressed to find a better product than The Legacy Safety and Security Level IIIA Police Ballistic Riot Shield.
