Next, a 9mm out of my Beretta. 115 JHP.

Holy Smoke!

We were surprised to see that it had penetrated the vest and punched a hole in the clay.

In fact, it had even penetrated the 3/4 inch plywood on the back of the box.

This might be a short test

But, we had heard that the vests can lose some of their strength with age and use.

The Groin Protector seemed to be brand new.

Maybe it would hold up better.

We tried the trusty 1911 .45 ACP with Hydrashock JHP.

The vest stopped the bullet, and it made a big dent in the clay.

Since the Groin Protector worked, we decided to use it for the remaining tests.

I just moved it around so as not to shoot in the same place.
