The first officer on the scene must go into action immediately to eliminate the threat to protect and save lives. Standard issue soft body armor is a smart and necessary investment, but it will not protect an officer from an active shooter with an AR-15 or AK-47. Without hesitation, brave men and women continue to answer the call to protect and serve. But who can they count on to protect and serve them in return? Buffalo Armory. LEARN MORE Buffalo Armory was incorporated in 2011 for one reason—to develop a better armor to protect first responders and military personnel in harm’s way. My personal experience commanding US Soldiers in Iraq in 2004 convinced me that we had a duty to develop a better armor for personal and vehicle protection. Soldiers were going into battle believing in their body armor, but unaware that the ceramic plates were subject to micro-cracking due to normal wear and tear and therefore subject to failure. To meet this obvious need and restore faith in protective equipment, the Buffalo Armory team, along with our industry partners, developed a new way to heat treat steel armor with induction technology and produce something far superior. Today, our steel plates outperform conventional NIJ Level 3+ steel armor and offer a better alternative to more expensive ceramic and pressed polyethylene plates. Our armor plates provide police, fire and EMS officers with the best protection from an active shooter armed with a high velocity rifle. Compared to expensive ceramic and pressed polyethylene body armor alternatives, our plates are more durable, multi-hit, and thinner. And at double the warranty period, a much better value. We are also proud to offer a certified plate with a spall solution to eliminate the risk of fragmentation. As we keep innovating, our next development will be to offer the US Military protection against NIJ Level 4 rifle threats. And so our passion for the right kind of protection you can trust continues.
