my first body armor. Stopped a .45 left lower rib cage. Man what colors the human body can produce with a little help.

9 mm to chest but had plate inserted at the time. trama plate diffused the hit way better and the vest was nearly ten years newer design. Point Blank I think.
I think you have me beat for number of stitches.
And I am glad your still around to tell the WAR stories.
Thanks.
