This is in response to your discussion on body armor,i have a level II A and 
wear it anywhere from 8 to 10 hours a day and find it particularly 
comfortable.It has the soft trauma plates front and back
i am not sure of the weight but it is lighter than what we were issued
only two years ago.I find this one more desireable to wear than any 
i have used thus far.It is put out by Stiletto soft body armor.
 My concern is yours,can a 22 Lr penetrate a higher threat level?And one more 
thing,i have heard that metal and ceramic trauma plates have 
deflected some rounds into the head of officers wearing them.
For that reason when i bought my vest i was persuaded to purchase them
(soft plates) by the manufacturer.I have also noticed that some vests
are offering puncture protection now also.
