Major Announcement October 2026

Many thanks to all of our customers over the last many years. We appreciate all of your support.  

Beginning in 2027, we will be shutting down production of most armor models.  We will be focused on providing NIJ CPL certified armor, ARMORFILM™, manufacturing for other companies and building some limited custom armor.  However, much of the custom armor will also be reduced.  The extent of our continuing custom armor business has not been decided.

We are moving in this new direction in order to focus on higher end, highest performing armor and do not plan to continue provision of non-NIJ certified armor beyond our current supply. This is about bandwidth and focus on what we want our brand to represent.

If you have considered getting some of our existing, well tested, affordable armor - I encourage you to do so now.  As many models sell out, we will NOT be purchasing replacement materials.  Incoming products will be more expensive with materials selectively sourced.

All current and future armor is and will be tested by NIJ accredited labs and warranties (retired or current models) will always be honored.

Our supply chains will also be tightened to include ballistically related materials from NATO member states only. 

Please watch this blog for upcoming announcements related to this shift in focus.

Thank you -

Gilliam Arms
