First-of-its-kind Ballistic Package from First Choice Armor

For Immediate Release

BROCKTON, MA - First Choice Armor, a leading body armor manufacturer, and International Cartridge Corporation (ICC), a leading manufacturer of non-toxic frangible ammunition, have teamed up to co-develop an exclusive ballistic package. The ICC526, the only model of its kind in the world, is NIJ 0101.04 certified and independently certified to stop ICC’s 9mm and 40cal super duty frangible round.

“We are so pleased for the opportunity to work with a company like ICC to develop such a unique and important product,” stated Karen Herman, president of First Choice Armor. “We are committed to responding to advances in the market by providing equipment that meets changing protection needs.”

When new types of bullets are brought to market, both ammunition and body armor companies realize the need to work together to ensure that law enforcement and military personnel are protected against their own weapon. The ICC526 is ideal for tactical, special operations and SWAT teams, the units that most often carry the 9mm and 40cal super duty frangible round.

With the ICC526 in mind, First Choice has also developed the Juggernaut, an innovative tactical vest. The Juggernaut comes standard with a fold down ballistic collar, Dual-Man Drag Strap™, throat shield, adjustable weapons retention system and a molle attachment system. These features plus various options make the Juggernaut ideal for housing ballistics like the ICC526 and for the varied needs of tactical and special ops teams.

Both the ICC526 and Juggernaut are currently available through First Choice Armor. For more information about either product, or any First Choice products, please contact First Choice Armor at 1-800-882-7667 or visit their Web site, www.firstchoicearmor.com
