The TSI shields feature a 4” x 10” multi-layered polycarbonate ballistic viewport with a 100% aramid ballistic shield design and durable 1000-denier Cordura® nylon outer skin. The combination of these materials makes the TSI family of shields extremely lightweight and affordable. Protechtactical.com.

– 9mm 124 gr. FMJ
– .44 Magnum 240 gr. LSWC
– .357 SIG 125 gr. TMJ
– WIN. Ranger 9mm 127 gr. +P+ SXT

TSI Shields include the following features:
· Type IIIA flat design with a tapered bottom for easy storage and maneuverability
· Free-floating 4” x 10” type IIIA multi-layered viewport
· Viewport overlaps ballistics in the front and back – reinforcing the seams and providing excellent protection from handgun threats
· 1000-denier Cordura® nylon outer skin with a durable, non-skid rubber outer edging, which provides weapon-clearing capabilities while adding protection from wear and tear
· Padded forearm rest on the body side of the shield that provides additional standoff protection against backface deformation
· Low-profile, ambidextrous rubber grip handle with nylon webbing, which allows the shield operator’s arm to be kept vertical in a strong-arm position utilizing skeletal support
