Just curious? Having worked for Point Blank for 10 years I was suddenly terminated, without cause, by the Big Brooks guy in December of 2005. This after I had realized over $1,000,000 in cost cutting measures by reconfiguring their supply chain and revising their shipping procedures. I haven’t seen any more news on either DHBrooks or Sandra since the initial postings back in 2006. Is there any progress on their case(s)? I also hear that they are still supplying body armor to the US Military and various law enforcement agencies. By the way a similar situation occured with the NYPD body armor a number of years ago

Hey Chritian just a comment about the accuracy of your research; Dave Brooks didn’t found Point Blank. He bought it out of Bankruptsy from a group that bought it from a guy named Stone. I think he was the founder, and he sold it to some bean counters and they ran it, then most successful body armor company, into the ground.
Then DAve bought it!

New Armor has been developed by Combatbodyarmor Company to address X-SAPI. Weight is much less than current ESAPIS and built to withstand even the worst punishment and take many more hits from 7.62x54R Ballistics. Designed to be attached to current Vests. Willbe displayed at Shot Show Las Vegas in Feb 08.

Kudos, mon frere. Don’t let this one drop. I expect you might be leary of the Main Stream Media (I WAS MSM for a while, I know know something about the prevalent idiot quotient). Just keep an eye out on how things develop. If things smell worse then usual with the trial, I’d suggest trying to The Post to spread some noise. They ain’t perfect, but they broke open the Walter Reed fiasco & they’ve been pretty responsive when it comes to anti-soldier stories. Just a thought. Anyway, you’ve got my email address & I still know know a couple of folks at The Post, including one of the principals on the Walter Reed Series. She might not like me much these days, but I don’t think she’d pass on a tip. So that’s another route. Keep it in the news. I’ll help if I can.

George,
Yes, the DS is a more complex design, but I think this boils down to QAQC issues. I don’t care how complex DS is compared to Interceptor, if there is poor QAQC, well you can see what happened with point blank recalls, likewise with DS the “butt joint” issue with a row of discs not having adhesive was a direct result of poor QAQC. However I will give Pinnacle the benefit of the doubt because they are pioneering a new design, learning from mistakes and correcting them.

I don’t think this says anything about dragon skin. As I recall, (one of many)knocks on dragon skin was that it fell apart when exposed to high temperatures, such as those in Iraq or in a shipping container under the desert sun.
