So what’s the lead time looking like on these now? Is it accurate to what’s posted on their site? If I ordered on 9/20 am I looking at 12/1 delivery?
|
|
I ordered a set on July 3 and is supposed to be delivered today. A little under three months.
|
|
I ordered Aug 24 and recently reached out to check on status and was told end of Oct/early Nov. So the 8-10 week range mentioned on their website

Cannot seem to find any videos testing 1192. Are you all aware of any backyard tests?

Just received a set of RMA plates and noticed each plate on one side has a sharp edge sticking out of the center. It's hard to describe so I took some pictures here to try to show what I'm talking about ( http://imgur.com/a/Z4csMJm )
Basically on each plate one side is actually flat as it should be, and the opposite side has a sharp piece of ceramic or something jutting out the side. In the last picture you can see I can balance the side of the plate on the sharp protrusion. The other side of the plate can actually lay flat as it should. Top and bottom can also lay flat. I don't care what plates look like if it was made on a Friday afternoon or not, but the fact one plate has a sharp protusion coming out the left side and the other plate has one coming out the right side just not sure if that's normal or not. Fwiw my older plates I've had to wear and a different set of my own personal plates all had flat sides, which is the only reason why I'm asking. |

1192 are still new and on the expensive side so they haven't been sent to reviewers. But the NIJ certified lab testing report (much more scientific than youtube...no offense buffman) is listed on the product page stopping 30-06m2ap, m855a1, 7.62x39 msc all on one plate.

View Quote If you're talking about twistid1's post, we've talked about this in email and another forum. I believe it was the backing material that slid to one side in the bonding process. The backer is slightly bigger than the ceramic and it was flush on one side and on the other had more material. |

@Cclark0719
Thanks for all of your efforts and information. Your ARFCOM posts are a big reason I ordered from RMA in the first place. Its a big help and comfort, esp for those of us making the first step into armor. I really want (hopefully don't need) my plates before the election for peace of mind, but obviously want to make sure the quality remains high. Keep up the great work (and updates!)!!! |

Sorry if this is already been covered but I wasn't able to find it in a search.
When pairing these plates to a JPC 2.0 would it be a standard or swimmers cut JPC? |
|
|
Wasn't able to snag a JPC 2.0 like I though I was.
I know that technically the JPC 1.0 should fit but by all accounts it's extremely tight and from an email from Crye they says it's best to get a large JPC 1 for medium plates. Anyone here put the medium 1090s into a large JPC-1? I'm wondering if it's really sloppy. |

Mine showed up. Took just over 12 weeks. The 9.5x12.5 fit in a medium JPC 2.0. It's a pretty snug fit.

So the whole industry was dealt the shittiest hand for 2020. Hell a lot of industries were. I mean people were hoarding toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and basic essentials.
We've been doing everything we can to keep up even with all the obstacles. It is unfortunate that we're behind. Fortunately, reading other threads, were glad we're not 20-30 weeks behind like multiple other companies. We're doing everything in our power to limit lead time extensionsincluding Blake driving 10 hours to the ceramic company to figure out a set schedule. While there, their company owner told all of the workers that RMA is #1 priority and they're assigning more kilns to our plates. We're doing everything in our power to get these orders out. We've increased over 500% in sales, went from 11 employees to 25, added shifts, added $500k worth of equipment and software (some still being built for our needs.) It truly pains us to have the lead times we do. |

View Quote @Cclark0719 - got it, but for existing customers that are waiting for orders, we need better transparency as to when we can expect our orders. We ordered and had expectations based on the quoted lead-time that you provided months ago. I've called 2 times already (not overly bothering you), and both times I didn't seem to get a time frame as to when to expect my order. I asked for a callback, no one called back. I sent you an message here on ARFCOM, and never heard back. This is where my comment about being disappointed comes from. I have no plates, I've been waiting almost 4 months, and I have no definitive time as to when to expect them (and no one is providing data). |
