Description
Hardcore Defense Alpha ShieldThe Alpha Shield is the first ballistic shield designed specifically for the home or workplace protection needs of the civilian as well as the duty needs of law enforcement officers.
Ballistic steel keeps the cost down while providing unrivaled ballistic resilience and durability.
No shelf life limits.
No storage limitations.
Keep it in your vehicle indefinitely if desired.
A ballistic shield is superior to body armor in most defensive situations.
It can be readied
rapidly and silently, versus fumbling in the dark with body armor straps and Velcro.
Feel secure with 3x the coverage of a 10 inch x 12 inch insert panel, and with minimal risk of blunt trauma.
It is intuitively usable by anyone in the family or workplace in an emergency.
Specifications:
Tested by an independent lab to NIJ 0108.01 Level IIIA. Protects against all commonly encountered handgun rounds up to .44 Magnum.
The Alpha Shield
will not stop rifle fire.
Supplemental testing verifies the ability to sustain
30+ hits per shield including hits directly on the handle bolts and hits adjacent to the shield edge and previous hits
.
The 1980s-era National Institutes of Justice (NIJ)
standards only require 5 shots of each test round to be resisted, hits from which must be at least 2 inch from each other and from the panel edge.
Would you trust your life or those of your loved ones to this?
Manufactured from top quality military-grade ballistic steel, polymer coated for appearance and environmental resistance, with a comfortable foam-covered handle
capable and forearm pad.
15 inch x 25 inch size and full edge-to-edge protection provides optimal balance of coverage, weight, and indoor maneuverability. Do not settle for an adolescent-sized 12"x23" shield or similar, in particular one made from ballistic fibers (i.e. Kevlar
®
, Dyneema
®
) or fiberglass (Armorcore
®
) which may not stop hits near of the edge of the panel!
14 lbs weight
Professionally designed, professionally manufactured, professionally certified.
Do not
pay 00 or more for similar protection from a product designed for law enforcement which will expire in 5 or 10 years, or settle for a chopped up ballistic wall panel with a handle you bolt on yourself.
When your safety and that of those you care about is on the line, trust Hardcore Defense, and trust the Alpha Shield.
No shelf life limits and no storage condition limitations.

Purchaser is responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal laws regarding purchase and use of ballistic protection products.
Hardcore Defense assumes no liability for illegal use or misuse of the product.
Note to those who have seen the Demolition Ranch test video: despite Matt's impressive hammering with a variety of big heavy blunt bashers, the Alpha Shield will not withstand hits from common high velocity centerfire rifle rounds like 5.56x45 mm and 7.62x51 mm. To resist rifle threats, please consider the Hardcore Defense Delta Shield or Bravo Shield (available direct from manufacturer).
Ebay required wording to list: "This model complies with NIJ Standard-0101.06 for Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor" Hardcore Defense pointed out to them this is the wrong standard for shields (we use a similar NIJ 0108.01) but changing it seemed outside of their ability. Trust us, our product is NIJ IIIA per the government testing standard appropriate for ballistic shields.
