Hardcore Defense Alpha Shield
The 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 5x 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:
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 within 1 inch of previous hits and the shield edge.  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?
17 inch x 34 inch size - this is a larger and higher coverage "Alpha Prime" version of our standard 15"x25" Alpha Shield but is otherwise identical
22 lbs weight
Manufactured from top quality military-grade ballistic steel, polymer coated for appearance and environmental resistance, with a solid handle secured with GRADE 9 handle bolts.  Our patent-pending design may be the only shield on the market capable of withstanding hits directly on the handle bolts.
Professionally designed, professionally manufactured, professionally certified.  Do not pay $1000 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. Still skeptical that this is the toughest out there?  Check out these independent test videos of the standard size Alpha Shield at

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 at close range.  To resist rifle threats, please consider the Hardcore Defense Delta Shield or Bravo Shield (only 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.
