The Brazilian Police Pistol Shield
This guide details the testing of a prototype Brazilian Police Pistol Shield, focusing on its construction, mounting, and ballistic performance against various handgun calibers. The shield, made of 1.25-inch thick Lexan/polycarbonate, mounts to railed handguns and allows slide operation. While effective against common handgun rounds, it structurally fails against larger calibers like .44 Magnum, though it still contains projectiles. The testing highlights potential recoil reduction benefits.
