Armor Express’ new Bulldog Carrier at the 2014 SHOT Show

We interviewed Adam Spinniken from Armor Express at the 2014 SHOT Show about their New Bulldog Armor Carrier.

The BulldogTM was designed for Corrections Special Operations Units but still offers usability for other SWAT personnel. The BulldogTM is designed around USSOCOM’S BALCS patterns that allow 4 main sizes. The vest is intended to be worn tight on the body for improved mobility and comfort. The vest consists of Front and Back Torso components, left and right shoulder components. The vest is NOT quick release-able and it was designed specifically for thinner conjunction plates. The integrated Dynamic Cummerbund System can be adjusted / removed with minor maintenance. The shoulder straps are fully adjustable to accommodate all shapes and sizes. The vest also features a built in tether attachment for emergency rescue situations. A removable MOLLE panel attaches to the rear outer carrier for quick mission adjustments.

Corrections Special Operation Units – The Bulldog includes features

SWAT scenarios – The Bulldog can be used as a crossover vest for tactical scenarios. The Bulldog does not accommodate deltoid, groin, throat, nape, or collar armor – and the hard armor plate pockets only accommodate thin, ICW hard armor.

    I am a Lieutenant with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Iam interested with the Armor Express New Bulldog Carrier from the 2014 shot show. I do not need magazine pouches, rather I am looking for pouches that will hold G101 sting ball grenades, MK-9 OC gas dispensers, OC Vapor Grenades.
    Also, I want Velcro patches for the chest of the vest. I need the patch to be a specific color and have exactly what I request. First- All Orange with Black letters (OC – on top with IN/ OUT- below)
    Second-All BLUE with White letters (CS- on top with OUT ONLY- below) if I could receive a confirmation that you received this, I will be interested in making further purchases for my agency.
