Protech Defender X 20x34 Type IIIA Ballistic Shield | Mid-Size Lightweight Handgun Threat Protection for High-Speed Entries (Optional FoxFury Light)

From PROTECH® Tactical, the leader in ballistic shield manufacturing, the Defender X is a mid-sized model in the innovative X Series of ultra-lightweight Type IIIA ballistic shields. Built with a patent-pending process that molds the lens cap directly into the shield body during ballistic material pressing, this design eliminates traditional weak points, excess hardware, and unnecessary components—delivering superior ballistic integrity at a reduced weight.

Taking its dimensions from the original Defender shield, the Defender X measures approximately 20" x 34" and is ideal for high-speed entries and active shooter responses. It offers an excellent balance of coverage, mobility, and protection as one of the lightest handgun-threat shields available.
