Hardcore Defense was founded in 2016 with the goal of providing innovative ballistic shields specifically designed to face modern-day threats. We are the original steel shield company, and we strive to offer the toughest ballistic shields available, bar none.  Whether for law enforcement operations, workplace protection, or home defense, our shields provide superior ballistic protection and durability.

We also manufacture body armor, backpack inserts, and specialty products like the Sentinel ballistic whiteboard using the same design philosophy and robust materials that have made our shields so successful.

We are a U.S.-based manufacturer, not a reseller. Our manufacturing facility is located in Melbourne, Florida.
