Well, for some people it's a restoration thing (i.e. their model is supposed
to be up-armored, so they restore it this way). Or is this to discourage
cops with their wimpy 9mm glocks from annoying you? I, OTOH, am thinking
(way down the road) to put armored glass for the sake of protection when
winching. What do you think of that?
