Still very well regarded on Arfcom since Buff is doing a lot of legwork for them with the 1165 and XRT.
In reality I'd argue it is actually the inverse. RMA's reputation is generally good among most forums, but poor for people that have been around the block a few times and remember the 1145, 1155, 1189, 1192, and 1199 fiascos as they happened. Where they gained significant ground is with the easily-swayed crowd that would ordinarily buy Botach / AR500 - which also got ripped pretty badly by the 4SUS4.

>Then again, both the ACP-M and the Colossus Heavy are about the same weight as a 10x12" AR500 plate with "FragLock", and that won't even stop M193, lmao
Preach. If your options are steel or a 7N37-stopping 10lb double-strike-face ceramic solution, the choice is obvious.
Something funny is that the ACP-M must be rather brittle, because (IIRC) it's rated for 2x 7N37 or 5x 5.45x39 7N39. Going off those specs alone, it is possible it would technically fail the NIJ Level III test (6x 7.62x51 M80) merely from the high multi-hit requirement against benign threats.
It is not uncommon for AP-focused high-level plates to lose to the Level III test. Sometimes even half the Level III test with added training wheels, like pic rel RMA 1155.
