A thick chain necklace likely saved a Colorado man’s life when it stopped a bullet from going through his neck, according to police who called the incident “just incredible.”

Police from Commerce City, located just outside of Denver, said the braided metal necklace was the only thing between the man and his maker when he was shot at following an argument with another man on Tuesday.

The roughly half-inch chain worn around the man’s neck stopped a .22 caliber bullet in its tracks — leaving the shooting victim with only a minor puncture wound, cops said.

“We’d say he really dodged a bullet– but in reality, he LODGED a bullet,” the department said in a Facebook post.

The necklace “is likely the only reason the victim of a shooting we responded to yesterday is still alive,” it added.

The gunman, who was not identified, was arrested at the scene and charged with attempted murder.

Police noted that while the necklace is silver in color, it’s likely not pure silver as silver is a softer metal and wouldn’t have stopped a bullet.

“Maybe think twice before you knock a knock-off,” the department quipped.
