Entry tool

Groves Incorporated introduces the innovative Back-up Entry Tool (B.E.T.). Invented by a Chicago police officer, the B.E.T. allows officers to hold a locking entry door at a multi-unit building open so that their back-up can enter without having to be buzzed in. Its automatic clamping feature holds the B.E.T. on to the door, creating a safer alternative to propping the door open with items such as pens, or rolled up newspapers.

Combination handgun

Taurus is proud to unveil the revolutionary new Judge Public Defender Polymer. This scaled-down model of the Taurus Judge still gives the ability to fire the shooters choice of both .410 and .45 Colt ammunition, now in a size that fits in most pockets and also in a lighter, polymer body frame with new updates for improved handling and accuracy. This five-shot combo gun is ideal for short distances—where most altercations occur—or longer distances with the .45 LC ammunition. The rifling has been finely tuned on this small frame revolver to spread the shot pattern at close quarters or to guide the bullet to the target.

Boot flexor technology

GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Footwear Fabric has been selected by STC to enhance comfort in its new Lima and Zulu boots, which are engineered to perform in a broad range of climates. This new fabric and Gore’s patented boot construction improve comfort in three ways. First, the boots pick up less water and dry out faster, which reduces boot weight. Second, the waterproof fabric protects the feet from exposure to rain and inclement weather. Third, the boot’s construction increases the amount of moisture vapor that can escape from the boot, keeping feet drier and more comfortable.

Tactical pen

The UZI Tactical Pen takes something as trivial as a pen and turns it into a potential lifesaving tool.

Made from high-grade aircraft aluminum, the UZI Tactical Pen, available in Gun Metal Gray, is a durable pen for any work condition.
