NTOA – Battleware

September 18th, 2011

This was our first introduction to Battleware Centrally located in Ashland, VA just off of I95, Battleware offers some of the best tactical products on the market. In addition to their tactical outfitter business they have also launched an armor line.

Some of their products may seem familiar to you. For example, they are the current supplier of RBR helmets. Additionally, they have an in-house armor research & development and assembly capability in order to specialize in unique armoring requirements.

NTOA – Aimpoint PRO

September 18th, 2011

Restricted to Military, Gov’t, and LE only, the Aimpoint PRO features a COMP body and offers a 2 MOA dot as well as a NVG compatible lens. Additionally, the PRO comes with a mount with a removable shim to accommodate a variety of weapons. Ingeniously, Aimpoint also includes a sticker to record battery data.

This is a terrific balance of features and price and is, in my opinion, Aimpoint’s greatest value.

LE, Mil, and Gov’t customers contact Joe Strohman.

NTOA – Garmin

September 18th, 2011

Garmin’s GTU 110 is a tracking unit. Think of it as a tag. Boasting up to four weeks of battery life and up to seven days of location information, the unit can be immediately queried by phone or computer.

At this point the only limitation of the GTU 10 is that coverage is only available within the US and Canada. This still makes it great for tracking assets or investigative work. In fact, since you can check the data via the Internet, it’s a great way to keep track of a sketchy spouse while deployed.

As always, our favorite place to purchase Garmin is Strohman Enterprise.

September 18th, 2011

Sometimes it’s hard for those of us not in the southern border states to imagine the situation with our neighbor Mexico. Articles like this one from the BOLO Report remind us of the dangers our sworn officers and citizens are exposed to. Mexican drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) are utilizing improvised hand grenades in their internal conflicts with the Mexican government as well as with each other.

Read about it here.
