FULL MISSION PROTECTION

    Exceptional Multi-Hit Capability

    Relentlessly Robust Durability

WHY WE MADE IT

When it comes to Law Enforcement and First Responders, their safety is first and foremost. We saw a significant hole in the available Ballistic Shields. Current Shields are often too bulky, and heavy, and rated a Level IIIA Pistol rating, leaving our Brave First Responders without the comprehensive Rifle Special Threat protection they deserve and need.

The mission was clear! Innovate, develop & create a Ballistic Shield that bridges the gap and empowers our Modern Day Heroes. The result is the RTS Tactical Mini Shield™, meticulously designed to be rapidly deployable and at the protection level of Level III+ which stops the new modern threats our Heroes face.
