PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

In a world facing rising threats, the RTS Tactical Mini Shield™ emerges as the ultimate defender for the Modern Hero. 

Conventional police shields are commonly limited to NIJ Level IIIA, offering only handgun protection. Agencies that field rifle-rated shields often receive polyethylene-based solutions, which are effective against certain rifle rounds but have a critical gap: they fail against the steel-core 5.56x45mm M855 (Green Tip), a prevalent rifle threat faced in the field.

At RTS Tactical, we’ve Raised The Standard. Our compact Level III+ Rifle Rated shield is engineered and designed specifically to defeat the M855 Green Tip, while still delivering the lightweight mobility officers demand. This ensures true rifle protection in scenarios where polyethylene-only shields fall short, giving officers confidence that their shield will perform against the threats they’re most likely to face.

Made in the USA and deployed by hundreds of departments nationwide, the RTS Tactical Mini Shield™ is built to protect those who protect us.

LEVEL OF PROTECTION

Level III+ Rifle Special Threat ensures defense against specialized threats, setting a new standard for Ballistic Shield Protection.

Defends against: 5.56x45mm 62 gr. M855 (Green Tip) Russian 7.62x39mm 123 gr. MSC (M43) 7.62×51mm NATO M80 FMJ calibers, surpassing Polyethylene alternatives. Real-world tested for unmatched reliability.

FULL MISSION PROTECTION

TRUSTED BY

The Rifle Rated Mini Shield is rated as the top choice for law enforcement.

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.
