More options in shotguns and ammo
Remington is fancying up their classic police pump gun, the Model 870, with combat-style accessories, as the 870 Max.
Look to sell folding stocks for your customers’ existing home-defense pump guns. Choate remains a leader in this field and Brownells offers a wide selection.
The LaserMax LMS-1202 Tactical Laser/Light is designed for Remington’s 870, 1100 and 11-87. It has a white light unit on the right and a laser sight on the left, each riding between the barrel and magazine ahead of the slide handle or forend. It requires a shotgun with extended magazine for mounting.
Federal’s HST (Hydra-Shok Two) will get a lot of interest from your customers. A rangemaster from a large Northwestern police department recently told me his agency has dropped .45s and limited their officers to 9mm Glocks, all loaded with Federal HST 147-grain. Designed by Tom Burczynski, who brought us the original Hydra-Shok and PMC’s StarFire, the new bullet shares elements of both of those proven designs.
Hornady TAP (Tactical Application, Police) has been very well accepted in the law enforcement community. For 2005, Hornady has introduced a “civilian version.” Lay in a supply of TAP For Personal Defense. Your customers likely already are asking about it, motivated by advertising.
