  1. Interesting article and nice piece of equipment. But it might be something that will get the user killed if it doesn’t actually stop an infuriated bad guy. (I would want a real back-up piece). We’ll have to follow this item on news reports.

    As a side note, I thought it interesting how shoplifters were dealt with in the past. Today most store policies just let the shoplifter go without confrontation. Prior to becoming a police officer my son worked his way through college at Home Depot. He actually witnessed a guy wheeling a flat of tools to his car and called store security. By the time they got there the thief was at his loading his car and was “off-limits”. This type of policy may be the norm unless readers enlighten me.

    Also, my son’s police force was briefed last week that they should not confront nor arrest shoplifters that steal items under $25.00 because it was not in the ‘best interest of the government’.

    1. Far easier to simply raise prices on the people who pay for their merchandise.

      I worked as a security guard at a shut down paper plant once. The company that bought it ripped out anything of value, mostly copper and stainless steel.

      They discovered that one of the guards had stolen about $27,000 worth of stainless steel pipe over the preceding year (he took it down to the local recycler, which was his downfall).

      He was fired, but wasn’t prosecuted. Too much trouble… not worth paying the lawyers… the guy had made more than twice what his yearly salary was by selling the SS, and ended up getting another job anyway a week later. It made the rest of us feel like complete idiots for being honest.

      Who says crime doesn’t pay? Your government encourages it, and even private companies go along to get along.

    2. I did store security work at Sears in the 80s. There were few rules. We routinely tackled and handcuffed shoplifters. There was a rash of thefts from cars in the parking lot so we had a guy in the lot doing surveillance who got in a car chase! It wasn’t even a lot owned by the store. I don’t think any store allows anything like that now.

  2. Don’t supposed you did any informal practice to see what it would shoot like at longer ranges? Wondering what range you could shoot and still keep a 6″ group?

  3. Nice review. But, with 12 foot dispersion pattern it may affect you in the confines of a home when used during a home invasion. And, if used for home, it doesn’t need the 150 foot range. Finally, I would use the $399 for a bullet launcher that would STOP a home invader, as I would assume he/she was armed and intended to do me bodily harm.

  4. Great review as always. It is like bringing a knife to a gunfight, better than nothing, maybe. If I need to defend, I want the best available at my disposal. I am confident the perp did.
