Price points and warranties on Original Swat Footwear

There are huge differences in the types of footwear that you can wear while working in the Law Enforcement Community and the wrong footwear means discomfort and unwanted stress.  Foot support is something you won’t get  out of sneakers even though most people are probable more comfortable wearing sneakers all day than boots or dress shoes.   There are always periods of break in and sometimes your foot might get a little sore when you first wear them.   The Original Swat 1232 air have a great reputation for support and comfort and is by far our lightest tactical boot.

The Original swat footwear company has a 1yr warranty on all of their boots and in over a year of selling the product we have had less than 3 returns on the product line.   With a warranty like that it’s less stress on a dealer on selling a product and much easy to support a product line.  There is so much competition in the tactical boots market that price points and warranties is a great combination.    The Original Swat 1150 are the Classic 9 inch boots and the 1152 is the side zip version.   If you want full ankle support and all leather size zip combo, try the Original Swat SEK9000.

Aim, hold and squeeze only gets you so far

Everyone learns to shoot at different levels, and we all basically figure it out at some point, but the fundamentals for shooting will always be the fundamentals.    There always little add ons that we can do when trying to improve our shooting skills and for those familiar with competitive shooting, without using a sandbag or a bipod, a good rifle sling can give you far more stability than just a good grip.   You have to learn the positions you need to get into and how to adjust your sling to the correct length, but I have watched people improve their off the bench accuracy dramatically.    You will get very good windage control if you are setup properly.

 
A new era of rifles are upon us, the M4 Carbine is probable the most commonly accessorized rifle out there, but there are some really well thought gun slings for it.  Blue Force gear rifle slings are probable our biggest sellers and have lots of good references from those in the sandbox.I always suggest quick detach slings because being that the M4 Carbine is meant for CQB, you may get in a situation where you are getting snagged or someone gets a hold if you and detaching yourself from your gear may mean getting away.   You may have to do some slight modifications to your AR15 when  you switch your traditional rifle sling over to a different configuration.
