Not a recommendation. Duty Arms Index records what agencies issue and what makers publish; it does not test, rate or endorse equipment. Specs are copied as published by each maker for the version named and can change without notice; output, battery-life and water figures are the maker's own and may use different test conditions. Verify with the manufacturer before purchase or policy decisions. Agency counts cover agencies with a sourced entry in the index, not all US agencies.
