Law enforcement needs quick access to the best new products on the market — it is for this reason that the editors from GUNS & WEAPONS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT (GWLE) gathered their favorite products in the November 2014 issue.
Take a look below at six new products that caught their eyes!
Alien Gear Cloak Slide
Alien Gear’s new Cloak Slide is an outside-the-waistband (OWB) hybrid holster made from quality leather and super-strong plastic. With the Cloak Slide, it’s easy to reholster your gun, and it provides all-day comfort and stability. The holster features a plastic shell that is fully interchangeable for use with the company’s Cloak Tuck IWB holster, making the Cloak Slide perfect for open or concealed carry. The Cloak Slide is available for dozens of firearms in left- and right-hand configurations in black or tan leather.

HPR Black Ops Ammo
HPR’s new Black Ops line of ammunition, available in 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP, offers maximum knockdown power, as the Open-Tipped Frangible (OTF) projectile tracks straight through a variety of soft barriers like sheet rock, plywood, car doors and auto glass and transfers 100 percent of its energy into the target.

When the projectile enters soft tissue, the jacket and core separate, resulting in massive force trauma. HPR’s Black Ops bullets feature lead-free, powdered metal alloy cores that, because of their reduced weight, provide less recoil.

MAG-LITE Mag Charger
The new Mag Charger flashlight combines MAG-LITE’s reliability and beam-adjustability with a powerful new halogen lamp and an electronic switch that includes an array of user-configurable function sets. Use the flashlight just as it comes out of the package or personalize it to suit your duty needs with various click functions: full power, power save and strobe. With a quarter-turn, the focus can be adjusted from spot to flood; the flashlight recharges with AC/DC currents; and the highly polished metallic reflector withstands extreme temperatures. The Mag Charger is just over 12 inches long and weighs 32 ounces with batteries.
