Red Guns are realistic, lighweight replicas of actual law enforcement equipment. They are ideal for weapon retention, disarming, room clearance and sudden assault training.

THE PROBLEM The service firearm is an officer's most distinctive piece of police equipment. Each year a significant number of law enforcement personnel are shot with their own weapons. Weapon retention training as well as weapon disarming procedures are critical law enforcement skills. In addition, police personnel must learn to carry firearms. They must master safe handling of weapons under stress. Officers must learn safe weapon use while moving during searching and room clearance procedures. The number of officers accidentally shot by other law enforcement personnel each year underscores the importance of this type of training.

TRAINING ISSUES The use of real weapons during training classes has resulted in several tragedies. Law enforcement students and instructors have all too often been shot and killed by "unloaded" or "safe" weapons. Deactivating and welding service weapons is expensive. Red handles do not readily identify safe weapons when held in the hand, covering up the grips. Aluminum castings are heavy, non-forgiving, can cut students and from a distance appear to be functional stainless steel firearms. Wooden and plastic mock weapons do not fit duty holsters or have the durability necessary for continuous training use.

THE SOLUTION The ASP Red Gun provides a safe means of training law enforcament personnel to handle, transport, retain and present firearms. These mock weapons replicate the exact detail of actual firearms. Each ASP Red Gun has the appearance and handling characteristics of a real firearm, yet is readily distinguished as not being a funtional weapon.

In every significant training area (dimension, feel, placement of safety mechanisms sights and handling), this weapon replicates its actual law enforcement conterpart. For training purposes, the ASP Red Gun has the appearance and feel of an actual firearm. The solid molded-in distictive color prevents the weapon from being mistaken for a real gun by the public or during classes. Red Guns are readily identified as "safe" in the training environment.

Weight of the Red Gun is less than that of actual firearms. As a result, injury to officers during training is minimized. These mock weapons are safe when used on gym floors. They will not corrode. The forgiving surface of the ASP Red Gun reduces injury potential during weapon diserming procedures. Red Guns are sturdy. The precise detail of each model provides a holster fit which actually facilitates weapon retention training. So close is the detail of these ASP training weapons that a number of holster makers use Red Guns for the molding of their scabbards.
