IROC Tactical Logs First Sale of New AR-15 MD Firearms Accessory To Law Enforcement Agency---Oviedo Police Department

Winter Springs, Fla. --- IROC Tactical, the Winter Springs manufacturer of high tech firearms accessories, reported the first sale of its signature IROC 22LR Conversion Kits to a law enforcement agency. The Oviedo Police Department acquired one dozen IROC MD 22-LR Conversion Kits to help train officers in the safe use of the department’s AR-15 semi-automatic weapons. Sergie Albino, president and chief executive officer of IROC Tactical, said the IROC 22LR Conversion Kits was designed for serious shooters and professionals such as police and recreational shooters who like get more training, trigger time, on their AR-15 rifles without spending too much money on standard 223/5.56 ammunition. Instead, the IROC 22LR Conversion Kits allows the Oviedo Police Department to use 22LR ammo in their training. This not only has cost benefits but also long term health benefits. From an Occupational Health and Safety (OSHA) perspective, using the IROC 22LR Conversion Kit exposes the officers in training to reduced hazardous noise exposure and concussive force effects that can lead to permanent hearing loss; see IROC Tactical’s article on “Concussive Force: the silent variable in hearing loss” in the June issue of Law Enforcement Technology magazine and Officer.com (http://let.epubxp.com/i/320907). IROC stands for Increases Reliability on CoMDat. Sales of the IROC Tactical products to recreational shooters have been strong and steady, Albino reported. “The professional market is a huge one for us and we are very pleased to have made our first sale with a reputable department in our community,” Albino said. IROC Tactical is currently preparing a presentation for the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police, which could lead to significant law enforcement sales, Albino said. “We already have tests scheduled with several police departments and sheriff's offices in Georgia who are potential customers,” Albino said. IROC's fully adjustable, tool-free muzzle device, other flagship product, adapts to any AR-15 weapon platform. The device improves accuracy, reduces jamming and helps the shooter control the weapon---stay on target---under stressful operational conditions. “Short-barrel gas operated weapons under 10.5 inches have a fast cycle rate, which contributes to jamming and affects barrel climb,” said Rob McNeill, IROC’s chief operating officer and principal. “The IROC MD properly tunes the cycle rate, increases the blow-back gas pressure and allows the bolt to remain open longer. Rounds eject reliably and the bolt cycles more efficiently,” McNeill said. The IROC MD’s tool-free adjustability enables the shooter to fire ammunition of different loads with the same consistent feel in every trigger pull, according to McNeill. “The IROC MD is the premier muzzle brake for any rifle platform, from short-barreled rifles to long-range sniper platforms, providing shooters greater precision and a more enjoyable shooting experience,” McNeill said. While not technically a sound suppressor as defined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm (BATF), the IROC MD reduces the weapon’s visual and aural signature while it improves accuracy and precision, and controls unwanted recoil and barrel climb. IROC is a subsidiary of Caveat Engineering, a technology company that focuses on innovative solutions to product development and manufacturing.
