THE ALTERNATIVE
DOUBLE DUTY
An officer’s duty belt or tactical vest is already crowded with gear, so carrying a separate less-than-lethal weapon can be less than convenient. The Alternative by Alternative Ballistics solves that situation with a patented system that converts a duty handgun into a less-than-lethal weapon. Affix the system to the gun’s muzzle to deploy a blunt-force munition. Immediately afterwards, the firearm returns to lethal-force capabilities with a fresh round cycled in. The Alternative is available for several 9mm models and makes. MSRP: $50.
