Mission Statement

Mettle Arms hopes to bring you friendly, accurate and real products/services. I have 15 years of Law Enforcement training and experience, working with a lot of different folks. I learned that not every expert knows which way is up, and many novices have a great deal to contribute.

Keeping this perspective in mind, I have brought together some of my favorite Instructors and Armorors to provide an eclectic and fun bunch. I promise to do my very best to help you find the defensive products and services you are looking for. I can help you select a weapon (Handgun/Knife/ Martial Art) that best suits your needs, and help you determine the best way for you to learn/master its use.
