INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

First Class International Package is the most affordable shipping option but please be aware that it may take between 4 - 10 weeks for delivery depending on your location.

All prices on our site are in US dollars. Your credit card company will bill you with your local currency at the current exchange rate.

When ordering outside of United States of America, the recipient is responsible for assuring the product can be legally imported to the destination country.

The recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are imposed once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient. 221B Tactical has no control over these charges, nor can predict what they may be.

Customs, duties, and taxes are non-refundable: so a shipment that is refused because of unexpected import fees, the cost of the original shipping and any return shipping charges will not be refunded. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.

To avoid a delay in receiving your order from customs, we strongly suggest:

  • Providing a phone number where you can be reached by customs when your product arrives. This phone number will be listed on the commercial invoice so customs can reach you to clear your order.
  • Please do not refuse a shipment or ignore requests from carriers regarding duty and/or tax liability charges. Be aware that most carriers will hold a shipment for 5 days after arrival in your country before they return it to the sender.

We do not refund original shipping charges for goods that are refused for delivery at customs.

The Riggs Shield can save your life. 

You have a non-lethal option to protect yourself. One that can be an equalizer or strength multiplier. Protect yourself from carjackings, home invasions, and domestic abuse without the fear that children could find this and harm themselves or others.

The Riggs Shield is compact and portable enough to keep in your home, office, car, camper, motorcycle or backpack. Originally designed for law enforcement by law enforcement, this modified version is now available to civilians.

The civilian self-defense shield is a non-lethal NIJ Shot Level IIIa and Stab Level III ballistic shield that can absorb up to .44 Magnum 240 grain pistol rounds. Use it to block punches, clubs, and stabs. It will defend against a stun gun or Taser because it doesn't conduct electricity. This shield is the same patented Riggs Shield designed for law enforcement without the door mount which was designed to fit patrol cars.

In the photo above, we shot the shield 20 times - 5 times each with .44 Mag, .45 auto, 9mm and .38 spec. All three photos shown above are of the same shield sandwiched together. Note the side view to see how the rounds were captured in the shield to avoid ricocheting off at by-standers. The right photo shows there was no penetration toward the side of the user.

If you block a punch from a suspect with this shield, they may injure themselves while you feel very little impact from the force of the hit. And if you choose to carry a weapon, this non-lethal civilian self-defense shield is designed to block with your left arm and leave your right arm free to protect yourself. 

The handle has a Picatinny equipment rail to attach a flashlight (light is not included). There is an optional D-ring to hook to a sling or belt, or hang onto a hook for storage. Unlike body armor that has a limited shelf life and should be replaced after 5 years, this shield is made from safe room composite materials that stand up to hurricanes and terrorist attacks and has no 5-year end of life concern like other shields.

Includes a free written online training program developed by former law enforcement who is also a martial arts trainer.
