Hardigg’s Storm Case Line Aces NTOA Product Field Test
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 1, 2005
The National Tactical Officers Association gives Hardigg Storm Cases excellent reviews.
SOUTH DEERFIELD, Mass. – If the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) gives high praise to a product after rigorous field-testing, then there’s no doubt the product is worthy of protecting expensive and sensitive weapons/equipment.
Hardigg Cases is delighted over the praise because the NTOA currently has 35,000 members (comprised of experienced tactical commanders from throughout the United States) who look to them for recommended products.
NTOA is the leading non-profit association dedicated to the advancement of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) profession throughout the world and recently has expanded its capabilities to share tactics and data with the Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT). NTOA’s Member Tested Program is designed to provide law enforcement product manufacturers a process by which to have their products field-tested by the law enforcement community, who in turn recommend the product to their peers upon successful testing.
A wide spectrum of Hardigg’s Storm Cases have been awarded the NTOA Member Tested and Recommended logo. To receive such status, a law enforcement product must be submitted to two active NTOA member field-testers for rigorous testing – and earn ratings of 3.0 or higher. All of Hardigg’s Storm Cases averaged a 4.8 out of a possible 5.0 – including several perfect scores of 5.0.
NTOA field-testing consists of 13 possible categories: design, performance, ease of use, size, quality, storage, versatility, convenience, application for law enforcement, comfort, cleaning/maintenance and accuracy. These are Hardigg’s Storm Case results:

Field Testers’ Testimonials
Many of the field-testers who received Storm Cases offered additional praise and recommendations:
• “The iM2300 Storm Case by Hardigg is a perfect case for your fragile, high-end gear. The case’s construction is flawless, which provides an airtight and waterproof seal when closed,” says an officer from Illinois. “I definitely recommend this case for its design, ease of use and level of protection that it provides.”
• “The ease of use with the locking mechanism was a welcome sight from some of the other cases I have busted my knuckles on in an attempt to close. I put the (iM2500) case through a waterproof test by submerging it for two hours, resulting in no signs of any leakage. The roller wheels and collapsible cart handle make easier transport though longer distances or when carrying heavier loads,” says an officer from Ohio. “This (case) would make a fine addition to any unit needing this type of carrying case.”
• “This case is built to endure the tough requirements of SWAT and is able to withstand daily wear and tear without a problem. This case is an ideal addition to the team or operator who wants to protect valuable equipment without any worries. I would recommend this product very highly,” says an officer from Florida making reference to the iM2750 Storm Case.
• “I consider the Hardigg iM3100 Storm Case to be one of the best weapons cases that my department has ever used and I would not hesitate to recommend it to any police or military organization seeking high-quality weapons cases,” says an officer from Pennsylvania.
• “I consider the iM3300 to be the best weapons case I have ever used and I will be personally purchasing Storm Case products in the future,” says one Alberta, Canada, police officer. “Spending my own money on a product is the highest compliment I can provide.
