    WHY WE MADE IT

    At RTS Tactical, we manufacture the LegionX to protect and empower the fearless men and women who put their lives on the line for our communities and our country. We know that in the most dangerous environments, the gear you use must be as resilient and reliable as you are. That’s why we engineer the LegionX with precision, using advanced ballistic composite materials sourced exclusively from trusted U.S.suppliers.

    From the early days of the Spartans and the Roman Legions, the shield has always had a place in combat. Although the landscape has changed, the effectiveness of the shield has not.

    That's why we created the Legion series, specifically for law enforcement professionals who require a lightweight, highly deployable Level III tactical assault shield that can adapt to various situations.

    The Legion series stands out with its unique features. Its precisely positioned viewport and cutouts are not just design elements but strategic enhancements that improve visibility, weapon deployment, and mobility, setting it apart from other shields in the market.

    The Legion Shield allows users to navigate confined spaces and structures when superior mobility and the need to wield the shield are critical. At RTS, we designed the Legion series to maximize the ability to see and defeat threats.

    "From the ordering process through delivery, RTS Tactical demonstrated professionalism and excellent customer service. The construction quality of the shields is outstanding, providing confidence that the equipment will perform as intended when needed most."

    "Our Special Response Team (SRT) purchased RTS LEGION Shields recently, and they are above and beyond what we expected. They are lightweight, with great ergonomics and features. Having the ability to see through the ballistic glass, coupled with the LED light and cut-outs for proper presentation with a pistol, means we don’t lose a gun, just to add a shield.
    We are looking forward to using these more and keeping them available in all our tactical vehicles."
