Firearm-integrated defense platform

Become one with your firearm

Originally developed to partner with a handgun, the NovaSteel Buckler can now become one with your firearm. The Gun Shield Attachment transforms the buckler from a standalone defensive tool into a firearm-integrated defense platform, marrying firepower and protection in one compact system. With this attachment, your buckler and weapon function as a single unit.  It is a modern gun shield. 

Attaching the NovaSteel Buckler to your firearm is quick and intuitive, requiring no special tools or permanent modifications. The Gun Shield Attachment locks onto the buckler and mounts to any standard Picatinny rail, providing rock-solid attachment to virtually any firearm – from handguns to carbines – equipped with a rail system. This universal compatibility means you can pair the buckler with your home-defense pistol or a patrol carbine with equal ease. The shield won’t upset your weapon’s handling and may even improve barrel stability and mitigate recoil. Whether you’re mounting it on a compact sidearm or a larger platform, the attachment keeps your sight picture clear and your firearm fully functional, so you can operate the trigger, slide, and controls without interference.

Ideal for home defense

The Gun Shield Attachment is particularly ideal for home defense, when armor isn’t always available or would take too much time to don.  With the Gun Shield Attachment, you can fix the Buckler to your nightstand gun and waste zero seconds in responding.

In fast-moving encounters or tight quarters, having a firearm and shield combined can make all the diff

BALLISTIC SHIELD
The NovaSteel Buckler

The NovaSteel Buckler

The NovaSteel Buckler is a lightweight ballistic shield that offers rapidly deployable protection for the vulnerable parts of the face, neck, upper torso, and arms.  As such, it quite literally fills the gap left by contemporary body armor and helmet systems.

Easy to stow, carry, and use — and compatible with a wide variety of lights and other accessories — the NovaSteel Buckler provides a reliable defense from handgun, edged weapon, blunt impact weapon, and animal attacks, and can double as an extremely effective compliance weapon.  It is especially well-suited for use in home defense scenarios.

Can be conveniently kept in your car, at arm’s reach, thanks to the Buckler’s low-profile design, its flat handle, and its heat resistance.

Ideal backpack armor.  With a 12.2″ diameter, it’s larger than most IIIA-rated sets of backpack armor, and simultaneously much more functional.

Revival of the Ancient Form

The buckler is not a new concept.  It is so old that its origins are lost to history.  Bucklers are plainly visible in carvings from Sumeria, Ur, and Babylon.  Greek Peltasts were named after their shields, peltae, which in many cases resembled bucklers.  Roman gladiators called Hoplomachi were equipped with bucklers, which they frequently used as offensive weapons.  And bucklers have seen extensive use from the fall of Rome through the early modern era, a thorough review of which is freely available online.

As the age of gunpowder and duelists developed, some would say devolved, into an age of industrialized warfare, bucklers gradually fell out of favor and eventually disappeared entirely.  Modern ballistic shields owe nothing of their form or function to it. This is an oversight that must be corrected, for the form of the buckler makes it a uniquely useful and versatile implement today — especially when it is made of an advanced ballistic steel alloy.

Uniquely Versatile

Though relatively small at 12.2″ in diameter, the buckler is designed to be held away from the body, and as such it can protect a significantly larger area than its size conveys.   Held properly, at arm’s length, it offers a much larger area of protection than most armor plates or vests, and can protect areas that are typically unarmored, like the neck and face.

The NovaSteel Buckler is light enough to benefit from its user’s autonomic startle-flinch response — and, with some training, can reliably be properly positioned to protect its wearer from harm.

And as the bucklers of olden times were designed to be used alongside the sword, so the NovaSteel Buckler is designed to be used alongside a handgun.  Supported on the buckler’s flat shoulder, handguns are stabilized, and the user’s most vulnerable parts are covered and protected.

Furthermore, the NovaSteel Buckler can be used as an offensive weapon in its own right, and particularly excels as a non-lethal compliance weapon.  It was designed with this use in mind.  

The NovaSteel Buckler is an effective, durable, versatile, and inexpensive ballistic shield.
