ARID Manufacturing Awarded Contract by Seminole County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Rifle Program
ARID Manufacturing is proud to announce that our A.R.S. Mod 1 Sling has been selected for use in the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office patrol rifle program. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to performance-driven equipment that stands up to real-world law enforcement demands.
The selection process was focused on one thing: what works in the field. Our padded sling stood out for its balance of comfort, reliability, and functional design. Long shifts, vehicle-based operations, and rapid deployment scenarios demand gear that doesn’t create snag hazards or fatigue. The padded configuration delivers consistent load distribution, reducing strain without sacrificing mobility.
What ultimately set the sling apart is its self stowing capability. For patrol officers and SWAT teams, managing excess sling material is not just about convenience. It is about safety. Loose webbing can snag on gear, vehicle interiors, or environmental obstacles at the worst possible moment. The ARID Retention System secures the sling into a streamlined profile to minimize those risks, while still allowing it to deploy on demand in a fraction of a second when the officer needs to transition to a worn configuration.
This feature becomes especially valuable during vehicle exits, and confined-space operations where every movement matters. Officers can act quickly without needing to manage or adjust their sling under pressure.
Durability was another key factor. Built with American-made materials and designed for hard use, the sling maintains its integrity across extended field conditions. From daily patrol to high-intensity SWAT operations, it performs without compromise.
This contract represents more than just a milestone for ARID Manufacturing. It is a validation of our design philosophy. We build gear with purpose, shaped by the needs of those who rely on it most.
We are honored to support the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and remain committed to equipping law enforcement professionals with tools that enhance performance, safety, and confidence in the field.
