Why PIFFERS

Licensed arms under KOTE strong-room management — registers, sealed locks and 24/7 CCTV.

01Licensed arms

PIFFERS maintains a weapon gallery of licensed pistols, rifles, shotguns and related accessories. Weapons are treated as sensitive equipment: every strong room (KOTE) follows pasted SOPs, and in/out movements are recorded in the KOTE / weapon register.
