I have the Hero 2020 with the Blunt Force cartridges. This was when Hero Defense Systems remembered states that have restrictions on possessing pepper / pava balls. Hero Defense Systems has forgotten these states and abandoned providing the Blunt Force cartridges. With this problem I, and a lot of people have abandoned carrying the Hero 2020, since the Blunt Force cartridges aren't available. I now carry a Byrna or Grimberg Pepperball launcher.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We've paused our BluntForce cartridge while we work on improvements to the product. Rest assured we have not forgotten our HERO 2020 customers in states where projectiles are prohibited. We are also working on some new and exciting HERO 2020 cartridge options for these states. Stay tuned, we'll be reaching out to all our customer with updates on these products as they become available.
Very helpful people. At 78 years old, very concerned about safety for myself and my wife. This helps!!!!!!

Appreciate your feedback, and we're so happy to hear you and your wife are being proactive about personal safety!
Very happy to finally have a holster. My only upgrade I'd like to see is the ability to swivel 90 degrees

You folks never answer phone calls or return calls. Furthermore, I purchased a Boltaron Holster (order #16081) on 10/20/25 $49.95. A week later this same holster is 15% less $42.46 I requested $7.49 difference be put back onto Visa card ending with 7452. Received zero response from support.
