The Montana HP version of this bar was pretty neat with red and clear inserts in blue domes to the front.

That’s cool! I love custom jobs on bars like that. Thanks for watching!!

Made by a gun manufacturer, and a lightbar. Sounds like the ultimate American package if you ask me.

Yep, they’ve been around for a while. Quite a few departments used them, but they didn’t last long on the market.

We had one for the Oklahoma City University Security Department which had the white as take downs, blue domes and yellow flashers to the rear. On the Tuttle, Oklahoma and Newcastle, Oklahoma departments a joint traffic enforcement car had red and blue domes and red and blue flashers to the front on opposite domes, with yellow flashers again to the rear.

I like the R/B with opposite flashers... I bet that looked cool!

A gun manufacturer who makes a lightbar ? I think we can't do more American than that. xD

Smith & Wesson exited the emergency light market back in the early 90's Federal Signal bought the rights to the above bar and marketed it for a few years as the Federal "Economaster". S&W also made a pancake style magnetic light for under cover cars that Signal Stat/SVP bought the rights to.

Would you believe to this day in 2024 , I still know where there's a set of red and clear. On top of the fire truck looks like band new and work great. Deep in the mountains in north carolina... Sit in the firehouse bet it hadn't been out five times in the last ten years...

Great bar! I heard these things weren't reliable or bright.

I have a red one on display, it's plenty bright with way more juice than a stock alternator puts out.

Not sure about their reliability in-service, as that was well before my time- however they seem to be bright enough. Certainly as bright as any other rotator bar of that era, save the MX7000.

I was thinking of Yankees. I don’t know why I confused this bar for them. It was more of a specific type of Yankee. I know all Yankees aren’t that bad.

Chattanooga Police had these on a bunch of their cars

Do you have any beacons in your collection, or do you only Collect light bars?

Great question! I only collect full size lightbars... the beacons and mini bars don't really do it for me :)

Flashing takedowns is a huge advantage.

I don't have any Excalibur's.... however they are the exact same lightbar at the MX7000, the only difference being the lower section is only half the height of the MX. Other than that, the top section is identical.

I am very partial to blue lights, so I do like the blue light bars. But I also like the red and blue combo as well. Looks like a cool hobby. How do you get your hands on one of those these days?
