exposes the police to liability. Technological: Manufacturing a gun to meet the microstamping specification is extremely difficult largely due to the requirement of two or more imprints needing to be transferred from the interior of the pistol to the casing. As a result, no production firearm has been able to meet this requirement. Manufacturer The proprietary technology was invented and patented by Todd Lizotte and is presently owned by a company he founded called TACLABS, Inc. They are the only company from which this technology can be purchased.
