with RJK Ventures LLC Armory Racks®

Background: A prominent firearm retailer faced challenges with organizing their extensive handgun inventory. Prior to implementing a solution, the store’s display drawers were overcrowded, leading to a lack of organization and inefficient use of space. Handguns were crowded together, making it difficult for customers to view the selection and for employees to manage inventory efficiently. The store sought a solution that would optimize space, improve presentation, and streamline operations.

Solution: Armory Racks® by RJK Ventures LLC The store adopted RJK Ventures LLC’s patented Armory Racks®, a high-density, space-saving solution for handgun storage and display. The unique modularity of Armory Racks® played a important role in the retailer's decision to adopt this solution. The modular 8/6/4/2 rack configuration enabled the store to customize their storage setup for shelves and drawers of varying widths and depths, making the best use of their available space. This flexibility, unique to Armory Racks®, ensured that every storage area could be optimized.

Their order included quantities of all four rack sizes offered, allowing Second Amendment Sports to accommodate an variety of handgun sizes and storage needs. Designed for versatility and efficiency, Armory Racks® provided the store with the following features:

  • Space-Saving Design: The racks optimized drawer and safe space, enabling more handguns to be displayed in the same area.
  • Capacity Flexibility: Each rack accommodated 2, 4, 6, or 8 handguns, supporting revolvers and semi-autos of calibers .22 and larger, from pocket pistols to full-sized handguns.
  • Ease of Use: Racks allowed in-place removal and replacement of pistols, ideal for tight storage areas.

Implementation: Before installing Armory Racks®, the store’s drawers were photographed. After the installation, the transformation was documented through a second set of photographs. The “before” pictures displayed drawers with handguns stacked in a manner that was visually unappealing and inefficient. In contrast, the “after” pictures showcased neatly arranged handguns, accessible and displayed prominently, thanks to Armory Racks® and their modular design.

The modularity allowed us to configure the racks to fit every storage area perfectly. Not only do the racks save space, but they also create an aesthetic that impresses our customers. Inventory management has never been easier.”

Jon Sabia, Sales Team Lead, added “. . . [our] old display method allowed guns to fall over and bump into other guns causing cosmetic damage to brand-new high-end firearms. Your [Armory Racks] rack system has greatly reduced the chances of damage by providing a more stable platform and keeping the guns spaced out.
