Last month, VirTra Systems announced the hiring of Jason Mulcahy as the Company’s liaison to the government and military community. Prior to joining VTSI, Mr. Mulcahy was Director of Sales for Reality Engineering, a visual interactivity technology company where he designed and implemented a sales model that led the small start-up from a distribution sales model to a direct sales force with 20 regional territories.
The trickle down affect of firearms registration growth is already falling into the hands of VirTra. Couple that with the ease of training personnel compared to on-site simulations and the costs involved and you can see the top and bottom line growth estimations for VTSI begin multiplying. Law abiding citizens are registering for firearms training courses more and more frequently and simulation devices like the 300 LE Simulator will see demand grow.

Bottom Line: VTSI is one of those unfortunate penny stocks that simply has too many shares in the float to be able to offer new shareholders a chance for an increase in share price. VirTra is a good company with strong margins and a niche market. If they could just become regular filers with the SEC, get off the pinksheets and reorganize their share structure, VTSI could be a $1 stock.
