Automatic Deployment Tools
Automatic OTF (Out the Front). I only have 1, hoping to get more soon. I do have a couple button deploy that are not OTF but folders, I will put those in this section.
Make sure it is legal to have this tool in your state. This is my first Auto and I love it. The action is smooth and the design is simple yet refined. I hope to collect many more.
