I think I found my new favourite tactical store! I discovered 416 Tactical Supply last week at TACCOM. As I wrote in my review, I really liked the look and feel of 416 Tactical Supply’s booth with the Ghillie suit and camo netting, not to mention the great gear.
Spyderco, Cold Steel, and SOG knives
Hmmm weapon light cleaner…I should get some of that.
As I mentioned, a store visit was in order and it took me just a week to get there lol.
I love the loft style industrial building. The look and feel continues on the inside.
416 Tactical Supply carries brands that are harder to find, like Vertx, Faraday Defense, Broco, Lorica, Safe Life Defense, Klarus, as well as more mainstream brands like 5.11 and First Tactical. I even found some Ares belts and a Revision Sawfly in the store!
I didn’t bring my DSLR camera to do a full review but as usual, I had to snap a few phone pics.
I have a Vertx SOCP bag in black and now they have introduced a limited edition camo version! I will have to come back to see if my Premier Body Armor plate insert fits in the new version.
Broco makes great door breaching equipment. I have the little Jimmy and it is quite handy for your go bag. Those massive bolt cutters feature non-conducive fiberglass arms.
Their 36lbs. Enforcer Door Ram is pretty badass
Once again, beautiful store, great selection and great people!
And now for a quick review of what I got. First up, a Vertx hat, shown with my SOCP bag
Next, another Faraday Defense RFID blocking key sleeve
Yes, I did get the weapon light cleaner lol
Last but certainly not least, these absolutely incredible Asset tactical jeans from 221B!
I love the stretchy material and combined with the gusset crotch, you can do Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks in these
Like most tactical jeans, it has a lot of pockets, and I mean a lot at 13. The usual “watch pocket” is replaced with a deep pocket where you can clip knives or a Neomag
Hidden pockets inside
moving to the rear
AR mag slash pockets
And perhaps my favourite feature, which I haven’t seen on any other tactical jeans, is a Velcro panel for mounting an outer competition-style belt (or other dual belt setup) in scenarios where you don’t have enough time to put on the inner belt. What a genius idea!
I love it!
Really glad I went to visit 416 Tactical Supply’s store and I highly recommend you do too!
