t-payne Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I just can't stand the word "Tactical"! You put that one little word on a product and up the price. The bad thing is that all the couch commandos will still buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighVelocity Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I don't care if it's tactical. I want stuff that's Tacticool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben b. Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I like the term "Blacktical" a lot in referring to ugly, flat black colors. But my favorite is Tom Bowers' A.T.A.S., which is what he named his .45 silencer. Stands for All Tactical And Shit. <---The best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwoods Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I also don't like Tactical, but I do have an STI Tactical 5" and 4.15" and they are awesome. I have some 5.11 Tactical pants, and they are not that comfortable. I will not wear my 5.11 Tactical pants to a USPSA match. They should be banned! from matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Man Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Coyote brown is so 2005Dark earth is all the rage !! I hear Dark Earth is the New Pink. I've always dislike the tactical marketing ploy. Lately the firearms industry has gone bonkers with pink guns and now the two marketing ideas have cross-bred to bring us: Pink the new Tacticool color... http://www.shootingwire.com/shooting_wire_...eleaseID=136064 Edited September 22, 2008 by Middle Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Redwoods, are you even allowed to have anything "tactical" in Vail? Last I checked it was as "left coast" as "Teluweird" or "Boulder" and had an A.W.B. just like Denver. KurtM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be banned! from matches I have several 5.11 Tactical pants. I like them. I liked it better when they were Royal Robbins 5.11 Half Dome pants but I don't think changing the name hurts 'em any. I just want everyone to understand I want to be cool like the mountain climber guys, not like the FBI, HRT, SWAT, DEA, TSA, Homeland or Special Security guys.

mdstihl Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I think we can blame a lot of the gunwriters for the whole "tactical" thing. I have no idea how many of them have actually been there and done that, but they sure do talk a lot. Some of my older buddies were in vietnam, and both grandfathers were in WWII and Korea. Getting any gunfight stories out of them is/was pretty difficult. They just talked about good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
