Thanks for the kind words my man! We are very serious about our production and the care we take in insuring that our Armor is the best.
I have so much Tacticon gear it’s crazy… plates, carriers, optics, belts, holsters, backpacks, med packs… Being from Nor*Cal is just a bonus! Everyone hates on Cali when it comes to 2A and you guys give the community identity! We appreciate what you all do!

Probably not for a VERY long time. We're going to be pricing competitively but no longer offering 60% off. If anything we'll run larger discounts on individual products but not sitewide anymore.
Many tacti bros look down at reasonably priced items, but after watching this video I am a fan of the way you do things. Great product, good price - I will happily buy from you guys.
Good morning Sir!! Great stuff as always! Not that anyone that follows you has any doubts on the quality of your stuff, but thanks for the walkthrough of your process! As always, thanks for the amazing products and service from you and your team! Take care, and my best to you and your family!

I hope they start making balistic helmets that would be a game changer!!
I'd trust this with my life. Good news is I can just look up my batch number and watch the tests for myself. Revolutionary. Thanks Jake and Tacticon
Really flexing the vertical integration lol. Love the use of the waterjet to cut the plates
I was hesitant to order plates from you guys I have a ton of your other products and they have all been great. But with the armor I was leaning more towards hesco or something proven. But after this video I have changed my mind and I think I will be ordering your plates very soon!

I'm sold..Really..You should have your website flash on screen..At least twice..Great video guys.
I got a set of your steel plates and hopefully get a set of your ceramic ones sometime. Great products. I use them daily weather it’s the iwb holster or plate carrier with plates or the 1-6 lpvo either way they are being used by me.

Sorry if your comment basically already answers this, but what's your opinion on Steel versus ceramics? I love ceramics until the end of the test when the ceramic is degraded after like six shots. It feels like it's your choice of having the best armor in the world until 6 rounds hits it, or have the best armor in the world but it's going to weigh heavy forever lol
Impressive. You have my respects

I’m bought SRT armor plates from you but mine measure 10x13 and the length was a tad too long for my torso. Any way you could make them a little shorter? 10x12? Other than that I love the super light weight and quality of the SRT plates.
One of the best tactical gear companies on the planet!
I'm definitely getting some level IV plates from tacticon, My question is unrelated to the plates though. Is Tacticon Armament planning on ever making their own NVGs and/or thermals? Just saying if Tacticon ever does I'd buy them.

Thanks Travis. Yes, thermals are being prototyped now and we're considering releasing some digital NVG's... they're nowhere near as effective as Gen 2 and Gen 3 green/white phosphorous... but if you have even digital NV, and the enemy doesn't, you win. Our goal for digital NVG's is to offer a bump helmet + the NV for about $600... don't hold me to it, but that's the goal.

When bro started talking about quality control, I half expected him to slap a carrier on and stand in front of a wall. I’m betting his lawyer had to stop him. This is how passionate about your product every manufacturer should be.

My interest is really only in the way various armour works, the history, materials and technology etc, and I'm sure you make great products. I don't even own any hard plates (Gun crime is pretty low where I live, and rifle or assault weapons are a tiny, tiny fraction of that). But switching to "Devils Advocate" mode because I'm a PITA 😉... Do you make your own UHMPE fabric from scratch, or the steel alloys? I suspect it's all bought in, so like everyone else, you rely on others to produce the finished product. A product is only as good as the lowest common denominator, it's foundations. If you have no direct control over that ingredient, you're not THAT different to the other companies. All you can do is test what you get, which is what all the other companies do anyway. They all stand or fall on the efficacy of their products. It's like the warranty on your car... it only guarantees they'll do something IF it goes wrong, not that it won't go wrong in the first place. Sorry, not a real rant, just applying my skewed version of logic. 🙂

No sir, we do not mine the ore to make our steel anymore than the contractor chopped down the tree that built your house. However, we test every lot of armor before it's sold even if it's already NIJ certified. I must say that your response: "you're not THAT different to other companies" is fallacious. Most armor companies don't make their armor from raw material to finished plate. That... is a fact my friend.

Instant credibility. Why do I say that? Because when you buy a product that benefits law enforcement and combat veterans - from a company owned and operated by combat veterans - you can trust the process. The video was great, but the backstory of what comprises the management/personnel at Tacticon sold me long ago. Now, for the benefit of us all, please keep running the business responsibly so it continues to thrive. Otherwise we'll all suffer. Thank you.

Who cares if you make your dies? Wow. I have a mill too. Are your dies making differently shaped plates than anyone else? The rest of the production process sounds solid. Potentially better than "the other guy" Making your own dies seems like an irrelevant flex. Also. I would hope to hell you trim the stuff you make....how is that a flex?
hey just a researcher, trying to forge, conjure and be the best. was just looking on how to make the best and thinnest body armor and all i got from your video was an halfway districted, 5 min long add, barley describing how you actually make the armor. thank you, kind sir, for your time but you have waisted mine...
