    "Tactical..."

    I see holsters, grips, stocks, barrels, wallets, flashlights, knives, toothpicks, pens, jackets, belts, hats, sunglasses... etc... labeled as "tactical."

    What does "Tactical" really mean?

    Black nylon/plastic/polymer? What?

    Smells stinky to me...

    tactical adj.: of, or relating to military operations that are smaller or more local than strategic ones.

    I'll take my dumbass points off the air.

      It means it comes in black, FDE or coyote and everyone will buy it, only half will know what it's for and use it properly.
      A gun, like any other source of power, is a force for either good or evil, being neither in itself, but dependent upon those who possess it.

        A lot more expensive for very little extra (of practical use)

          I wonder on occasion how great of a nation we'd be if people spent their extra money on range time instead of holo-sights and foregrips.
          The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be.
          The more subsidies you have, the less self reliant people will be.

          The 1911 may have been in wars for 100 years, but Masetro Bartolomeo Beretta was arming the world 400 years before John Browning was ever a wet dream.

            The term has become akin to other terms such as "Heavy Duty" "Billet" and so on. It is being exploited by the "Marketing Teams" to lure unsuspecting customers to purchase those products.

            Just because something says "Tactical" doesn't mean it's the bad axx thing it's supposed to be. I mean how "Tactical" could a frickin baseball hat be?

            The best purchase you can make is to get what works best for you in your situation.

              These days, Tactical is nothing more than an advertising ploy, not much different than Match Grade, National Match or Mil-Spec.

                      Ask the guy that posted his "Tactical" gear wanting to get hard armor plates!

                          Tactical is just a noob/advertisement ploy now..

                          Noobs use it for everything to sound cool.. Companies use it on everything to make it look cool.. Doesn't mean much anymore to me.. I just read over it now.

                              Some of us can afford both range time and the accessories.
