Their tagline—"Tested in Training. Proven in Combat."—isn't marketing copy. They specialize in gear used by actual operators, not retailers trying to move inventory. Their product selection reflects this: deep stocks of modular systems from Crye, Spiritus, Ferro, and Velocity because these are the platforms professionals use.

They run frequent promotions on specific ecosystems. Recent focus areas included Ferro Concepts ecosystem builds, Mayflower chest rig configurations, and Crye Desert Tiger Stripe G3 uniforms. They limit quantities on hot items (3-unit limit on popular uniforms during drops) to prevent hoarding.

Optactical offers a government sales program. Contact them directly for volume pricing and mil/LE accounts.
