Armet Tactical

Brian Carmichael, a 25-year Marine Corps veteran and expert marksman, founded Armet Tactical in November 2020 after pivoting from government contracting. The name comes from both a 15th-century combat helmet and the street where he decided to start his own business after retiring from active service. The mission is straightforward: legal, safe firearms at fair prices with solid customer service.
