SKD Tactical

SKD Tactical started in 1999 as a custom shop making gear for Marines at Camp Lejeune. That operational focus never changed—they still design everything based on feedback from actual users: military personnel, law enforcement, and responsibly armed citizens.

Today they're the largest full-time employer in Swansboro, North Carolina, making 100% Made in the USA tactical gear that gets used downrange, in the field, and at the range.

"Our products are designed for the highest level of comfort, functionality, and versatility. Satisfaction is guaranteed for all of our customers, whether military, law enforcement or responsibly armed citizens."

Every product starts with a real problem. The TACO pouch exists because operators needed magazine storage that worked on any platform, didn't add bulk, and could be reconfigured in seconds. The Sure-Grip belt came from feedback on what actually works under load.

Price range runs from $13 (bungee kits) to $110 (padded belts), with most core pouches between $35–$65. They sell direct and through authorized distributors, with options for law enforcement, military, and corporate quotes.
