Jake and his team are THE REAL DEAL!! I knew they made their products in house but I had NO IDEA they were this far up on their game and competition!! Great products, great service and great people......the winning tri-fecta!!
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!
I really appreciate just how much money you put directly back into your company, to go from selling sub 100 dollar red dots (love mine no doubt) to now producing your own premium body armor
DUDE, YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE SUPPORT THAN WHAT YOU'RE GETTING IMHO...! YOU WILL GET MY SUPPORT ANY TIME I CAN AFFORD IT, WHICH HONESTLY AIN'T VERY OFTEN UNFORTUNATELY...
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.
I bought a falcon V2 lpvo from them and I'm impressed by it. I've since bought a few small things from them namely a plate carrier. Now i can get plates as well!
I really appreciate the detailed look at how Tacticon makes their plates and why spending more for quality is worth it. My order is in and thank you for a great American made product.
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!
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.
Just another man posting about his love for Tacticon Armament. I own multiple different items of theirs and look forward to adding to them in the future. Charlie Mike, Hooah!
Outstanding!!!!! This is why I will be making a purchase from you in the near future. I absolutely love everything about this company. Every. Single. Thing. (And some of your shorts, which I normally despise watching, have made me laugh like I haven't in so very long. And that, my friend, is worth more than gold to me right now.) Peace.
When Jake says absolute best product on the market, I believe it. And then Nolan takes another test shot to the armor plate for 97th time just to Prove it !!!
I dont have any tacticon plates yet but I got a couple plate carriers mag pouches and iron sights ifak ect but I definitely plan on getting some of these ceramic pe plates seen a lot of good videos and reviews on them great company and great products imo. I hope they start making balistic helmets that would be a game changer!!
Well how bout that.... No company goes into detail about there products manufacturing techniques.... Thats beyond cool. Thats beyond amazing... And I RESPECT that... Please continue to do so..
I've got a set of your steel plates but am now very interested in your ceramic plates especially after this video and Mrgunsngears test video of your level 4 plates. I also have one of your belts, bore sight and iron sites. Great products
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.
Dang, I remember my very first purchase from you guys. Was an affordable belt, but when i received it, I remember thinking it was pretty good quality and that at some point, y'all would hike up the prices. So I just kept on buying.
Thanks for the reply Jesse. We will always do our best to stick with our mission statement which is providing high quality affordable 2A equipment to every American citizen
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!
This comment right here... is EXACTLY why we made the video. I'm glad this informed you enough to make a decision my friend, and thank you for all the support.
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.
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.
Still waiting to hear back from yall,My club wants to purchase 1500 of the backpacks for local schools in Florida,We are trying to do this twice a year and our other chapters in different states want to do The same,We know it's a big order and lot to ask but,in today's world our children are at risk sadly, And I know you're products work 💯 Because my family uses them and even tested them,
Be more than happy to help you out my friend! Can you shoot an email to mani@tacticon.com? He's our sales guy and will 100% be able to fulfill that order for you!
Predator V4 will be back in stock within 60 days. We unfortunately run out of stock far quicker than we anticipated. They're in production right now, thanks for asking!
All bullshit aside. These guys are 100% legit. Great quality at the best price point. Say what you will but I'll put their gear up against the most expensive stuff out there. All day.
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.
basically speaking. If you dont live in Kentucky, Tennessee or anywhere south near the bible belt; you're probably good with lvl3 and even lvl4. But anywhere else in the south. It wouldnt really matter. You're kinda SOL if you do engage any combatants in the south. Most are sharpshooters and know a thing or two on how to make weapons. And most have access to military equipment or the state government does not enforce/regulate the proliferation of restricted equipment or otherwise would be illegal in liberal/progressive states that think 5.56/AK rounds are WMD's if possessed by their denizens, you're fighting an uphill battle. Not only that. Much of Appalachia and great plains have no reception/service and cannot be accessed by a car. For serious insurgency or attempt to occupy another state/governing body, you got to put boots on the ground. And Im certain those fashionable platform boots, high-heels, jesus sandals, crocs, and skateshoes that Ive seen the left like to wear aint gonna cut it. And wager to guess they are 100% gonna rock steel or lvl3A kevlar. I mean. They're not that smart, not that prepared. And not that capable. Fair game. But if anyone got any ideas going up against some redneck good-ol boys. Yea you're gonna be in for a rude awakening and be 1st place for the darwin award. Just some food for thought.
Woah, I guess this puts you miles ahead of, uh, um, SafeLife or something, but like, I'd be surprised if what you're doing here is anything that TenCate was too stupid to come up with.
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...
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

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.

Makes me happy brother. THanks for all the support!
From what I have seen so far over the past few months I really believe in the company. I hope one day they have fitted plates
I wanted to start a company with my friends and make armor, but after seeing this.. I just wish I was on his team. Excellent video.
My thoughts exactly.
I sure as hell hope it’s the best on the market because I’ve bought two sets of them.
Everything I’ve bought from you is excellent so I’m not worried
🤣 good to know, thanks Greg
Thanks to all you guys, myself and my fellow officers have affordable and comprehensive threat protection while on duty.
Keep up the good work!
The passion and dedication this man has is unreal. I wish more in the community were like Tacticon.
I really appreciate just how much money you put directly back into your company, to go from selling sub 100 dollar red dots (love mine no doubt) to now producing your own premium body armor
And we appreciate you! We try and put as much as we can back in so we can truly support you guys and your 2A rights!
DUDE, YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE SUPPORT THAN WHAT YOU'RE GETTING IMHO...! YOU WILL GET MY SUPPORT ANY TIME I CAN AFFORD IT, WHICH HONESTLY AIN'T VERY OFTEN UNFORTUNATELY...
Thank you for the kind words brother!
I have so much respect for this company. The amount of sound and extremely competent engineering is remarkable. I will only buy from Tacticon.
I like that you put your face on the brand, Jake. Go git em big fella..
Fully transparency brother! We want to start inviting ya'll into our process!

Trying our best brother!

You do a great job in the delivery of your info. Informative and good humor at the same time. Thanks for the great videos!

Best to you and yours as well friend. Thank you for the kind words!
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
Hands down the GOAT. Love what you do and who you are ❤💪💪

Thank you brother!
Nice products bought some lvl 3+ steel plates IFAK version 2 and mag holders all high quality. Thank for the amazing products
Thank you for your support brother
Thank you Jake for sharing ❤
My pleasure!!
1:51 this cracked me up, I love this guy! Definitely buying from this company
Seems very tempting, I must say I loved the presentation!
Tempt you so hard
One of the best tactical gear companies on the planet!
Outstanding!!!!!

(And some of your shorts, which I normally despise watching, have made me laugh like I haven't in so very long. And that, my friend, is worth more than gold to me right now.)
Peace.
I will support your guys' products till the day I die. You guys are awesome! Thanks for making grade A gear at a reasonable price. Awesome company!
Brings a smile to my face and almost a tear to my eye 😂 appreciate the support
Really flexing the vertical integration lol. Love the use of the waterjet to cut the plates
Very impressive....Definitely on my wish list of future purchases...
When Jake says absolute best product on the market, I believe it. And then Nolan takes another test shot to the armor plate for 97th time just to Prove it !!!

I'm sold..Really..You should have your website flash on screen..At least twice..Great video guys.
Great Video and Awesome products IMO!!!
Thanks my friend
I dont have any tacticon plates yet but I got a couple plate carriers mag pouches and iron sights ifak ect but I definitely plan on getting some of these ceramic pe plates seen a lot of good videos and reviews on them great company and great products imo. I hope they start making balistic helmets that would be a game changer!!
Anywhere I run tacticon on kit I refuse to replace with anything else unless its another piece of tacticon gear. Great gear.
You sir are a true hero
Well how bout that.... No company goes into detail about there products manufacturing techniques.... Thats beyond cool. Thats beyond amazing... And I RESPECT that... Please continue to do so..

Get some! Thanks for sendin' the love Heath!
I got 2 sets of 11x14 shooters cut and sapi when u guys Gona do another 60% off again or at least 50%
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.
I probably should believe you, it’s what I rock in my Tacticon plate carrier.
That's what I'm talking about
Great video. I just ordered 6 set level lll+ from your company ❤
Dang, I remember my very first purchase from you guys. Was an affordable belt, but when i received it, I remember thinking it was pretty good quality and that at some point, y'all would hike up the prices. So I just kept on buying.

Thank you!
I respect you, body armor man!
Thank you god bless
Great video! Great products! High quality! Big fan or your gear! 🤙🏼
Much appreciated!
Damn bro I'm sold as soon as I get a chance
Try stainless .169 in thick with kevlar around it at .5 total 1.169 inch that might work solid SS

I’m a Tacticon Armament fan boi! Lol, all my gear so far is T/A on my rifle and plate carrier, pouches
3:40 even seal team deisl is safe 😅
Reality Check. But what about "weapon resistance" test. I have one of the Tacticon backpacks BTW. Thanks.
Buying armor from here!
hope you enjoy!
I have to acticon everything except a carrier and plates.. they are next on my check list
you've got good taste
Hmmm. Very transparent. Cool video. Subbed... I now plan on getting some of your products and showcase em on my channel. 😊
Please do!
I see that you guys now use a nylon covering on your plates. Any particular reason for the switch?
Well I know who I’m buying me next set of armor from now on
I'm definitely getting some level IV plates from tacticon,
