Ever wonder how so many in the firearm industry ended up dressing so similar? The story is probably not what you think. “Tactical pants” actually came from the greener side of the outdoor industry through the efforts of Dan Costa, a guy with no experience in the firearms world. However, Costa realized that the features needed in mountain climbing would be suitable to others who were hard on clothing, such as police and other tactical shooters. He purchased the mountaineering clothing company and started marketing their pants to shooters. Once the FBI started issuing these “tactical pants” to instructors and cadets at Quantico, their popularity quickly grew among the police and shooting world. This led other companies to develop tactical clothing, which only made them even more popular.
Read my full story, Revenge of the Clone Army, to learn why we in the shooting industry can't get enough of this "tactical clothing."
