San Tan Tactical, a Texas-based manufacturer known for high-quality AR-15s and other firearms, has launched a Defender Program that provides increased support for the professional community by offering deeper discounts and priority warranty and replacement access to the company’s products. The enhanced service and special pricing are in recognition of the sacrifices of the men and women who protect and serve our country—whether an active-duty service member, veteran, first responder or licensed security contractor.

“Our company is founded on the dedication to manufacturing the very best firearms and parts money can buy; producing the finest possible products and trusted quality care for our customers, at the highest level,” said San Tan Vice President of Special Projects Chris Reeves. “Our commitment to our nation’s law enforcement, first responders and military, prioritizes the needs of professionals who require ultimate dependability in their gear. We are honored to extend the new Defender Program and the opportunity to support individuals’ needs, both on and off duty.”

Available to both individuals and agencies/departments, the application process begins by emailing: [email protected]. An applicants’ verification process will then begin that grants access to creating an account where the exclusive pricing structure can be viewed. 

Additional benefits of the Defender Program include:

  • Purchase programs designed specifically for individuals and specific pricing for agency/department purchases 
  • Critical Incident/Duty Weapon & Suppressor Replacement—If an officer is involved in a line of duty incident where a rifle and/or suppressor from San Tan Tactical is taken into evidence, San Tan Tactical will provide a temporary replacement rifle and/or suppressor for the duration of the time the original equipment remains in evidence
  • Exclusive communications for members, including early product announcements 
  • Priority customer service
  • Warranty & Replacement Policy that ensures that any covered items used by Defender members (rifles, suppressors or parts) that are damaged or destroyed in the line of duty will be repaired or replaced, without hassle or excessive paperwork.

San Tan Tactical is a family-owned and -operated business based in Fort Worth, Texas.
