Thursday, June 15th, 2017O P Tactical Inc. (OPT) Establishes Brick and Mortar Store in Raleigh, NC
Thursday, June 15th, 2017As of May 8th, 2017 OPT has moved into a brick and mortar store and has established walk in sales hours (M-F 9:00 am – 3:00 pm). The new location is 2533-103 Atlantic Avenue, in Raleigh, NC. For people that know the area, that is the corner of Six Forks Road and Atlantic Avenue, between the DMV office and Phy’deaux. Store front signage is pending.
“This move has been long overdue and facilitates the direction that OPT has been headed in for the last few years. We sell very high end products to Armed Professionals, and want to present those items in as professional of an atmosphere as possible to both the end user, and casual browser.” Stated the owner, MSG Jon Sercan (USA, RET), when commenting on the move. Jon retired from the Army in 2016 and now works in the store; prior he had run it in absentia since 2004.
The new location is developing from an ecommerce model into a full blown retail outlet. Other plans are in the mix as well, but nothing is being announced at this time. Jon simply stated “OPT will build inventory, test gear, and improve our fighting position daily.”
OPT has carved a niche for itself within the gear industry, representing high end brands such as Mayflower- Velocity, Crye Precision, Spiritus Systems, Salomon, Arc’Teryx, Hesco, Blue Force Gear, HSGI, PIG, Magpul, Hodge Defense, Aimpoint, Tactical Tailor, and hundreds more. Many brands they represent are also (or were) start-ups within the industry that needed a better platform for sales and marketing, so OPT approached them and helped them build their business over the years. OPT also has a number of original designs and collaborations with industry partners, including a proprietary MBAV armor carrier, an enhanced Berry compliant poncho liner made by Wild Things, and the OPT version of the Mayflower-Velocity LWPC.
About O P Tactical Inc.: OPT has one mission, provide the best gear and customer service. OPT is a 100% disabled Veteran owned small business. Established in 2003, OPT has grown to a 6200 square foot, brick and mortar store, with a large ecommerce following.

Gearing up with HSGI OWB holsters from High Speed Gear on Vimeo.
Here at HSGI®, we strive to provide all the gear you need when configuring your kit to patrol your beat, for missions outside the wire or just shooting at the range or everyday carry. With that in mind, we recently redesigned a product that was originally only a novelty and turned it into a practical addition to your bag, belt or pocket. The iTACO® Phone/Tech Pouch V2 comes in two sizes, which very by approximately .25” in width and height, and can even fit larger phone with heavy-duty cases. This pouch features two pockets on either side for your cash, ID, cards and other small essentials. Constructed with double-layered, proprietary 1000D Cordura® laminate, the iTACO® V2 is also moisture/mildew resistant. Unlike its predecessor, the V2 is available in both PALS- and belt-mountable versions.
Today we also released a family of hook-backed utility pouches that are perfect for quick and adjustable storage, whether you adhere it to the inside of our Range Day Pistol Case, our Range/Go Bag or any other platform with loop Velcro®. These Mesh Utility Pouches are constructed with 500D Cordura® and feature interior and exterior mesh pockets. These pouches are available in three sizes and will eventually be available for PALS configurations.
We also plan to launch a sliding, tactical sling in early August. This sling offers the maneuverability of a one-point sling while attaching like a three-point sling. The length of the sling was designed with full-length rifles and shotguns in mind, but can be adjusted up or down for a variety of firearms. You can see this sling in action in the video above.
HSGI® is always creating and innovating, so keep an eye on us for more great gear throughout the year.
3 Farben Flecktarn and SloCam are New Camouflage-Pattern Options for UF PRO’s Striker Gen.2 BDUs
Thursday, June 15th, 2017JUNE 15, 2017 – Cutting-edge maker of tactical clothing UF PRO today announced that it is now offering its popular Striker Gen.2 BDU combat shirts and pants in two additional high-performance, widely acclaimed camouflage patterns – 3 Farben Flecktarn and SloCam.
Tactical operators have long been impressed with the capacity of 3 Farben Flecktarn and SloCam to blur human body contours in temperate-zone woodlands as well as in urban areas brimming with cultivated foliage, but disappointed that neither camouflage pattern was an option for the Striker Gen.2 BDU line, UF PRO said.
According to UF PRO, both 3 Farben Flecktarn is exclusively available at the company’s online store and through UF PRO’s distributor in Germany, TACWRK. SloCam, however, is sold only at the UF PRO online store, the company said.
3 Farben Flecktarn In Use Around the World
“Flecktarn” comes from a mash-up of the German words for “spotted” (fleck) and camouflage (tarnung), UF PRO explained.
Flecktarn is the regulation camouflage pattern worn in all branches of the German military, UF PRO said.
The 3-Farben Flecktarn is the desert version of the 5-Farben Flecktarn used by the Bundeswehr in arid and semi arid regions. The camouflage pattern consists of three colours that replicate those found in arid regions, UF PRO elaborated, adding that the specific colours employed in 3 Farben Flecktarn are green, brown, and black.
SloCam Wearers Difficult to See in Woodlands
SloCam is a camouflage pattern likewise engineered for use in forests and in urban areas where shrubs abound, UF PRO said.
SloCam was designed originally for use by the Slovenian army in response to its changing strategic role as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, according to UF PRO. The idea was to provide for Slovenia’s troops a camouflage pattern that would permit greater uniformity and cohesion with forces from other NATO nations during joint operations, the company clarified.
More so, the Slovenian army needed camouflage pattern colours that would make detection of the wearer at a distance particularly difficult in heavily vegetated environments. SloCam succeeds in that objective with its light and dark olive greens and five shades of brown-green, the company said.
SloCam has earned accolades from tactical operators outside of Slovenia. For example, a German police special-forces unit selected SloCam as the top-choice pattern for sniper suits, UF Pro recounted.
UF PRO offers the Striker HT Combat Pants and the Striker XT Gen.2 Combat Shirt in 3-Farben Flecktarn. SloCam is available in the Striker XT Gen.2 Combat Pants and Combat Shirt.
