The more you know.

April is Autism Awareness Month: We encourage applicants for a Virginia driver’s license or identification cards to apply at a local DMV to have a medical indicator placed on the license or ID card showing Intellectual Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder. This is a quick way for public safety members to know your medical indicator if you are unable to tell them. Parents may request an ID card for their children.
Medical Indicators on ID Cards
One or more medical indicator codes may be placed on your driver's license or ID card for law enforcement personnel.
• Insulin-dependent diabetes
• Speech impairment
• Intellectual disability (IntD will display)
• Autism spectrum disorder (ASD will display)
• Blind or vision impaired

GEAR REVIEW: G-Code Incog IWB (G19) and horizontal single mag holder. This is not my first G-Code holster. I’ve worn this particular holster and magazine pouch daily for about 2 months and put it to the test on a recent several mile hike in the Shenandoah Mountains. Initially I was concerned about discomfort (not a priority issue for me). But I barely had to give it any though throughout the hike. Once you find that sweet spot on you belt/hip you’re good to go. I can tell this would be solid for those who carry appendix. G-Code holsters are solid and this particular line has suede out material which is a nice touch. Don’t forget to loctite your screws once you know how you want the clips positioned. 9/10 ***kusa

Show me one basic constitutional right that gets treated like a bastard step child like the . We’ve been denied credit cards from banks like Wells Fargo, advertising accounts closed from companies like Yelp, merchant accounts threatened to be closed by companies like PayPal, etc. Not because we are doing anything remotely illegal. Only because of a narrative. A completely fake narrative.

Typical .45 carrier. “Bruh… you think this steel watch can withstand the nuclear armament that is my .45 Auto??”

Every time

If your name isn’t on this wall you’re missing out. Our reviews speak for themselves.

17 rounds out of 60 on a full-size B-27 target is ridiculous.

If you dont take the responsibility to go train and practice, you will lose your credentials. Fi****ms skills are diminishing skills. If you do worse than you did when you did your initial qualification when the course of fire is the same, you should find another industry and stop lying to people by telling them you’re prepared to protect life.

Shifting gears.

Friends, after more than a decade, F3 Tactical will be shifting our retail storefront to online sales and contract work. F3 isn’t going away, we’re just making changes to our business model to fit the current, economic environment. The storefront will close on Friday, August 26th and our web site ( www.f3tac.com ) will remain up and running. The web site is a lot of work-in-progress, so we ask for your patience with that 😊

Our F3 Social media presence will continue, as we will use it to benefit the online sales piece of our future. We will also continue to host and inform our friends in this community about local training events since there are so many good opportunities in this area. Our dog rescue mission will remain intact, and we look forward to sharing our future foster pups with all of you here. You are a big part of that rescue mission, and we are honored to continue that work with all of you by our side.

For Chief and I, and the rest of our family, these last ten years have been some of the best of our lives. We’ve been blessed with the most wonderful customers and industry partners anyone could ever ask for, and with so many of you becoming our dearest of friends. Of course, there was the immense joy we had of sharing Bolt with all of you for nine of those years. That was a very special part of our time with you, and we will cherish those memories forever.

God bless you folks, it has been quite an adventure here at the shop, and we are so grateful to all who have shared it with us. We hope to maintain a service to you in the online realm and we will definitely see you out on the range!

Please show some respect to the company owners out there providing jobs and who take on the responsibility of hiring people and making sure people get paid so they can take care of their families. They did what I did - they risked their financial well-being to start a business and dumped everything they had into this business they created knowing full well they likely wouldn’t make a dime for a long time but while they’re going through all of that, they had to make sure their people were taken care of while not being paid themselves.

As for the owners, especially in this industry, you know we’ve had to deal with some serious performance and professionalism issues with personnel. Don’t get distracted from investing in the ones who are kicking ass for you and representing your brand so well.

New glow in the dark patches? YUP!
