Thanks again and we look forward to hearing from you!

For many in the British Armed Forces the name 'Wyvern' is synomonous with quallity and forums and military kit-review websites are dotted with testaments to the reliability of this custom-made gear. Now rebranded as Vanguard, First Tactical can now offer some of the best British-made kit that you're ever likely to find.


The All-Arms Load Vest is one of Vanguard's best-selling products. A competant LBV designed for the modern British soldier. Fits over Osprey armour and is available in fully IRR treated woodland and desert DPM.


How hard is it to find a decent DPM IRR holster? Vanguard's 3-way PLCE drop-leg holster answers that question firmly. It can be worn on the thigh or waist and accomodates all mid-framed pistols.


The Trooper Chest Rig is a solid platform designed to work in conjunction with modern body armour systems. Three ammo pouches can hold 9 mags snugly and the two utility pouches make this a real winner.


Vanguard's Drop-leg Dump Pouch is a must have item, safely stowing used magazines inside a ruged pouch with a double-layered elastic flap to prevent spillage. Like all Vanguard products it's IRR treated and available in both woodland and desert DPM.

Make sure you check out the rest of our Vanguard range at www.firsttactical.com, including a host of pouches for grenades, flashbangs, radios, SAW ammo cases etc.

Have just been looking at your site and it is good to have more site based in the uk selling TAG gear but having looked at your prices for a number of items in particular

Split Front Chest Rig £289.99
Basic Medical Pack £249.98


compared with Drop zone supplies prices

Split Front Chest Rig £199.95
Basic Medical Pack £174.95

Was wondering how your prices are so much higher and if you are willing to do a price match

Hi there, thanks for the inquiry!

The main reason for those original prices is that we are a very new company and are not able to buy TAG equipment on as large a scale as Dropzone clearly do.

However, we have now re-evaluated our prices to make them more competative so take a look and see if there's anything you like. We are able to offer a Price Match service on certain items, if you're interested then drop us a line using the Contact page on our website.

First Tactical are pleased to announce that our delivery from American torch manufacturer, First Light USA, arrived earlier last week; and is was certainly worth the wait...



Above is the Liberator and it really is something else. A tactical flashlight designed to follow the movements of operator's hand, making it an intuitive, easy-to-use lighting tool that’s available at a moment’s notice.



And this is the Tomahawk LP, designed for use with sidearms and enabling unparallelled freedom of movement. It even comes with a CD telling you how to use it!


Designed with the millitary in mind, we're confident you won't find better tactical flashlights than these, and this is just two from the range! Check out First Tactical and see what takes your fancy. You can also watch some videos of these torches in action on the First Tactical Blog.

First Tactical are pleased to announce that we'll be stocking state-of-the-art ballistic eyewear from Revision, an official supplier to the US military.


The Sawfly is Revision's basic ballistic glasses and features on the offical US Army Authorized Protective Eyewear List.


Check these out, the pefect repacement for you old ESS Advancers (which we also stock), Revision's awesome Bullet Ant goggles. The kit includes carry case and three quick-change scratch and fog resistant lenses.


Want something a little cooler? Try the Hellfly, offering high-grade sunglass-style ballistic protection and looking good while doing it.

Check out http://www.firsttactical.com to see the full range of Revision glasses, and remember, all Revision Eyewear items are on sale until Friday 20th!

First Tactical are pleased to offer a full range of Tasmanian Tiger products. TT have long been established as a manufacturer of quallity and reliable kit, aimed squarely at private security and military personel.


Tasmanian Tiger's Operator Vest Base is one of the best we've seen. Fully compatible with all MOLLE/S.T.R.I.K.E./MTS/PALS gear and pouches (of which we have many...)


TT's Pathfinder bag is 85ltrs of pure design brilliance. The ultimate bag for medium-term operations that offers so much flexibility you may not ever buy another bag again.


The Tasmanian Tiger Drag Bag is probably the ultimate in rifle cases. Large, durable bag for weapons up to 121 cm (M16 / AK74 / M40 / AIAW). It features multipl MTS (MOLLE compatible) webbing for mounting additional pouches and has a hidden harness system on rear that allows the bag to be worn as a rucksack.


New for 2008 is the Chest Rig MKII, redesigned with the operator in mind the rig can now accomodate 4 magazines (up to 7.62 size) and a front ballistic plate!


Tasmanian Tiger do three versions of this Rifle Bag, the one shown above is the Medium, a rugged and well-padded bag for weapons up to 101cms (M4, AR15, G36, etc). It features 2 external pockets with separate divider and ID patch and 2 external magazine pouches.

This is just a small selection from our huge Tasmanian Tiger range.

We've just recieved a long-awaited shipment of Blackhawk's new Enhanced Battlebag. A complete re-design of their much imitated original, the latest version features some much-requested design changes:

• Complete configurable version of the popular Battle Bag.
• Slightly larger in all dimensions to accommodate a small laptop computer.
• Stiffened construction to retain structure.
• Detachable flap doubles as map case.
• Name tag window on flap.
• Body and sides of bag is covered in MOLLE webbing so operator can mount a variety of MOLLE pouches.
• HawkTex pad on shoulder strap for comfort and increased grip.
• 'D' rings on back for multiple mounting options.
• Internal 'velco' pocket allows full adjustment of compact holster and mag pouch.
• Carry handle on top flap, and on main bag when flap is removed.

The bags are available in Coyote Tan and Olive at the reduced price of £89.99 while stocks last!

Oi, it says "advertise your site." It doesn't say "swamp the farkin place!"

Best off ordering direct from the US and paying the shipping if this is the only company selling certain items the UK.

Uh, yeah, good luck with the company, though!

Hello all.

This is just a quick update to say thanks for all the orders we’ve received the last eight months, we’re glad to have helped so many of you. As a new company we really appreciate the support shown to us so far.

To celebrate Crimbo we’ve reduced the prices on loads of our kit across multiple ranges so stop by and see if you can snag a bargain. We’ve had a large delivery of Tasmanian Tiger, Vanguard and Warrior kit arrive recently with more coming in the New Year. Cobra Optics, Luger and Leatherman have now been secured and you can find these on the site right now.

Prospects are looking good for January. We’ll be kicking off by launching a new Camping/Outdoor section, expanding our range to cater for those looking for some rugged, reliable outdoor gear including sleeping bags, tents and cookware.

We’re also expecting delivery of some brand new Swedish M90 BDU gear (the real deal) sometime before Christmas so drop us an email if you want a heads-up. We’ll be taking it along to Militaria 2009 if you fancy a look.

Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.
