Green Force Tactical

Green Force Tactical year in review

We had a wild, fantastic, and unexpected ride this year. Long-term projects came to fruition and surprise opportunities came our way.

Of course, we made thousands of holsters and shipped them all over the world.

We traveled much more this year and enjoyed seeing friends old and new.

CAMDEN

Special Operations Equipment is one of our favorite places to visit and home to some of the most incredible people you will ever meet.

John is one of the most generous men you will ever meet.

"We don't do not awesome," ~Amanda

SOE always welcomes us into their family, and evens let us play with the big cock.

And, there are snakes!

John helped FXR find just the right collar for the new shop dog.

Our friends are always there.

So is a pimp daddy.

The cool kids are always there.

FXR even lit the bonfire with a vintage WWII flamethrower courtesy of Rogue Industries.

Many small businesses bring products to the SOE parties. Often, there are exclusive items dropped at the party.

Fat Bottomed Beard Company

Swinney Nutrition

Bradshaw Knives

Arkansas Infidel Knives

Key-Bar

Of course, there is shooting? Who doesn't like shooting?

Tactical Response another favorite place. First class instructors, unmatched curriculum, and they let us bring gear and test it.

When Jay Gibson talks, even in between scenarios, we listen. Jay is one of many incredibly talented and experienced instructors at Tactical Response.

Himanaaaaaay.

We brought Dave Black to the shoot house.

The MFARMORER is one of the best human beings you will ever meet.

Family bonding done right.

We always learn so much when we are role players. And we have a lot of fun.

This year at Alumni Weekend, James Yeager asked FXR to teach a class on holsters. Honored, doesn't even begin to describe that day.

FXR taught six classes in one day.

It was a brutally hot day, but FXR passed on a ton of science.

The classes varied in size, but as always, the Tactical Response Alumni were enthusiastic and willing to learn.

James also invited FXR to talk holsters and trivia on his YouTube channel. Yes, you can click on the pic below to go right to that episode.

We met Billy Birdzell last year, and we're delighted that we had the opportunity to hang out with him more this Alumni Weekend.

Billy is a true warrior scholar.

He also trains at Tactical Response- The Fight takes on a whole new dimension when Billy is the student and your are the role player.

Data and Billy were students in the class the Dammit Danner role played. The smiles are genuine.

Billy is the Brand Ambassador for Cannae, and he let us explore his bags-- OMG all the pockets you will ever need.

Also at Alumni Weekend this year were Steve and Alex Andrews form CKK-- you might know them better as KnifeKits.com and Holstersmith.com.

They invited Dave White, Founder and CEO of NSR Tactical and FXR to assist in sheath and holster making classes.

They lent their expertise, answered questions, and demonstrated techniques.

Teaching comes naturally to both Dave and FXR.

This afternnon of teaching a basic class led to greater opportunity.

CKK Industries

Soon, Dave White and FXR were both invited to CKK headquarters outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Both filmed instructional videos for KnifeKits.com and Holstersmith.com customers.

The MFCFO works closely with Steve on specialty projects like bringng the Raptor Kydex to market.

And whenever you get FXR, Steve, Mookie, and the MFCFO in the same place, it's a great time.

FXR appeared in four instructional videos for CKK. We look forward to many more projects next year.

Friends Far and Near

GFT and the Barlows. We love the Barlows.

We were delighted to form a stronger relationship with the entire crew at Twin Unicorn Designs.

The Unicorns provide quality vinyl stickers, labels and signs. The also make custom apparel.

Of course, they train.

The Unicorns.

Today all of our apparel is fulfilled and drop shipped by Twin Unicorn Designs.

And of course, they make all our banners.

Massad Ayoob Group

Massad Ayoob is a prolific writer and gun reviewer with several decades of experience. He often writes reviews and the last few have included our holsters. We love working with Mas.

Custom OWB in Ghost Kydex.

Custom OWBS in black carbon fiber, and toxic green.

Jacob Herman is one of our favorite humans, and he happens to work for Century Arms.

Jacob is a wonderful friend.

We often see him at trade shows.

We love us some Mookie. Although we don't get to see him as much as we would like, we always have a good time.

Tactical Response Alumni weekend, and Mookie brings the best toys.

Two hurricanes in Florida this year, and Mookie prepares like a pro.

When Mookie, Dana, and Ken need matching Miami Vice holsters, you make it happen.

You might see this again soon.

Dana is FXR's lawyer. Think about being FXR's Lawyer for a hot minute.

We looked for a long time and finally found the right one. We adopted our first shop dog, DEX. He's perfect.

The AWESOMES were a project we had kicked around for a few years, but finally got them into production this year. Initially limited to 20 the last one this year had a run of 50.

AWESOME 1

At the time we called it the AWESOME, not knowing if it would be successful enough to do more. As it turned out, you all thought they we as cool as we did.

Twenty Custom Awesome packages ready to fly.

We decided to produce AWESOME once a quarter, and conviently, we have four owners. Each owner planned colors, types of holsters, and added goodies. Custom Art from DeGaine Designs is exceptional.
