I would like to try to puttogether a group buy for Royal Robbins 5.11 Tactical pants and shirts. These are the tactical clothes that look like casualware. Also known as FBI pants.
Looking for other members who want in also looking for a dealer to sell to us. I will buy 4-5 pair myself.


::: UPDATE :::
CMMG has contacted me about a group buy, they will work prices up for me to post here, anyone interested post here and we will get this going!!

I need two pairs of shorts before the weather changes, and was considering one of the short sleeve shirts with the hidden pistol pocket. I'm good on the pants, and couldn't get away with the vest.

I'm looking for the vest, so if that is included in the deal, and the price is good, count me in. If the price is great, I might get one in both colors.....

I don't see any reason why we wouldn't be able to include their whole line in a group buy. I will get prices put together and posted tomorrow.

I am wearing a pair of 511 pants right now, I just got in from work. Next to BDU's they are what I wear out in the field in the winter.

The pants are plenty thick and can be TOO hot at times. They do make shorts.
I could always stand another pair of pant/shorts.
The vests do make GOOD IDPA wear. Just weight down the gun side pocket with a small weight and your good to go.

I'd take some black pants if we get this going.

Edit to add, Cav-Arms is also a supplier of 5.11 now, maybe contact them as well.

Are these prices permeanent for ARFCOM members or do they have an expiration date? I just ask cause I want to order some things for this season and then some shorts and sort sleeve shirts for summer and want to know if I need to make the order all at once.

Please let me know when we can move on this, I would like to try some of this gear out.

Thanks but I can get the pants a little cheaper locally.

Edited to add :
Due to a discount I get for belonging to a local range.

Thanks but I got my vest for $49 and I can buy the pants locally for less. I'd rather support my local community and save $

I'm gonna go ahead and back out of this too, I can get the pants cheaper locally even with tax added. Maybe we should try to contact RR's direct and see what it takes to order at wholesale prices.

Same here, I'm backing out. Thanks for the effort but I can get a Vest for $49.00 locally.

Ditto. I can get these prices without waiting on a group buy.

Where are you guys finding these cheaper, I would like to contact them and check on a volume deal. I have a couple of PD's that need to purchase also. Thanks

I need a few pairs of pants. Are we going ahead with a group buy? How do I order?
u-baddog  [Team Member]

Does Royal Robbins make their retailers sign an agreement to not sell below a set retail price. All the net prices are the same but if you call the retailer they seem to be willing to work with you.
To pay retail is not the idea behind the group purchase as I understand it.That kinda defeats the whole group purchase thing if there is not a discount.

Let's say that I sell a flashlight for $40 and decide to do a group buy on it. I would take $10 off the cost if I got 10 buyers together. I did a group buy on the SF 6P and offered it for about $10 over cost because I had about 20 customers. It worked out pretty well for everyone....

I think that is what a GROUP BUY is suppposed to be about. Perfect example

u-baddog, retail on the 511s is $49.95. The manufacture doesn't allow us to sell them less than the minimum advertised price of $39.95. That is why we offered it at $39.95 delivered.

It seems the manufacture had set a limit. It just seemed to wide spread to not be a advertised low limit for retailers.

Thanks for taking the time.

The pants price is pretty good w/ shipping included. I'd like a pair of OD greens in 34.

What is the status?
u-baddog  [Team Member]

I was shopping the other night at the store were I purchase my 511 stuff and I looked at the price on the pants $41.00 WTF ?
I spoke with my buddy there and asked why the price increase ? No price increase lately he said. Well I just paid less for the ones I bought in Dec. ?
He said I get the Homeboy discount for belonging to one of the ranges he shoots at. I had NO idea he was giving me a discount.

So I agree CMMG offer is a discount off retail with FREE shipping.

This thread has me confused. Is this a group buy or do we just order what we want from CMMG for the prices listed? The prices look good to me.

Normally, there would be one group buy per dealer allowed but due to the confusion of thinking this one was dead I suppose it can be resurrected. I will have CMMG start an order thread and the cutoff date.

Yep, that's right, we're now a RR 5.11 dealer.

Inventory will be rolling in over the next couple weeks.
