Quoted: Those poor Pendelton Marines. Don't they have it hard enough with SOE Gear being located in Oceaonside?
Nice walk in store. Not much was in stock the last few times I've been in, but that's understandable what with wars going on.

Stopped by their store the other day and picked up a few items. They were quite helpful and I placed an order for a Spector MOUT single-point in Coyote and a Blackhawk CQC dress belt for work. While I was there, a SDPD SWAT/SRT Sniper stopped in, two Oceanside PD patrol officers (who had to literally run out the back to the call that hit the paper today about a robber who wound up on the wrong end of the shoot out with OPD), two teenage AirSoft players, and two gangbangers. Interesting mix. The store looked to have a pretty full range of items from Blackhawk, Spector, Surefire, 5.11, and Benchmade. There was a bit of a shortage of more esoteric items, but they only opened a few weeks ago, so give them time.
For those who like the water, TAG's (Tactical Assault Gear) north county location is a few blocks north (I guess folks don't like driving down to "Impressive Beach." Must be the excess number of marine mammals balancing balls on their noses.
Someone said that SOE is no longer doing retail and is focusing on its GSA / DOD contracts. Any confirmation on this?
