Q.The BIG QUESTION: Why doesn??t BDS Tactical stock any gear?
A.BDS Tactical builds your gear to order in Oceanside, CA.
You can rest easy knowing your equipment is being guided through our production process by men and women who take pride in their work and our products, and that you are getting a fair price from a company committed to keeping our gear affordable and accessible. Once placed, your order will enter a proven and efficient production process, and you will be informed as it passes through the following phases before it ships:
Our Production Process:
Production Phase 1
During Phase 1, your order is processed and checked for accuracy. Once confirmed, the order will be placed in line based on the production level you chose. Priority Rush Production orders enter a separate queue for fast paced production. Finally, a list of required materials and hardware will be prepared, and material cut patterns for the order will be digitally plotted using the latest software.

Production Phase 2
During Phase 2, all materials required for your order are pulled and cut. Hardware (Buckles, Loops, D-Rings, and more) is gathered from our warehouse, webbing is cut to size and quantity, and our automated table cuts patterns out of rolls of 1000 Denier Cordura nylon. If necessary, we can still cut patterns of material in sheets by hand. Once completed, all of the materials are grouped together for your order and sent to be sewn.
Production Phase 3
During this longest production phase, the item(s) ordered will be sewn and assembled by our experienced production staff. Some sewing teams are tasked exclusively with handling our Rush Production orders. While this process may take the longest, this phase is where your equipment order turns from concept into reality, and where we take the most care to ensure our standards for quality and durability are met. Only one more stage of production remains once Phase 3 is completed.
Final Phase 4
In this fourth and final phase, your order is cleaned of IP??s and any remaining buckles, buttons, or straps are added.
Our quality control staff reviews the equipment to ensure quality, durability, and accuracy, and sends the order to our shipping department to be packaged and sent on its way to your front door.
The AdvantageWe are honored to manufacture tactical equipment that front line end users can depend on. Further, we are committed to keeping the equipment you need affordable, accessible, and most importantly, mission adaptable. Rather than stocking material and equipment, BDS Tactical keeps costs down by ordering exactly what is needed for our current production schedule. By cutting our production costs, we can extend our savings to you. In short, BDS Tactical is all about high speed, low drag production.
We have set out to make undeniably rugged and adaptable gear for the modern gunfighter, and we will continue to relentlessly pursue that goal right here in Oceanside, CA.
