A Visit with Tactical Supply

Recently we had a chance to visit with Shayne Downing, co-owner of The Range and Tactical Supply in Yakima, WA. Not only did we learn how the business started, but we got to geek out a bit and get a behind the scenes look at the Cerakote process.

The Range is a state of the art “guntry club” facility featuring a retail store, indoor shooting range with VIP suite, classroom for training, espresso bar, manufacturing operations, a gunsmithing workshop, and more. Tactical Supply also offers their own line of precision rifles and designs and manufactures accessories for precision rifles including a turnkey bipod featuring their popular Talon feet. Tactical Supply has organized and held precision rifle matches and will be hosting a Precision Rifle Series match in June of 2016 (which we will be attending).

Here are a few teaser photos from the video (you’ll find the video link at the bottom of the article):

On a side note, Ed picked up one of their Left Hand Kydex holsters along with a S&W Shield in 9mm. After a couple of months of use, the Kydex holster and spare mag system works well and is very comfortable. Bottom line, Tactical Supply can set you up with a nice turnkey carry system. Whether driving, eating out or at the movies, Ed has absolutely zero worry about the pistol or magazine coming out – unless he wants them to. Another nice feature is you can engage and disengage the safety on the S&W Shield without removing it from the holster (it’s a little easier to do on the left hand holster). This allows one to engage the safety when holstering and disengage it when holstered – an additional margin of safety in case something were to enter the trigger guard during holstering.
