Hey there..

 

I been looking for a good store where I can buy 511 items, for a good price...

btw im a ems provider... maybe ems discount? lol

 

Anyone knows?

 

 

Thank you

Buy online, local stores are much more expensive.

I will go out on a limb here. I have been to this place twice now, the first time was not a good experience so I went back and gave it another shot. The second was just 'ok'.

 

They cater about 95% to LE/EMS, so there is this arrogance hanging in the air both times I have been there. I will never go back.

 

I will say they have a huge selection of 5.11 tactical stuff. Jackets, pants, belts, accessories, boots and they have a fair share of MOLLE stuff as well as holsters and all that jazz.

I've had the same experience with them.

LAPolicegear.com sells 'em.

Try Lapolicegear... or 5.11 own site and check to see if your unit gets a discount.

I did they dont do it unless I go thru my squad and we buy quantity ...

I bought a couple magazines from them and they shipped fast.

I don't like where the pant belt loops force my holster to be. They are in just the wrong spot for either loop under the holster or loop outside the holster. I guess any real operator would be wearing a drop-leg holster with his 5.11s anyway

Try Atlantic tactical in Somerset

Or you could use a paddle holster....

I dont have an issue with it..it's a LITTLE farther forward than with other types of trousers, but not in a major way..of cours that is only with a paddle holster, with a Tuckable it doesnt really matter

I've had the same experience with them.

 

Seems like we've had similar opinions lately!

 

Where is this place?

 

As much as I didn't want to advertise for them, because I was REALLY dissatisfied with their service, they are located in Somerset about 100yds off Easton Ave. The shop is 'Atlantic Tactical'.

 

Since you're EMS, you will probably have your balls massaged for you while you walk around the store. I'm sure civilians stick out like a sore thumb, but with all things aside, it is a business and they have to respect that not all their customers are in emergency services.

 

If they limited their store to LE only, then I could understand if they get frustrated with civilians always wanting to buy stuff and them saying no...and some stores are like that, but get over it. We want to buy products as well, we want to ask questions, we would like answers, so stop ignoring me and stop pretending that I am such a nuisance and just take 30 seconds out of your time to answer my simple question(s).

 

I rarely say this or rarely have such a terrible experience that I will do this, but I refuse to patronize that business.

I know exactly what you mean. And with all 3 pairs of 5.11 pants I have, that is the only downside to them. Great pants nonetheless.

Wow, Andres.... I have had nothing but good experiences at AT.

That's cuz you're technically LE

 

I should go in there for a look.

Only been there once as "LE".

I dunno Jon. The first time I waited about 20mins in line just to ask a couple questions and then pay for a jacket on closeout. The second time I could't get anyone to help me with boots.

 

I decided that I would come back and in 'cop looking' format. I planned on shaving my head and dressing nice as a test to see if I would get treated differently but that next time never came because I didn't feel like wasting my time. And now that my hair is finally growing in I don't wanna buzz it haha.

 

Edit: And wait, I didn't know you were LE? I thought you just did computer stuff for a PD?

there is a spot here in newark on the corner of market street and university, its called atlantic uniform... alot of displays of 5.11 stuff in window, not sure if prices and staff though...

Communications, not a LEO. Been in there for work stuff and never had an issue. Never been there when it was crowded, though.
