We have learned this past year that it has been difficult for many of you to put your hands on our WT Tactical® products, so this year we are expanding both our dealer network and our presence in base stores across the country.
It can be difficult for these organizations to compete with a manufacturer who offers its products direct to the consumer at a fixed, regular discount. In an effort to make our dealer network as effective for you as possible, we are suspending our standing 10% Military/LE discount. This action will allow our dealer network to flourish and make our products more available and accessible through a variety of outlets.
In the near future we will be updating our How To Buy WT Tactical® section with information to help you choose the best purchasing vehicle for your needs. Stay tuned.
At this year’s SHOT Show, WT Tactical® will will unveil two new clothing lines on behalf of Smith & Wesson®.

It is divided into four categories, Shooting, Tracking, Range, and Hybrid. The jackets have conceal carry internal pockets that function for carrying a gun as well as for carrying an iPhone. The pants have wider belt loops specifically positioned for a holster. The apparel style, quality, and innovation echos the Smith & Wesson brand essence. Wild Things expertise infuses technical fabrications and functional design ergonomics through the line. Product designs exhibit time honored Smith & Wesson All-American heritage, while leveraging the Wild Things technical innovation.”
