They all look like the trousers I'm wearing right now, which my wife bought me in a vain attempt to try and make me look a bit less Otis from the Devils Rejects :D

You can buy a version of them in any supermarket here for $30

Do you have the haircut that Otis had?

And does your 1911 barrel smell?

None of those are worthy of being tactical pants. They have no lower leg pocket for AR mags.
If you are unwilling to give another man freedom in his life, do not expect to have it in your own.
It surely beats trying to figure out what the metrosexuals want ( a good hard kick in the nuts in my opinion, but that won't sell ice cream :D )- Highspeed

One could always go for the original tactical pant.

That just disturbs me.
Just a little disturbing. :roll:

I was at a charity pistol match last Saturday. All us old farts, with over 25 years of cop experience, were wearing blue jeans. All the young bucks were wearing tactical trousers from 511 or Blackhawk. Coyote tan seems to be the preferred color these days.

The guy that won the match was wearing cut-off jungle fatigues, knee length rubber boots, and a Vietnam era boonie hat. It was raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock. I think he was the only guy who could see the targets.

I was on the scoring table. Have you ever tried to score cardboard targets that had so much water in them that they were returning to pulp?

Here's what's really scary, there's a tacticalunderpants.com I'm too chicken to try out the url at work, so I used whois. It's paid for through March 2011.

Note... I didn't go to that website... do don't sue me if you get fired. ;)
Years from now our children and grandchildren living in a 3rd world America will ask "What were you doing on March 21st 2010 and why didn't you stop it?"

My wife laughed at me for buying a boonie. It wasnt until the first rain, and I had no rain on my glasses, she stopped laughing at me.
