Made-to-order products

Built to Order. Built Right.

Many First Capital Tactical products are made to order. Our current lead time is the estimated amount of time between when your order is placed and when it is completed, inspected, and prepared for shipment.

We do our best to keep the lead time shown above accurate and updated as production volume changes.

What Does the Lead Time Include?

The posted lead time represents production and order fulfillment time only. It begins after your order has been successfully placed and does not include the time your package spends in transit after leaving FCT.

For example, if our current lead time is 7–10 business days, your order is expected to be manufactured and prepared for shipment within approximately 7–10 business days. Shipping time begins after your order leaves our facility.

Lead Time ≠ Delivery Time

Production Lead Time + Carrier Transit Time = Estimated Total Delivery Time

Shipping estimates shown at checkout apply to carrier transit time only and should not be added in place of our production lead time.

Weekends, holidays, unusually high order volume, custom requests, material availability, or circumstances outside our control may occasionally affect production times.

Ready-to-Ship Products

Products specifically identified as Quick Ship, Ready to Ship, or In Stock may ship sooner than our standard made-to-order lead time. Any different fulfillment estimate will be stated on the applicable product page.

Need Your Order by a Certain Date?

If you need an order for a specific date, training event, assignment, or other deadline, please contact us before placing your order. We cannot guarantee expedited production unless arrangements have been confirmed in advance.

We Appreciate Your Patience

We're a small American manufacturer, and we would rather take the time necessary to build and inspect your gear properly than rush an order out the door.

Thank you for choosing First Capital Tactical.

Built for the Fight.
