Why Tactical RX Are the Only Shooting Glasses We Trust | Inside a 34-Year Optics Innovator
Not all “safety glasses” are created equal.
In this video, Jacob is joined by Brett from Tactical RX / Sports Optical in Denver – the guy who’s been quietly beating the big-name brands at their own game for over 34 years.
We talk about:
- Why most mass-produced “tactical” glasses can’t hang with true custom ballistic eyewear
- How Tactical RX solved the “fishbowl” prescription problem in curved frames decades ago
- The shotgun test we did at Guardian Conference (multiple hits, zero lens penetration)
- The story of a handgun blowing up and why Brett was glad he was wearing his own glasses
- Custom night driving lenses that actually tame modern blinding headlights
- Polarized purple lenses for clay/shotgun sports that make targets pop while reducing fatigue
- Smart solutions for aging eyes: front sight bifocals and long-range turret-reading setups
- Why Tactical RX still answers the phone, talks to real humans, and treats every pair like a custom build
If you wear glasses, shoot, hunt, drive at night, or just want to actually protect your eyes with gear that’s built and tuned by people who care, this is worth your time.
