LaRue Tactical
Just want to share a story about LaRue Tactical. I recently contacted them about getting a couple of cats tails for two DDM's that I know. The person I spoke with told me that they were limited distro and weren't generally available. He then asked for a shipping address and told me that they would be in the mail.
I tried to give him my CC info and he said "they aren't for sale". Well today a package showed up with (2) cats tails, a LaRue hat, some Dillo Dust, a magazine, 2 bumper stickers and a small tin of candy. I was stunned. They not only sent me two free cats tails, but threw in the other stuff as well. Plus they paid the shipping. These are some great people!

A cattail is an extension on the variable ring so it can be moved more readily.

Those guys are great! Everything from the Xmas Dillo to just sending bits a pieces, etc. I find I am funding it one way or another, but feel good about it. Great product, customer service, curstomer care. What a bar to measure against.
Dillon I used to think was as standup as they go for keeping the customer running and happy. Tend to put Dillon and LaRue on the same level.
Plus the "God bless our troops...especially the snipers" bumber sticker on the back of my Jeep just brings out a tears for me

Larue Tactical + Free Swag = Shooter's Heaven 
LT is great about helping our troops out with whatever they can. Their CS is second to none and the Dillo Dust is good on just about anything!
Since I'm almost out of my last bottle of Dillo Dust it looks like it's time to order more LT kit.

LaRue is great. My bank was giving them grief. We did not realize it right away. I thought maybe my university did something stupid to my account because it has happened before. I finally check all my bases and tell them it should be fine. I finally called the bank. Turned out they were being dumb. Anyway, LaRue put up with it when others wouldn't have. I order many things through them like magazines when I want some more just because I like the company.

What's not to like about Larue Tactical?
Unparalleled product.
Fast order turnaround.
Very friendly and attentive service.
As patriotic as one could ever be.
Dillo dust, tactical beverage entry tools, ballcaps galore, SPR porn and bumper stickers that tick off leftists.

+1 for all of the above
LaRue is a great outfit. Top notch stuff and quick shipping. I went to a hobby store and bought a roll of magnetic sheet and cut to fit the bumper stickers - I can now move them car to car and make sure I always have one on to mess with the left.

What is the origin of DDM designation - is this a Mil or Leo designation? What happened to DSM (Designated Squad Marksman) designation?

Even more impressive than this example, is all the things ML does below the radar that no one will ever know.

The State Dept. refers to their "snipers" as DDM's as they are supposed to be acting in a "defensive" capacity. I believe another term used is Squad Designated Marksman (Army).

I called Larue one time on a Saturday since I forgot what day it was. Those that work out of the country understand this completely. Anyway, I was calling to redeem a gift certificate for a Stealth Upper I bought. Mark answers the phone, "machine shop on a Saturday, this is Mark". I said "sorry Mark, I'm overseas and forgot what day it was". He then says, well you're different, what can I do for you? I told him about the gift certificate and that I wanted to redeem it for my upper. He told me no problem, email me describing which one you want and I'll be sure to get it out on Monday. He shipped the upper out on Monday as promised which was before I even got the gift certificate in the mail and also sent me plenty of free Larue schwag. There are no better people to do business with than Mark and his staff.

Larue demonstrates the level of customer service that all companies should aspire to.
