I’m Burt, the founder of Burt’s Rec Room.

I started this company because I was tired of seeing people spend their hard-earned money on gear that fails when it matters most. There’s too much low-quality gear out there being sold under the “tactical” label — and it puts good people at risk.

But it’s not just about gear. I also saw how toxic and gatekept the tactical world can be, especially for folks just starting out. That’s not how we do things here.

My friends and I train hard — we hit the range, run drills, sharpen skills — and then we fire up the grill and talk about life. That’s the real heart of this: community, readiness, and reliability.

Burt’s Rec Room isn’t just a store. It’s a tribe for protectors, warriors, and serious civilians who take their training seriously and want gear that won’t quit.

Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been in the game for years — you’re welcome here.
