The various items I have bought from FS have all been top-notch.

FirstSpear makes innovative stuff... but I'm going to say I've had negative experiences with their stuff.

1) My Glock mag pouches (ALL THREE) were insanely tight and required two hands to remove. One to hold the pouch - the other to pull the mag. In my mind I considered it negligent and dangerous that they did not work out the box. It's like they mislabeled some P226/M9 pouches or something... emailed CS and never got a response so I just went at it with a heat gun and eventually sold it.

2) I've seen a Strandhogg carrier's shoulder strap sewn into somewhere completely different. You'd expect it to be mirrored on the other side but nope...

Buncha Eagle's employees split and started FS a few years back.

First spear was started and is staffed by former Eagle employees IIRC.

I had to look up the staff from Windham to understand what you were saying, then it hit me like a brick wall. Bushmaster, Bushmaster, Bushmaster... They're all from Bushmaster.

Ouch, BUSHMASTER??? I don't really have a dog in the fight here but I have never seen anything that wasn't top notch on a regular basis from First Spear. They make awesome innovative gear and I actually rank them up at the Top of the gear industry, personally. We have several joint ventures with them and their QC has been fantastic.

I'm interested in this as I really have nothing but good things to say about the crew at FS.

You guys know me, I don't stick my head out for people I don't know (however for my friends I am fiercely loyal), especially a company that could be a competitor to us, but I do give credit where it is due. First Spear has always gotten my seal of approval.

I don't think he was referring to their quality. At least I'd like to think not.

I think the comment was more of the fact that the crew at Eagle all just went over to FS. (When Eagle was bought out?)

OP, First Spear is known as one of the most innovative and high quality gear makes in existence. That said we've never had more high quality gear to choose from across the price ranges.

I get the analogy but it felt more like comparing Military Special Whiskey at the PX to Maker's Mark. First Spear took the best from Eagle and kept up the innovation to create First Spear.
Sorry for misinterpreting the intention.

I did too just thinking about it. The second time I was a private It was all I could afford until I got my rank back up slowly. The worst part was when you would just grab it quickly and get home and realize you got the rum, or vodka instead. Why are they all clear liquids and with the same crappy label........ And how are we not blind from drinking it.

I really love your store, I have been buying from you since multicam was invented, pre 2006. Your opinion means a lot to me.

Thank you.

Yeah it wasn't my intent for my comment to come across as a knock against quality in any way, First Spear is a top tier maker in my mind.

Demotions, divorces, and combat time makes the best NCO's. Not always the most fun life lessons, but all important to sculpt the future.
