Blackhawk Gear - AR15.COM

I know there are many companies who sell tactical nylon gear and equipment for the active person, I just wanted to get anyone's opinion on Blackhawk's products ? Are there products to expensive or overrated and what would you consider buying from them if the prices were within your budget? Any advice would be greatly appreciated?

If I remember right they started out with their stuff being made in the US. The stuff was really high quality and everyone really liked it. Then I think they moved production overseas and quality fell.

I really like thier stuff and feel its well made. The only product of theirs that bothers me is their holsters with the carbon fiber sticker.

BH recently bought another company to make stuff in the USA to comply with the Berry amendment .

I have gotten stuff from Tactical Tailor while I was in the Army. It stood up extremely well, and was top notch considering it's cost. Nice people too.

Try Eagle Industries, Spectra Gear (CQM Solutions), High Speed Gear Inc...etc. I have good luck with these manufactuers, and I believe they are all made in USA.

Quality is the same, most people just don't like buying stuff made in Vietnam.

Sadly I find it superior to a lot of US made stuff like Eagle. If price and quality were comparable I'd prefer to buy stuff made in the US. But that isn't the case and I have a LOT of Blackhawk gear.

Also hard to beat that lifetime warranty.
