| What is the quality like with the Spec Ops Brand compared to Blackhawk and Eagle? |
Spec Ops Brand is popular and made well. I do not feel it is nearly as well made as Eagle and their line is not nearly as well thought out as Blackhawk. They are, however, a good working gear company and their products are useful. |
| Made in the usa of cordura nylon.......yes they don't offer a wide variety of product like blackhawk but I've found what they do offer to function very well. I own their dry cell map case, dry cell on board, and mamba geronimo sling....all have worked well for me... Nicer then the viatnamese crap blackhawk puts out... |
| Spec Ops gear flat out rocks, their quality is second to none, and the CEO is a damn fine man and shooter. If I need a pack or a pouch, and I haven't picked it up off a prize table at a match they sponsor, they are the company I look to first. I love their wallet, THE Pack, and organizers. Great stuff. Buy with confidence. |
I cant belive you really said that lol.
Brad, Are you kidding me? What does DarkChicken think up? They just wait for other companies to do all the R&D and then they have it knocked off in Viet Nam (by the same folks who tried to kill my Uncle and locked our GI's in fucking Tiger Cages)... I can't wait for DarkChicken to use some of that deep thought to come out with a "R.A.D.E." (Rip-off Anglo Designed Equipment) pack, then you can sell them along side the "R.A.I.D." pack... In case you missed it.. lightfighter.net/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/5436084761/m/7571002011 and here: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=61&t=146319 |
Didn't I see you weraing 5.11 Tactical pants at the SHOT show? I know I saw you wearing some in pictures on your website. Did you check to see where they were made? There is alot of business being done in that part of the world -- much of it is products you might not have thought to tlook at. My brother, I am sorry about your mount being knocked off, but don't be mad at Blackhawk for copying people's gear. EVERYONE in the nylon industry, and I mean EVERYONE, even the names that you dare not to even think would, copy their lines from other people. EVERYONE. All of them. I have been around this crowd long enough to accept this. |
Ok, I miss-read you and though you were saying that they were the ones putting original thought (ie R&D) into the designs. You are correct, they make/sell something for just about anyone (and in different colors). I think that the Black Water stuff is going to give them some heart-ache...it looks like good gear, is made here in the USA and has Uncle Mike’s (a HUGE company) to pay the bills. You did see me in 5.11's and we bought them (over $7K worth) before they went to Viet Nam or Cambodia (Trust me, I am a tag reading sum-bitch). Because it's almost all shifted to Viet Nam, we have not placed any further orders with 5.11. I also sent them an e-mail letting them know my feeling on the matter and why I did not place the re-order. I know you think I'm silly about this, but the whole country of origin thing is a huge deal with me as it has hurt many people I care very much about (as well as America in general). I pay alot to have my shoes all made in the USA or a NATO country and also with my clothes (to the extent we are looking into having a tailor do runs of pants and shirts for us). Also the whole thing of blatantly ripping off designs is juts plain chicken shit and I try to avoid doing work with people like that. |
Just one more Damn reason to like that company in AZ. TXL |
