For me the price has always been good and there gear is comfortable. I know they arent breaking any new grounds considering a lot of their designs seem to be ripoffs of other companies, Eagle especially.
I am non military so maybe that makes a difference but I and others I know seem to like the blackhawk gear but it doesnt seem to demand much respect on this board. Give me your opinions. They are no longer American made, most of their stuff is made in thialand. I had one for my xd. I hear ya. I have a serpa for my glock but in the 3 years Ive had it I can say I havent necessarily put it through any "hard" use, mainly just rangeuse. I like the holster though better than others ive tried.
As far as there nylon gear is concerned all mine says Made In Vietnam and has held up really well. I guess this is what it takes to keep the price low. If it ain't made in the USA it's not very good. I notice that mindset here as well. It does seem to be especially strong in the gear sector because I dont see it a whole lot in the gun sector.
I would think this would translae over to the gear sector as well. Being in manufacturing I can say that what is more important than where the item is made is the companies quality standards imposed on the foreign company manufacturing the goods.
What I see with the blackhawk gear is, due to the price many airsofters use the gear and that makes it not "cool". As a civilian I believe that whatever funds can be scrounged up need to be dedicated to your arms, quality mags and lots of ammo. The gear is second. Depends what you purchase from them. They sell A LOT of gear. Very well made and well thought out. I'm not a fan of their plate carriers and vests, but that's more subjective taste issue than fear of bad design or manufacture.
Quoted: Depends what you purchase from them. This is my opinion on US vs. Foreign made gear. We are in a global war. I'll continue to buy us made gear albeit that i don't have that much more to pick up. Plus it helps our economy in the trickle down effect. Warranty - non existent. Quality control, hit or miss. I have Personally had blackhawk equipment fail on me. First week in Baghdad, clearing a structure on a raid, going up stairs cqb sling HK clip fails dropping ma2 down the flight of stairs.
Second, dismounted op, Patrol pack right shoulder strap fails after 4 miles with the following contents: Pas TWS, rounds 7. Pack sent in for warranty and was told that it was abuse. It was obvious that the stitching was substandard. I got through that mission by paracording the shoulder strap to the flap and praying I didn't lose anything.
Quoted: As far as there nylon gear is concerned all mine says Made In Vietnam and has held up really well. There are damned few Blackhawk products that cost less than the American made products that they are copied from. Manufacturing in Vietnam isn't about keeping prices low. It is about keeping profits high. For me its mostly about the rip-off's of others designs and the sub standard manufacturing.
Like you said a lot of their shit is a ripoff from companies like Eagle. Then they have it made in third world countries to save a buck, then charge as much as if it were actually made in the US. I've also had some back luck I guess, with some of their products not holding up. Their Hydrastorm bladder and carrier sucked ass.
We had them issued to our batallion a while ago. Almost everyone had problems from leakage, to seams coming apart. For the price they charge, there is better quality. Blackhawk is for airsofters The spring slipped out of place and the retention button didn't work.
I could draw the pistol but it no longer had any retention. You can adjust the screws to get a friction fit either. I found some hemostats and pulled the spring back into place and it was good to go.
I sold it to someone and bought a new one. I love it. Quoted: Quoted: Depends what you purchase from them. On of my troops had his Serpa jam and lock the gun into the holster while going through field training. I had to destroy the locking mechanism to get the gun back out. When it comes to gear in general, not Blackhawk in particular mind you Around the house and bump firing at the range, it just about all works fine.
Start giving it a repetative workout in serious training classes multiple times each year, and you'll start seeing where gear has issues and weaknessess. Its little things that often make the difference, such as, what kind of thread is used, the stitching, the weight of the material used, etc Those things may all look the same to the naked eye, but their differences show once they start getting stressed, wet, sweaty, dirty, etc..
After all, this is the manner in which most people have the most repetitions pushing buttons such as keys on a keypad or phone or ringing doorbells. When the finger pushes in on the release button and the user initiates the upward motion of the draw stroke, the finger tends to stay in motion and as the trigger guard clears the holster, the finger enters the trigger guard and contacts the trigger, with possibly tragic results. I am aware of two instances where trained personnel have shot themselves using this holster in conjunction with Glock pistols.
In August of , a situation occurred with a live weapon that resulted in the shooter losing a 10cm piece of her femur. The other occurred with nonlethal training ammunitions in a force-on-force event in April of The impact of the NLTA was in the same area as the actual gunshot wound previously mentioned.
I used the belt loop option for use with my Glock The weapon fits great and the release is also a plus. Works well and is durable. Verified Buyer. Best belt ever. I have owned 3 now and have given them away to show my friends how incredible they are. My favorite holster. Brings back memories from my days in Iraq. I love this holster and so does my Beretta 92 SF. Thank you. The Blackhawk Headquarters Blackhawk founder Mike Noell built his business around one vow: build a better backpack.
After he survived this harrowing experience, he swore to create gear that would be strong enough for SEAL missions. Noell founded his company in , starting with backpacks and expanding to cover nearly everything a serviceman could need in combat from headwear to holsters to boots. At TacticalGear.
