Our desire in launching our own line of products, is to provide affordable, well-made gear for other Budget Operators. We want to fill the gap between cheap gear that is cheaply made, and quality gear that is very expensive.
This is a difficult task to accomplish. The truth of manufacturing is that "you get what you pay for."
However, over the past 10 years many of us have built much of our own gear and experimented with different levels of quality in different categories of gear. We've learned a lot about the breaking points of our gear, and where and how to cut corners in its production without detrimentally effecting its quality.
The gear we offer is all well made, by hand, in our own shops right here in the USA (unless otherwise stated).
But we've chosen to cut corners on appearance and name brand accessories. The gear we offer will not have the shiniest edges on the market, and it will sometimes come with homemade mounting options, etc.
This allows us to cut your cost by reducing production time and making our own accessories in house for a fraction of the name brand prices.
Furthermore, with our kydex products - where we have deemed it non detrimental to the strength of the product - we have also chosen to use thinner kydex sheets, and decided not to support special kydex prints (such as multicam).
Again - our purpose is to provide quality gear (not top-of-the-line gear) at a much more affordable price than the market standard.
If you have the resources - we recommend you go buy the more expensive gear. But if you've been looking for gear that rides that fine line between cheaply made and expensively procured, or if you're looking for quality gear to beat up on the range running drills or practicing land NAV in the bush - you've come to the right place!
We would love to have your feedback and opinions on our approach to meeting this need! Please contact us with any ideas you have or gear options you'd like us take a look at producing!
