Most of my gear is HSGI. I have some Tactical Tailor and Blue force gear stuff too. All of it is good. I have no complaints.

I voted OSOE, because I like the gear (made in motherfucking USA too) and John's wife is hot... but HSGI is also a favorite. Gene is a great guy. I've personally met him, and he went FAR out of his way to set me up with what I needed at the time. I've had good experience with Eagle gear, though their customer service leaves a little to be desired, IMO.

I don't understand why Condor and Voodoo made the list but Blackhawk! and (more importantly) CRYE PRECISION didn't. Blackhawk is HUGE, and CP has provided a lot of much needed (IMO) innovation into the realm of tactical gear.

While I haven't experienced them all, Blackhawk! is the only one I can personally say anything negative about. But, when their gear fails, they are good about fixing/replacing it for you.

I voted Tactical Tailor, but I also have to give a shout-out to UW Gear:
http://www.uwgearinc.com/

All of their rigs are handmade, in the US, and they make some fantastic stuff! Their owner John worked with me every step of the way to create my dream chest rig. Cannot give these guys enough props! :D

I also have some gear from TAG, HSGI, Source, ATS, Blackhawk, and a few others I'm sure. I've ditched my Condor stuff except a simple hydration carrier and their Soft Shell Jacket (which is fantastic). I never really had any of it fail, but most of it just feels like crap. The difference between my TAG and Condor dump pouches is just night and day.

I use:
Tactical Tailor
Eagle
OSOE
HSGI
EMDOM
London Bridge Trading


My favorite would be OSOE. John Willis is a cool dude, and just helped sponsor a giveaway on facebook with Mission First Tactical. I also give them their business because they are hiring (American Jobs) I do not buy foreign gear. Its American or nothing.

I use a mix of USGI surplus, SDS, Safariland, and Spec-Ops Brand, which is a Texas-based Camelbak spinoff. Safariland and Spec-Ops made the highest qualify stuff I own.

Forgot some of the USGI items I have, like the pistol belt and M12 holster, as well as all my rucks. Good stuff, not high speed, but affordable and holds up better than anything else in it's price range!

EMDOM.

HANDS DOWN.

Over engineered, comes with malice clips.

I'm also very fond of TT, HSGI, Eagle, Paraclete and recently TAG.

London Bridge Trading mostly, but Tactical Tailor is a close second.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem solve itself?

Proven & Onsale is my favorite brand. So far it seems everybody's got their strogest points (HSGI Tacos, Eagle SPC, TT's MAV) and I'd be hard pressed to pick one.

I like Specter Gear: http://www.spectergear.com/ Made in the US and they have great stuff for military or law enforcement applications, specifically their selection of belt pouches.
