Holy crap 1000 for a carrier are you kidding me.

Hell the current bid on that carrier is at $515.00. Is this stuff bomb proof or what?

It's Paraclete. They don't market to the masses like Blackhawk does.

On the other hand, their stuff is very very good.

How does this compare quality-wise with a similar product from say, Eagle or TT?

I have a few of their Pistol mag pouches that I really like. They are right up there with the Eage and TT stuff that I have seen as far as quality.

As good or better, every time.

More money (in some cases, MUCH more), almost every time, unless you can get a GSA price.

Usually pretty original designs as well.
