Diamondback Tactical
 

I've been dealing with them some lately. And I have to say, I'm impressed. There are a lot of items on back order, but I don't think anymore than anyone else.

And the quality of everything I have received to date has been outstanding.

The super belt, mag pouches, IFAK pouch - everything.

Jane Hensley has been helping me and she is great! Very responsive to email and cranky old customers.

Good to hear, I ran into them at a couple of recent trade shows and was not happy with their ability to determine status of stock or their follow-up.

Maybe you found the person there who has the keys.

I tried to order ESS glasses and RX inserts yesterday from them. They told me they were backordered for 8-11 weeks. That's a long time for a back order. I will say that the price (discount) was very good. I have a laundry list of stuff to take to the "box" so I hope they can square me away.

Yeah, everything they don't have right away seems to be 8-11 weeks. I think they are hedging some. I know some guys on here have had some issues with them. But hell, I'm having issues with everyone. I've been waiting since last Sept. on some UA t-shirts from another source. Not brown or khaki - BLACK!

I was a little dubious about the quality, since I had never seen any. But it's as good as anybody elses mass producing as far as I can tell. Of course Eggroll will always be Eggroll.:lifter

If I was in the US, I would get everything from either Egg or Optactical.

I have been trying to get ahold of egg for about 3 weeks now...e-mail, PM, this board, another board, hell even HIS board. No response.
:confused:

EGG

DBT is still good to go.

I received a couple of Nalgene pouches and a 6-round shotgun pouch from them. Good workmanship and the price is ok.

Jane hooked me up with the gov discount before I even asked her.

Doc,

They run hot and cold with me. I know Jason Beck (company owner) personally and I drop his name when I need resolution on a matter.

Back order is back order.... There are just not any companies (BHI is the exception of course) that can meet the demand.
I had the unit the order four chest rigs for a test and they are all on back order.

I did call them about a custom order and it took them 6 days to return my call to tell me that they could do it. (low vis AK RACK in six color "chocolate chip" desert)

The plus side of that story is that they found 20 yards of 1000D in six color and were prepared to work the order if I still wanted it.

I'm with you DOC, good kit, gonna wait anywhere you go so why not give them your business.

Did I mention the ex 5th SFG connection? yep a former SEAL hiring ex group guys. Right guys for the right job. Good for Jason.

Yeah, I've got a plate carrier on order and it looks like it might take a while.

I'm am shooting for "Best Jocked Up Instructor" this year.:lifter

I know, youve been getting all fancy with the kit these days....

We can't hold onto the Car-15/aimpoint 5000/hoseclamps-Maglite days forever....Evoulution calls. :cool:

With the exception of the back order waits, and sometimes unavailability of items, I have been very impressed with the quality of their products, I ordered their E&E bag, which was great for stashing optics while on the go, and I really dig the padded pistol belt, gotta say Im a fan of the BattleLab stuff, Im a believer in "you get what you pay for", a buddy of mine got pretty much his whole rig from them, including the multi-hit plates and mich half ear helmet and they were really cooperative in getting them out to him in a reasonable time. Then again, I am still waiting on a hip panel I ordered in Sept.

DBT good to go....
 

DBT has some stuff I've ordered on backorder too, but it's coming piece by piece. The E&E bag is good stuff and it holds up, isn't too big for the uparmored vehicles with you and all your kit, plus a full crew. My M4 pouches can carry one M14 mag and I didn't know that until recent. The patrol buttpak is a decent piece of kit and the weapons catch for transition....ie...M4 to pistol, to shotgun...etc...I know you all know this...(laughing) Jane Hensley has been straight with me too. No complaints.

I made an order a month ago and just got billed last week. Meaning the items are on the way. Problem is they didn't bill me the whole amount. Meaning there are items on back order. Problem I emailed them asking what items are not coming and they haven't answered me. I was the credit card holder when I worked a SFAUC and we purchased thousands of dollars of equipment from them. They were always very helpful and respondent then. It seems they are less respondent with individual orders from the little guys.

She doesn't like you - she told me so....:)
