"Again, you can certainly get good gear for less that may suit you just fine but if prefer something American made and of the highest quality, Kifaru is tough to beat. "

I read that, and I hear you saying that other gear is either (a) no(t as) good, or (b) not made in America. Both of which are blatently false. Paraclete, HSGI (my personal fave for Gucci-gear), Emdom, SOE, TAG, Eagle, SpecOps, they all make equally worthy gear, and last I looked, in America. Even Blackhawk is moving thier prod back to the US, becuase they want to get the contracts and the GSA has thier rules, which means that thier QC is going to go up. The only one I know of that is priced like Kifaru is is LBT, and they just aren't worth it.
