[QUOTE="aestus, post: 2670806, member: 2989"] They're made cheaply in China and have QC issues. You might get something from Condor that is well built and will last a long time, or you may get something that just falls apart on you. Some of the stuff put out from Condor has very low thread count and are mainly gear for a static range. They do have some stuff I've seen in the 500 count + thread counts though. Their stuff comes from the same factory as NC Star stuff. A lot of the lower tier tactical equipment all look and operate the same because they are the same. Same Chinese factory just with a different logo and price based on what that brand name can demand. Their designs are based on the 'lowest common denominator' that the factory producing them sells to everyone else in the lower tiers before those companies rebrands them. That means if a design is particularly weak on a specific seam that is prone to breaking or wearing, they won't update the designs to fix it unless they are ready to do it for all their OEM brands. This is opposite of what Eagle Industries and similar companies where they are constantly making tweaks and changes based on a history of usage and failure points. A particular model today could be different with different stitching compared to the same model bought 3 years ago. With that said, if you don't really put more than 200 rounds in a range session and are lucky to put in 1 range time a month then Condor / NC Star might be good enough (QC issues aside.) If you're doing hardcore multi-day classes where you're rolling in the dirt and pumping out 2k rounds ,ect. then you'll find some of the Condor type gear being shredded up really fast. [/QUOTE]
