Gear Drama: SOE, or Special Operations Equipment was a gear company founded by John Willis. They made the toughest fucking gear I've ever laid my eyes upon, and backed it up with a warranty that you won't really need. And then Mr. Willis goes to jail for a bit. During the time, his significant other lets the quality of the shop go downhill, while charging the same high prices. Eventually, John gets out of jail to find a divorce, and his old company in the shitter and now owned by his ex. The now ex renames SOE to BDS Tactical. John Willis resumes his old trade of doing high end custom gear by himself. And yes, he still backs his old SOE gear.
So you probably won't find any SOE gear new. But that's okay; buying 2nd hand you'll save a decent wad of cash (The afformentioned $50 holster I saw cost me over $100 new for a similar model) and for quality gear, there will be negligible wear (worst case scenario, it'll be painted. oh, no!). Just keep your eye on the gear section of the board.
Another manufacturer that makes high quality gear with the same holster pattern is Eagle.
Oh, and fyi Proud does made a lanyard plug for ksc glocks. |
