    Blue Force Gear and OSTS

    Well it's been a amazing 10yr run but going forward we will no longer be carrying Blue Force Gear.

    We built the brand in Canada and established BFG as the issued sling for the RCMP, worked on getting a Canadian Forces NSN for the Vickers Slings, established BFG as the issued sling for many CF units, LE Tactical Teams, LE Agencies and Nuclear Security Teams as well as provided it to a huge number of individuals.

    We sold over 25,000 slings in the 10yrs which is almost 7 slings a day.

    We brought our good friend Larry Vickers up numerous times to help promote the brand and work with Canadian Forces.

    We set up a number of dealers over the years in Canada and Europe.

    Over the last couple years though there have been changes at BFG that directly affected how we do business and serve our clients and some more changes came this last week.

    Unfortunately for us it doesn't make sense for us to continue to bring in Blue Force Gear.

    I have some amazing friends down there and will continue to talk to them and see them, however at this point in time our business relationship will be ending.
    Please note, my opinion could be biased based on past and present employment

    I figured something was up when the sale started.

    Sucks, but what has to be done has to be.
    Are you familiar with The Shmoo, Mr. Fisher?

    Very sorry that things didn't work out.

    Thanks for providing BFG gear to our market for as long as you did.

    Any plans on replacing it with another manufacturer?

    Meh. They don't make the Anaconda Breacher's sling anymore anyway.
