Nutnfancy SHOT Show: Blackhawk!

[@nutnfancy]

"God dammmit Nutn! The 1st 1minute 30 seconds of this video is why I respect you.' Thanks dude. I want to be fair to the companies and do my best but I can see through the hype. That attitude got to me at the Show. I don't want to share the name of the company yet because I'm not sure he spoke for everyone there and it wouldn't be fair to lambast them on that one data point alone. However if I get more of the same from these guys then I will. Tactical nylon makers are many. Thanks all.

[@salmonking007]

Your introduction alone landed you five stars Fancy. Thanks again for taking time out of your life to give us a cutting edge cover of this year's shot-show, while still considering the little guy.

[@DanaMcLendon]

Smacking gum on your selfie standup then vouching for Blackhawk Serpa holster and talking about "I'm big on value, bro" and "their shade of Desert Earth is the best out there" : fucking priceless.

[@dennisbooth806]

Dana; i couldn't even watch i stopped at the first product company thats better "Blackhawk" lmao their cobra belt is $35 more and the quality it 100x worse than soe. Do more vids with camden mafia; we all like seeing you on their channels.

[@DanaMcLendon]

I plan to see my Camden famiglia soon.

[@dennisbooth806]

Sounds good! Say hello for me hopefully ill be out in 2015!

[@USNERDOC]

Veri - Please pass on my great appreciation for the "resident physician" annotation and prior shout outs. I am deeply honored and it has brought a huge smile to my face! You always have "a doc on call 24/7" . . . many thanks to both you and Nutn. I've spent many hours unwinding after work watching (and rewatching) TNP vids. You guys rock!

[@Verilioness]

I'm his sister! When Nutn likes something, he'll let you know, you can almost see his tail wagging. Yes, he's enthusiastic! At the SHOT show, like jake says below me, he was like a kid in a candy store. Glad you liked the Blackhawk vid. -- Veri

[@Hydroviper420]

Your annotations were correct, they actually do offer quality that is matched by no one else in the business. Blackhawk makes a ton more gear than SOE, but the gear SOE does make is top notch, hand stitched and tough as nails. And not to mention the second kind of cool factor in their products. I am 100% convinced that you would change your mind about SOE if you got a Cop Rig from them and ran it for a while. You might even want to do a review on it. (hint hint)

[@rokuth]

I used to work at a small dealership & the owner was adamant we treat everyone that walked in with courtesy & respect. If you treat them right, maybe they'll tell 1 or 2 others. If you treat them bad, they WILL tell 10 others. & they will tell 10 others, etc. A good rep is like Kevin Miller from Tapco. He did not bad mouth the competition, but acknowledged them, and then went on to describe the merits of his own products. That's the mark of a true professional.

[@nutnfancy]

"The rep did a really awesome job showing his company's product lines." I agree. And keep this in mind: several companies in the booths would not go on camera for fear on not being able to answer my questions/criticisms or just fear of the camera. It's a lot harder than it looks I think. Big kudos to Terry Naughton because he stepped up with only 2 minutes notice (!) and fielded all my questions without complaint. Thanks.

[@wwgunfighter]

Having owned both brands I can say Special Operations Equipment Gear's Quality and customer service far exceeds that of Black Hawk!

[@scabbynack]

I ripped the shit out of the blackhawk! junk I bought when I first wanted a chest rig. I went through a couple other brands with similar results, blowing out the sides of mag carriers and everything. Finally I found SOE and bought a few things and will never go back. The shit is bombproof. The construction is way nicer than anybody else's. Their belts also don't sag, and I mean at all--other belts I've had sag badly after a few months, that look almost identical.

[@nutnfancy]

He LOVED airsoft and played it for quite a while til his knees gave out. Keep watching these SHOT show vids, he has one coming out that will surprise some people. -- Veri

[@TheTBagg]

Black hawk is an outstanding company you can swear by. The quick disconnect system is an awesome idea. I'll be looking into that. As an Aircrewman I'm enjoy being able to move my gun around from thigh to chest to belt. That eliminates the need to swap holsters. I absolutely love the Serpa holsters. I have 3 of them for my issued M9. Black is a company you can count on. You know it's not going to fail on you or start to sag and stretch a couple months into wearing it everyday.

[@smc5910]

"This will be one of your classics" no doubt about it. You could tell Terry truly believed in his company's product, he is an assist to Blackhawk. This company has their finger of the pulse of the end user and it is refreshing to see that they listen to feedback and incorporate it into their products . Those Serpa holster quick connects could be utilized in a number of cool ways. The UK-SFK was impressive, but then all their knifes rock. Outstanding job - Like Blackhawk even more after the vid.

[@ThreeLineRifle]

One of the best product demonstrations I have ever seen. It is great to be able to see people that know what they are talking about. Blackhawk! is great stuff, good information makes it better.

[@jeepnicc]

Awesome vid Nutn! Yes, I'm cryin', but these are happy tears!! I am so happy to hear that someone as big as Blackhawk is doing the right thing and moving production back home!! Mike Noell is to be commended as a patriot, and role model for other companies to follow. Thank you Mike, and thank you Nutn!! Great products too, btw. I have a TON of Blackhawk gear that has never let me down!!

[@thegangvault2]

WHAT an awesome thing you have going Nutnfancy. It's amazing to behold. Thank you for your tireless service and commitment to TRUTH!

[@USNERDOC]

Nutn - I am just catching up on the remainder of your SHOT Show videos. Lots of work here and made some videos myself. I "saved" your SHOT Show series for my afterwork decompression / relaxation . . . of course you never let us down with great content and "keeping it honest". Great opening by the way. I enjoyed the Blackhawk booth. Looks like I need a catalog and have some research to do ;-) Thanks for the shout out my friend!

[@Dwealdric]

Nutn! Not that you need another salute, but the first two mins of this video really show your character and why we watch these vids. Respect.

[@fokaikid87]

I think this vid shows how much Nutn stands up for what he belives in!! Awesome stuff Nutn!! I apprieciate you taking your spare time to do stuff like this!!

[@highadventure20]

that serpa disconnect system is also great for vehicle mounting, alot of the guys on my team have serpas for their secondary handguns mounted under the steering wheels in our vehicles (high risk security teams) works great if we want to put them on our vests while doing vehicular ops or if we run low profile it's still more accessible than our hip mounted pistols. Just another great option for that system. great vid as usual nutn!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

First couple of minutes listening to the Blackhawk! rep had me in. Sounds like a good company and cool gear. I like the rescue tool in particular.

[@nutnfancy]

Well I know your job and channel keep you so busy, but you always make time for us (and so many others too). That's what make you da man. You're just special like that, and people notice and love you for it. But we love you most. *big grin* -- Veri

[@savannafc]

Proper and knowledgeable representation goes a LONG way. Great job Blackhawk, great job Nutnfancy, excellent video.

[@amaya1000rr]

I had a knox stock on my mossberg 590A1 & it beat the hell out of my cheek. It was difficult to obtain a good cheek well & sight picture. It seamed to direct the recoil force up as the reciever slid up the stock against that first spring. After a dozen shots of 2 3/4" 1 oz slugs, I started to develop a flinch b/c my cheek was bruised. I never had that problem with the original stock so I ended up returning it. I handle the recoil with the original stock just fine & it doesn't hurt my cheek.

[@gsx1138]

Give that man a raise! What a good spokesman for Blackhawk! I love my Serpa and I had no idea they'd changed their backpacks. Now I'm going to have to look at those. Thanks Nutn.

[@GoreTorn16]

Terry Naughton is a amazing salesman. He really knows his stuff! I would love to work for Blackhawk! Great products and high quality accessories for law enforcement, military, and civilian sheepdogs. Excellent!

[@fargley001]

Terry is definitely an asset to Blackhawk. Quality individual who knows the products, and the patience of a saint to boot :D

[@NuketheNazis66]

Thanks Fancy for ALL of the awesome postings you take the time to do. I personally hold your opinions/philosophies in high regard. BLACKHAWK does carry a line of MADE IN THE USA products now but even if they didn't I feel that their gear is top notch quality so I personally will never thumb my nose at them. I still buy there gear & I'm not ashamed to say that. That said, I live near Joint Base Lewis McChord so Tactical Tailor & BladeTech are my go to outfitter but BLACKHAWK too me is still an excellent company w/ great products and excellent customer service.

[@wendt152]

Wow, I wish some of this stuff was out when I was still in the Army. Keep up your great work with Nutnfancy, I'm liking the review style here, well done!

[@uscgalpha91]

I worked at Tactical Tailor and no Blackhawk does not make the best gear. I had alot of cops bring in Blackhawk gear for us to repair in our custom shop.

[@nutnfancy]

Nutn wants you to study! Keep your grades up, be smart!-- Veri

[@airic554]

aw thank the lord. i clicked, and once the vid started i thought you were talking about blackhawk.. but then a fifteen minute interview, thanks!!!

[@luddy2009]

Dude, Blackhawk has some nice stuff, but it's sooooo expensive. I love my SERPA holster for my XD, but I'm really liking that new "quick disconnect" for the inside of the holster. I also like the rep's idea about posting one on the inside of a door frame at home or under the desk at work. As always, great info from a completely non-bias opinion. Thanks Nutnfancy.

[@Mechanic618]

that was a very cool host at their booth. been watching a bunch of your SHOT show vids and all the hosts seem to be top notch.

[@20351MA]

What I look for from TNP is to-the-point advice regarding when comparable products pass from "you get what you pay for" to "bogusly overpriced". Thanks for this.

[@randomtechdude]

I love your vids. You've changed my life for the good. Thank you.

[@gozzy4u]

Before this video was even over I was on the Blackhawk website looking at their gear. My credit card hates you! Keep up the good work.

[@Quarantlne]

Nutnfancy you pack so much information into your videos, I am a huge fan.

[@CPLBSS88]

and this is why i think TNP is the best reviewer around...most any other person, expecialy on youtube, would have bashed the rep and company. great job Nutn! nuthin but respect for your and your crew.

[@grousetales]

Great vid. I'm really enjoying the whole Shot Show series. Good info, and good networking for Nutn. Thanks!

[@AaronAlso]

He is absolutely right about the strobbing lights in room clearance, especially at high lumen outputs with multi-strobes. It is extremely disorienting and provides the breacher with a notable tactical advantage. However, there is a training curve; learning to operate behind the light Research has shown though that the random intervals between multiple strobes has the most effect, I'd like to see a manufacturer develop a tactical strobe for their lights that has random timing.

[@tweilert]

Thanks Nutn. Best interviews on the net. Love it.

[@Tuberriffic]

BLACKHAWK ROCKS! Their SERPAS are Awesome, saw it, tried it, fell in LOVE! just ordered myself the SERPA shoulder holster. Next on the list is the Quick Detach system!

[@TheSepticYank]

Best product rep ever, give the man a raise!

[@jokermann77]

I've always loved blackhawk stuff and sometimes I would notice their price point is a little higher then some. I would always look for the deals (picked up a $170 vest on clearance for thirty some dollars) However, With the way that he spoke of his products and the way that he would get user input, it makes them more appealing! I think spending a little extra for a better product and better customer service is worth it!

[@HamMedBukserne]

So great that your doing this for all of us! THANK YOU!

[@DEDMNKY]

i've been using the quick disconnects for awile and they are outstanding.

[@handcannonjoe4966]

where is the tatang review?

[@nutnfancy]

I am way behind on Nutn's vids and way behind on your's too, Doc, but I will catch up. I loved the "resident physician" annotation..and I'm going to start calling you when we get sick! =) -- Veri

[@leski2010]

Nutnfancy I agree with you most of the time but your wrong about SOE. Best stuff on the market. Best value on the market because it will last your kids lifetime.

[@random-videos]

Thanks NutnFancy for putting power back to consumers! Luv your work!

[@shadowbeats888]

Nutnfancy keeping it real!!!! That's why we love your reviews. Nuff said.

[@Paboozala]

I am looking into getting some nylon and have visited the Blackhawk site online. I am pretty impressed with what they carry, and now I don't know if I want one of their MOLLE vests or a crossdraw vest.

[@krazy45cat]

just bought my first 3 serpas and the quick mount and mag holders . Thanks for the review .

[@CampfireTalk]

What a host, Terry from Blackhawk has gotten me excited about this company.

[@zionburner]

20:27 : "UH HUUUUUUUUH!! hahaha Nutnfancy is completely crazy! Thats why nobody can be like him. Imitated but never equalized, Nutnfancy freakin rocks! Great video as always. Keep up the greatwork! Greetings from Chile.

[@rightsman123]

Wow, I've never been excited about blackhawk products until this video. I will look for more from them.

[@Ryuurik]

Whoo! Again a great video nutnfancy, seems like every single time you put out a new video the quality keeps getting better and better. Now i'm not sure if you like the idea, but i could seriously donate some nice backup money to the nutnfancy project. Anyways, back to the video. What i really liked was the 10/22 and that SFK-knife. Those looked pretty badass and i think i could someday have a shot at them. Blackhawk might be juuust a bit arrogant, but oh well. They have earned the right to be.

[@luddy2009]

I love Black Hawk gear. I have few of their knives, but my favorite item is the SERPA Holster that I got from them. It is definitely sweet.

[@Wolf-427]

I've used Blackhawk for a number of years... Good stuff.

[@Stargazer88]

another great video from SHOT show! your are truly spoiling us.

[@newcoyote]

I got some Blackhawk Warrior wear tact pants recently for very cheap.$40 CAD I think. They are in my opinion very high value. Well designed, durable and comfortable to wear for a 12 hr shift. Love em. Got them before I saw this vid BTW.

[@C172Pilotdude]

I am looking forward to the Knoxx stock review. I want to get that for my 870. As far as the problem with resting your check on the stock ( which def looks uncomfortable ) I plan on buying the stock and the cheek piece/side saddle set up for the weapon. At that point though, the stock and cheek/side saddle piece will run around $180-200.00 range. A little pricey but probably worth it. So far have heard god things about the system. As usual, great work nutnfancy! Would love to shootin one day!!

[@SnuggyJr]

dude! blackhawk's a great company and just a few miles from my house! love their stuff!

[@Saalicious]

It's not only about quality, it's also about supporting your fellow countrymen (and women) these days to get through this financial crisis!

[@icychap]

I have the Spec Ops shotgun stock and LOVE it. I have found no increase in muzzle rise due to the new stock over the original. Nutn, let the guy speak!

[@Mojorizen1962]

Absolutely impressed with Terry and Blackhawk ...thanks for the info nutnfancy..another good and informative vid !

[@MrSharpe95]

great video nutn Terry was great value and done a good job of showing the good side of blackhawk!!!! superb quality gear aswell!!!! keep up the good work

[@Yebache]

Awesome vid. The Blackhawk spokesman definitely knew his product line! Nice job Nutn!

[@ChromeFreak123]

This is where I lag behind, I need a good carry system. All I have is old surplus outdated stuff. Great vid. 5/5

[@af22raptor23503]

I have 2 Serpas one for my Glock G22 and the other for my SA 1911s and they both Rock! The only thing I wish is that Blackhawk would offer the GLock Multi function belt loop, its a Great Addtion to the Serpa it makes it have an FBI cant on it and it distributes the weight across a wider section of the belt a most have to all Glock Serpa owners.

[@excxflyr]

Terry was outstanding!! he needs a raise!! I was hoping you guys were going to talk about the Knox Compstock VS the Spec ops. Bummed

[@Lazerrus]

WOW! I want that UK-SFK for my drop leg plat! Blackhawk rules and so does Nutnfancy!

[@LtPliers]

Nutn, have you ever tried any of the safariland style holsters? They more recently came out with ALS similar in locking system to a serpa holster (not exact as it locks into the ejection port) and of course their SLS style system. Would love to see you talk about that vs the serpa as I've heard that if you get small rocks or other debris in the locking system of the serpa that it essentially locks you out of being able to use your pistol.

[@Leukron]

I love how honest you are nutn. Forget that other company! nice vid on blackhawk. TNP all the way!

[@K1RKH4MM3T]

I liked my Blackhawk serpa but want really ever a big fan of the company of itself. but this vid changed that. The rep did a really awesome job showing his company's product lines.

[@chrishaslam131]

wow i love the products Black Hawk has, also the salesman was a really great salesman I'm really interested in BlackHawk now.

[@Xc31]

@NashBen thanks! we cant even airsoft here in Holland, so im comming to visit soon!

[@rokuth]

Like u said, it does come down to the company's QA, their personal philosophy, & ethics that determines the end quality of their product. There are companies that come to the US because they know that it will pay off in the end. They maintain their quality, etc, as they would in their home country, but with American labor, and parts. We are getting closer to a World economy, so sometimes when you buy American, some foreign company is still getting paid, and vice versa.

[@Nygle123]

Nut'n, your vids just get better and better

[@Konban9vikar]

Yes, please do a review on the Crucible II. I really like that knife. I think the Hawkhook is an awsome tool. I may have to pick one of those up. You and Terry have sold me on their gear. Thank You!

[@brandonhaley3583]

new subscriber here! i just want to say I fuckin love TNP, the pros and cons you offer as well as the honesty on not only your gear reviews, but also your standpoints on current situations in america are second to none... keep on, lead the way, and thank you

[@murph1911]

Cool was hopping u went to this booth I LOVE BlackHawk I'm gong to get that quick dicconect thing for the serpa too cool thanks man.

[@kdak247]

GREAT representation of your product terry! Im an even bigger fan of blackhawk now!

[@parham6540]

I had the same issue with OSOE I was a 3p051a in the USAF and wanted to know if he made an older vest type and if no if I could pay extra to have it made. When he found out I was only a 3p051a I got the same responce. Then he stopped responding to my emails..... I went with LBT and SoTech instead.

[@tmax1014]

wow, ive seen their nylon but i am really impressed with their blades and the serpa system is awe some

[@oldmanwells710]

2:32 "made in vietnam" on tag...priceless

[@CStreetButcher]

Oldman Wells Where is that computer or clothing on your back from sport?

[@CStreetButcher]

Terrible. =)

[@gragrn]

Another great video Nutn and Terry was a superb presenter. I want to run out and buy a heap of Blackhawk gear now.

[@holybrolydood]

Another awesome vid. Love Blackhawk!'s gear. Looking to get that QD gear soon. Thanks for all the hardwork Nutn!

[@bigbluemsp]

I LOVE BLACKHAWK! I wear a Serpa 3 on my P226 duty gun. I love it, and some of the guys at the department are thinking about going to it. I'm 4 times faster from the holster to the target then they are with their level 2 and 3 holsters.

[@rolbyu]

Awesome company and awesome products! I am using the Knoxx stock for my 870 and serpa 3 holster for my glock.

[@chuckley54494]

Ahhh sorry. Nutn i like both you and soe gear. Sad to hear you dont like them.

[@mukatsukuful]

I agree with you man, Spyderco has to be the fav booth so far, but I'm looking forward to the benchmade booth he will upload soon. I'm sure that will be another awesome vid.

[@wreams1]

I don't own any Blackhawk gear but I gotta get some now, seems like a great company. Great vid Nutn, keep it up!!!!!

[@jaddra1]

@MonnCoant yeah, mine was so so sharp, but i guess your is the "original" Mark II with the 154CM and made in USA. The one I got carry the AUS 8A steel and made in Taiwan (new batch 2010 version and if not mistaken they call it "Mark II E"... and I believe yours is a little better :)

[@genebuchholz7729]

hey Nutnfancy i hope to see a table top review of the blackhawk tatang if possible i seen you using one on the high sky's video and was just really curious on your over all opinion thank you

[@ajsharkmaniac07]

im feelin you on that. nutnfancy is a pretty chill guy, personally if a company wants to put there foot in there mouth let them. its the only way to teach them.

[@codyrawks]

I listened to the "Cowboys in Montana" line about 5 times, it cracked me up. Great vid.

[@PatriotsNFL1]

YES! I Can't wait for the tactical .22LR reviews. I know nutn will love the S&W M&P 15-22, great great gun....

[@rokuth]

Nutnfancy, Terry was a great host. He really knew his stuff. There is a myth about the "Made in USA" labeling. Ya, it may have been 'assembled' in the US, but where were the parts & materials sourced from? Biggest example is the Auto Industry. a lot of the Japanese cars are made in the US. If you go and look on the windshield of a new car, it will state where the parts are sourced from. That's why you can sometimes find the same parts on imports as well as domestic autos.

[@PoltergeistWorks]

Another great VID ! Thanks! Could You tell me (if You know) what is that jacket/softshell Your friend is wearing around 28:40 in the vid ?
