Diamondback Tactical: Where did they go?

[norbis]

Anybody know what happened to DBT? Their website is linked to another one with little content, also there is an unusual amount of their product on ebay. I hope they will be back soon, I really liked their kit and customer service.

good question I check every week or so. I sent them an email before the site went down and the girl said they were just making upgraded that was a month ago. But who knows

They have restructured since acquiring First Choice armor in 2010. They're going to concentrate on armor production instead of distribution apparently but it'll probably be a while before the new site is up while they're integrating with First Choice. I doubt they'll go away.

Hopefully they keep their nylon line up, its my go to place if I need an X product for a Y piece of gear.
That was too much algebra.

The guy who owned them sold it and started Tyr Tactical.

A ton of their nylon gear has been wholesaled on eBay, probably more of it waiting to see the same, unless some distributor has snapped it up.

I really do miss their tac nylon (stuff like the MOLLE H-links, ALS MOLLE adaptor, and I still have tons of random pouches).

I figure profit margins have to be much better on the armor side of the house, since they were closing out the tactical nylon on a pretty frequent basis, and like the rest of the industry got hosed by zero demand for ACU/ABU

Serious? That's pretty cool to know.

A gun show I went to not all that long ago had a vendor with wads of DBT gear in ACU. I was wondering what the deal was. Now I know.

I got a bunch of extra pouches off eBay. Paid between $6 and $12 for them. All new with tags. Not a bad deal. You can always use a few extra mag and GP pouches. The selection is getting thin now. Mostly ACU and ABU, I guess the Airsofters don't even like that crap now. :jester:

[soldiersystems]

I don't expect to see them in the nylon game. They are bing real coy about it but essentially, all DBT is at this point is First Choice with a new name. Everything that was DBT is gone except the name.

Damn, I really wanted to get some of there shoulder armor. Given that you must have shoulder straps, the might as well be armored.

[soldiersystems]

Armor, on the other hand, you might be able to get. Take a look at their website.
