An easy modification on a Blackhawk Tactical Handbag for a friend
A friend was telling us how the wife wasn’t really happy with the straps on the Blackhawk Tactical Handbag he gave her as a gift. Turns out that the attachment point for the shoulder strap was rather too close together. This creates like a ‘choking’ effect when used. It was just uncomfortable for her. Easy fix!
At Garrison Packs, we enjoy doing any sort of modifications and repairs for gears, especially nylon gear (within our ability of course). This Blackhawk Tactical Handbag needs a new attachment point and this is something rather easy to do for us. Having said that, it is not just a repair or modification. It is meeting our customer’s need and in this case, probably saved the bag from being thrown away.
With mil-spec materials salvaged from retired army surplus, we got the modification done under 30 minutes
We used mil-spec parts most of the time- in this case, the thread used is mil-spec.
Overall, the Blackhawk Tactical Handbag is not a bad piece of kit. Many claim that the quality has dipped since they shifted their production house to Vietnam (originally in the USA).
