NORFOLK, Va. - November 19, 2014 - The BLACKHAWK!® line of holsters was recently named the 2014 “Holster Brand of the Year” as part of the annual OpticsPlanet Brilliance Awards. This is the fourth consecutive year that the BLACKHAWK! brand has received the award for “Holster Brand of the Year.” The BLACKHAWK! Omega Elite™ Cross Draw/Pistol Mag Vest was also awarded the Experts Pick for “Best Tactical Vest.”

The OpticsPlanet Brilliance Awards recognize outstanding products and brands that show exceptional quality, innovative design and dependability. Customers and product experts sort through tens of thousands of goods to choose the best product for each category. These awards serve as a seal of approval for consumers searching for products approved and trusted by their peers.

“OpticsPlanet launched the Brilliance Awards in 2008 to provide our customers with a clear set of benchmarks on which to judge the thousands of brands we carry,” said Kelly Bertog, OpticsPlanet marketing communications manager. “With their relentless pursuit of making gear the right way, it is no surprise that BLACKHAWK! has once again taken home multiple Brilliance Awards honors. The brand’s commitment to quality, innovation and, most importantly, the customers they serve make these awards very well earned.”
