Vigilant Gear Holdings has completed the acquisition of Primary Weapons Systems Inc., official as of March 21, 2022. Vigilant Gear Holdings, based out of Georgia, is not a new contender in the firearms industry. In 2019, Vigilant Gear also purchased Lone Wolf Distributors, now Lone Wolf Arms, located in Priest River, ID. While both Primary Weapons Systems and Lone Wolf Arms are in Idaho, they will be run independently as separate entities.
Primary Weapons Systems, the largest firearms manufacturer in the state of Idaho, has been headquartered in Boise, Idaho since its start in 2008. Dean Sylvester, Founder of PWS says, “I am very happy with the acquisition. The values of PWS have always been innovation, quality and customer service. These values will continue to define PWS as it grows, and I feel confident that Vigilant Gear Holdings will only grow these values and expand the reach of the PWS brand.”
In preparation of the acquisition, Vigilant Gear Holdings has invested capital into the business with the purchase of a titanium and stainless-steel 3D printer as well as a barrel blank manufacturing cell, furthering the ability of PWS to manufacture more than 90% of components in-house.
CEO, Nate Treadaway, stated, “PWS is known as an evolutionary design and manufacturing company. Our goal is to continue pushing the envelope, while keeping the core values of the organization. We have a variety of innovative new products releasing throughout 2022, and we are excited to branch out to different sectors in the firearms market.”
