In this episode of the Tricer Podcast, host Drew Miles talks with Brandon and Seth from Shield Arms, a Montana-based company redefining firearm innovation. What began in 2017 inside a barn has grown into a powerhouse brand known for designing products shooters and hunters actually want—no focus groups, just firsthand experience driving design. Brandon and Seth share the story behind Shield Arms' rise, from the game-changing S15 magazine—which fits 15 rounds in a Glock 43X or 48 without altering the footprint—to their expansion into folding AR-15 lowers and an all-new modular pistol system that blends the best of Glock and SIG platforms. The conversation dives into their in-house engineering process, open-source approach to parts, and their commitment to collaborating with other top brands in the industry.
