Phase 5 began after Ken, our founder designed and built a firearm component in his garage workshop. He showed the piece to a local shopkeeper, who said, “This is great. How many of them can you make for me?” And just like that, we were in business.

Ironically, that first component wasn’t built to start a business, or even to make money. It was built to solve a specific problem. And from that day on, everything Phase 5 has made and everything we’ve done has been for the same reason: to solve problems and help people, especially the people who protect and defend us.
