Since I posted it last Saturday, some of you guys may have missed the fact that Hodge Defense Systems officially launched a week ago. Over the past few years I had heard Hodgie’s name from a lot of guys that I respect and when I found out he had finally launched his own Black Rifle company, I knew that I needed to pass the word. While Jim Hodge is a guy you may have never heard of, he is very well known in select circles for building some outstanding guns and he is one of those mystery guys that big gun companies have on speed dial.
Trust me, you are going to see some great things coming from Hodge Defense Systems.

This is awesome news. Take my credit card now
Our sincere congrats to Jim! For those who do really get it I think we are all excited to see this old school industry gangster going main stream. Jim and I crossed paths in Afghanistan he is a man of many talents but his forte is the black rifle. I am very excited to see him bring his quality workmanship to the table. To those who don’t get it, do yourself a favor and pay close attention to Hodge Defense because he is no doubt going to make some waves as well as some absolutely bad ass rifles!! The site is fucking awesome, can’t wait to see more Jim!!
I hear that the Mod 2 may come with a navy blazer?
@Kramerica – I’m thinking more ’50s plaid sportcoats and elbow-patch tweeds than a blue blazer, but it’s all in the same family. Good to see Hoji finally peeking out from behind the curtain by going public with these!
