Optimus Arms, a Division of Point One USA, Acquires HEXMAG

Thursday, January 4th, 2024

The newly formed HEXMAG USA, LLC will produce and market HEXMAG brand products and SENTRY Solutions products to commercial, law enforcement, and military markets.

Virginia Beach, VA. and Boise, Idaho (January 2024) – Optimus Arms (OA) acquires Hexmag and Sentry Solutions from SENTRY Products Group forming HEXMAG USA, LLC. The new entity will manufacture and sell the entire line of HEXMAG brand products, including the Sentry Solutions dry lubricants which are well-established in the firearms and knife industries.

“We have had a relationship with Point One for several years supplying sewn goods, and have seen their expansion with Optimus Arms USA,” said Terry Naughton, president of SENTRY Products Group. “They have excellent reach across a much broader audience globally, including military, law enforcement, and other government agencies, and I believe establishing HEXMAG USA in this structure will provide the resources and relationships necessary to help grow the HEXMAG product lines within the shooting, hunting, and outdoor sporting segments.”

Point One USA is a defense contractor that has built a stand-out company within the special operations and law enforcement communities. They offer advanced training and extensive product lines to a growing list of government and defense agencies and have recently started a new commercial line of products through their commercial division called Optimus Arms (OA). OA provides custom weapons for private and government customers as well as an entire line of firearms accessories, including optics.

“This partnership is an opportunity for Point One and one of our commercial divisions to expand the HEXMAG brand within the commercial firearms industry, as well as expand our ability to provide the best possible products, training, and equipment to the warfighter and law enforcement personnel who put their lives on the line daily to protect Americans and keep America safe! We will continue to grow the HEXMAG product line and ensure the finest quality materials and workmanship persist across the HEXMAG brands, just as we have for Point One and OA over the past decade. Point One and OA could not be prouder to welcome HEXMAG into our family of products, equipment, and services,” said Bob Brush, Founder/CEO of Point One and President of OA.

HEXMAG produces a full line of specialized magazines and grips for use in a variety of firearm platforms using a proprietary advanced composite (POLYHEX2) and an advanced carbon fiber polymer. The HEXMAG brand is well known across the firearm industry as a top-of-the-line performer that stands up to the toughest environments. Also, under the HEXMAG brand will come the entire cleaning and lubrication line of products called SENTRY Solutions. These products are the industry leader for dry lubrication and cleaning to protect mechanical assemblies and ensure reliability when it matters most.

HEXMAG plans to continue fulfilling orders without interruption as they transition the manufacturing and warehouse operations from Boise, Idaho to Virginia Beach, Virginia. They anticipate completion of the transition by the end of the 1st quarter of 2024. You can visit HEXMAG.com for more information and any updates about the transition and new products coming soon.

SIG SAUER to Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the P226 in 2024

Thursday, January 4th, 2024

NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 4, 2024) – SIG SAUER is pleased to announce the commencement of the yearlong 40th Anniversary celebration of the iconic P226 pistol.

“With a legacy of accuracy and reliability, and millions upon millions of rounds of proven performance, the P226 has earned its reputation as the premiere service pistol, and is the standard by which all other combat pistols are measured,” began Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, SIG SAUER, inc.  “To celebrate the rich military and law enforcement history of the P226, we will commemorate the 40th Anniversary with a special edition pistol and release a historical video series detailing the development and service of the P226.  We will also have an official declaration of February 26, 2024 as P226 Day, as well as programs and promotions throughout 2024.”

SIG SAUER developed the P226 to compete in the U.S. Military’s XM9 service pistol trials. Even though it was not ultimately selected, the performance and capability of the P226 captured the attention of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs. They would officially adopt the P226 in 1989 to become the MK25, and it would serve throughout the Global War on Terrorism as their official service pistol. The selection by the SEALs marks the beginning of a rich history between SIG SAUER and the U.S. military and the P226 became the cornerstone of several future successful partnerships to include the M17, M18, and the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program.  Today, the legendary P226 has seen decades of refinements and is highly regarded for its enduring quality, superior reliability and accuracy amongst law enforcement professionals, military units, collectors, and shooting enthusiasts.
