Are your products “Made in the USA”?

To make our products, we source everything we can from suppliers in the United States. Our raw materials (Plastics, Fasteners, etc…) are all “Made in the USA” as are most of our components. Where there is an exception to this we call it out; like our current belt attachment system based on the Tek-Lok® platform which currently is made in China.

Is it strong?

3D printed parts act a lot like wood. In some directions it’s very strong, it other directions not so much. The goal of the craftsman is to exploit the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. We work closely with our manufacturing partner, to ensure our parts are very strong. We are so confident in our designs, that if they ever fail for any reason we will fix it or replace it for free (see our warranty for full details).

What are the lines?

The lines you see on some of our products are called “layer lines”. They are like the grain in wood. Some people don’t like the look. Some people also don’t like the look of wood. For those people we suggest paint! Personally we kind of like them.

Which Mag Slide material do I want?

Retention is controlled by the friction of the Mag Slide and the Powerful Neodymium Magnets holding your magazine to it. We offer Mag Slides in two materials Delrin (Acetal) and Teflon (TPFE).

Delrin or Acetal is often called the “Plastic Aluminum”. Delrin wears better than Teflon. Look to Delrin if you plan to practice stowing magazines like a fanatic. You are going practice aren’t you!?

Teflon or TPFE is super slick, but it’s also super soft. Many feel Teflon gives them the fastest, smoothest draw, but it’s also got a shorter lifespan and will need to be replaced from time to time.

Why so many options!?

Choice! It’s one of the main reasons we decided to make our products using Digital Manufacturing processes; so we could offer more options in color, fit and function than we ever could with traditional manufacturing like injection molding.

What is Digital Manufacturing anyway?

Engineers use 3D modeling software to design products for their intended applications.

Simulation provides engineers with tools for fast analysis to see how changes to a product can affect the performance.

There are many different tooling processes that digital manufacturing utilizes. However, every digital manufacturing process involves the use of computerized numerical controlled machines (CNC). This technology is crucial in digital manufacturing as it not only enables mass production and flexibility, but it also provides a link between a 3D model and production.
