SWANSBORO, NC – High Speed Gear® Products Group (HSG), is actively looking to partner with founders of tactical product companies to continue building their high-quality family of brands. Since the company’s founding in 1999, HSG has remained steadfast in their mission: to provide gear that performs when it matters most - because those who protect and serve deserve nothing less. For 25 years, HSG has stood as a pillar of quality, performance, and innovation.

From the iconic TACO® pouches to a full line of battle-proven gear, every product in the High Speed Gear® Products Group is built with precision, pride, and purpose - right here in the USA. With manufacturing operations based in North Carolina and a newly expanded state-of-the-art operation in Georgia, HSG’s commitment to quality craftsmanship, rapid innovation, and American jobs remains stronger than ever. “For 25 years, our gear has earned the confidence of Marines, soldiers, SWAT operators, patrol officers, and competitive shooters,” said Allison Mitchum, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at High Speed Gear. “That trust isn’t given lightly, it’s earned through relentless attention to detail, proven performance in the field, and a commitment to building gear that professionals can count on every time, without compromise.”

High Speed Gear® made its first acquisition in 2018 when it partnered with Comp-Tac® Holsters, the industry’s premier brand for competitive shooting holsters. Known for precision, speed and reliability, Comp-Tac has long been the top choice among champions and serious competitors, making it the perfect addition to HSG’s mission of delivery performance-driven gear. In 2023, High Speed Gear expanded its holster capabilities by acquiring BlackPoint Tactical and Crucial Concealment, two brands that exemplify innovation, precision, and mission-driven performance. BlackPoint Tactical is known for its custom, hand-crafted holsters built to balance comfort and concealment, with designs shaped by decades of U.S. Special Operations experience. Trusted by local, state, and federal agencies, including elite Special Operations units, BlackPoint holsters are proven in the most demanding combat environments. Crucial Concealment, founded by the same team, leverages cutting-edge automation, 3D scanning, and advanced manufacturing techniques to produce streamlined, high-quality holsters and accessories with virtually no lead time. Their ability to offer premium performance at a value price point has made them a go-to choice for everyday carry. Together, these brands expand HSG’s reach in the holster market with both tactical-grade and cost-effective concealment solutions.

“Acquisitions have been a valuable strategy for building additional product capabilities with companies that share our values for quality, performance, and innovation and a passion for serving those who serve us”, said Matt Gadams, HSG’s Chief Strategy Officer. Kip Guyon, HSG’s President added, “2023 and 2024 were focused on building our infrastructure, improving operations, and reducing customer lead times, so we are ready to partner with other like-minded companies to continue our growth trajectory.”

HSG is actively seeking tactical gear and product companies based in the United States and around the world. The company has interest in nylon, injection molded, and KYDEX® based products companies with enhanced interest in other advanced materials. Product category interest is broad including pouches, belts, slings, plate carriers, holsters, gloves, tactical apparel, etc. with a particular interest in medical tactical and emergency response gear. “Size is not a critical factor; our focus is on quality and innovation. The more innovative the better”, said Matt Gadams.

The High Speed Gear Products Group includes four respected brands - High Speed Gear®, Comp-Tac®, BlackPoint Tactical®, and Crucial Concealment® - each united under the shared commitment to serve those who serve others. Whether it’s military, law enforcement, or everyday citizens exercising their rights, our gear is engineered with real-world input and battle-tested under real-world conditions.
