***Matrix Arms Announces Strategic Equity Sale to Industry Insiders***
FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE: July 11, 2025 - Claremont, NH -
Matrix Arms, a fast-growing American fi****ms manufacturer, has announced the sale of a minority equity stake to long-time industry partners Zak Prevost and Allen Gearhart. While the exact terms of the deal have not been publicly disclosed, the sale took place on or around July 4th, 2025.
“This partnership is a natural next step in the evolution of our companies” said Allen Farris, majority owner and CEO of Matrix Arms. “I feel there is no better partners we could have found, and the values and integrity Allen and Zak bring align perfectly with the values of our own. They’ve believed in our products for years, and now they’re investing in our future. Their expertise, work ethic, and passion for the industry will significantly enhance the speed and scale with which we grow, and launch new products, without changing the mission and values that define us. We are excited for what the future holds and are eager to continue fighting for Liberty, honoring God, and making the best pistols in the world. We have had a hard time keeping up with demand over the last year, and this partnership is exactly what the brand needed to successfully transition into this next level of business”
Gearhart and Prevost each bring over a decade of firearm industry experience and have been loyal customers and collaborators of Matrix Arms for nearly 10 years. Their addition to the ownership team marks a strategic move to expand the company’s capabilities and operations, as well as to help position the brand for long-term success.
Zak Prevost holds a Master’s in Civil Engineering from the University of Mississippi, while Allen Gearhart earned his engineering degree from Mississippi State University. Their technical backgrounds, combined with years of hands-on industry insight, make them uniquely qualified to help lead Matrix Arms into its next phase of development. Prevost and Gearhart, already business partners for over 10 years have successfully operated Midstate Fi****ms an online fi****ms retailer since early 2014.
Matrix Arms will continue to operate as a privately owned business under Farris’ majority control, with no changes to its leadership philosophy or commitment to delivering innovative American-made fi****ms. “This partnership reinforces the company’s momentum and lays the foundation for expanded opportunities. We have many more exciting announcements coming in the next couple of months, including new product releases, new hires, the launching of our largest retailer to date, and even the grand opening of our showroom and retail storefront in Claremont, New Hampshire” said Farris.
