About Us

Holster Shop:

ProTEQ Custom Gear was founded in February 2013 when owner Stephen Brannan saw a need for more quality products and service in the high-demand defense market. Stephen has served as both a design, test, and production support engineer for Knight's Armament Company for 5 years and for FN for 5 years, and is now continuing to do so as a privately contracted engineer for multiple companies in the industry.  So in 2013 with nearly a lifetime background in firearms training paired with his experience in the industry and the best mechanical engineering degree he could find from Rose Hulman (BSME, 2009), Stephen decided to dive into the market.  The goal of ProTEQ Custom Gear is not just to create another business to meet market demand, but to use a God-given vision to provide products, training, and consultation that may help save lives. Now with a dedicated staff and product development team testing and evaluating new products in the background, ProTEQ Custom Gear is helping bring that vision to life.  The shop was originally started in the garage of a rental house in Florida, then moved to a 10x12 shed in South Carolina, then moved to a portion of the office at ProTEQ, then finally to its current 1,500 square foot brand new facility at ProTEQ.  Below are some photos of Stephen's time at FN, along with a photo of the shop in SC.  We'll add more in the future.
