Founder · Elite Weaponry LLC
Built by Someone Who Actually Knows Firearms
Ernest didn't stumble into the firearms industry. He was raised in it. He started hunting with his father at 7 years old — and that love never left him.
He went on to own and operate a firearms manufacturing facility where his team built AR-15s, 1911s, and AR-style rifles from the ground up. He knows these products inside and out — not from a catalog, but from his own hands.
After stepping away from the industry for a couple of years, he went shopping — and was immediately reminded of exactly what was wrong. Bad prices. Worse service. So in 2021, he launched Elite Weaponry to be the store he always wished existed.
"There's a problem, I know how to fix it, and I enjoy it. That's why Elite Weaponry was born."
