Veteran-founded firearms manufacturer Watchtower Firearms has announced a major transition following the approval of a sale transaction by the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. Under the agreement, Watchtower Defense and its owners have acquired substantially all the assets of Watchtower Firearms, marking the beginning of a new era for the company and its employees.

The transaction provides stability and growth opportunities for staff as operations shift from Watchtower Firearms to Watchtower Defense. During the short transition period, both companies are cooperating under a transition services agreement to ensure continuity of production and uninterrupted fulfilment of customer orders.

With new ownership, fresh capital and expanded manufacturing capabilities, Watchtower Defense plans to extend its reach into the defence and law enforcement sectors. The company is investing in a new 24,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art production facility equipped with modern machinery and tooling. This facility will enhance product quality and operational efficiency while strengthening the company’s long-term competitiveness.

While Watchtower Firearms earned recognition for its handmade 2011-style pistols, Watchtower Defense will introduce a new line of duty-focused firearms designed specifically for military, law enforcement and defence customers. The company aims to broaden its brand presence while maintaining its founding principles of being USA-made, veteran-owned and backed by a lifetime warranty.

For dealers and distributors, Watchtower Defense has emphasised its commitment to reliability and partnership. The company will retain consistent sales and customer service teams, dedicated leadership and capital investment to ensure stability and trust for its future network.

Through the court-approved purchase and transition agreement, Watchtower Defense has positioned itself to deliver innovative firearms across commercial, defence and law enforcement markets, with a long-term vision to become a leading American manufacturer.
