FMK Firearms

About FMK Firearms

FMK Firearms was founded in 2006 by Jim Pontillo, an engineer who previously established TRA Medical, a precision plastic injection molding company.

The company name stands for "For My Kountry" and was created with the dual mission of providing high-quality firearms at competitive prices while encouraging Americans to embrace constitutional principles.

Jim Pontillo leveraged his extensive experience in precision polymer manufacturing to develop striker-fired pistols when his medical molding workload decreased and firearms demand increased.

FMK achieved a significant milestone by becoming one of only two new handgun manufacturers approved by the California Department of Justice for manufacture and sale within the state.

Today, the Placentia, California-based company remains committed to producing 100% American-made firearms that combine patriotic values with affordable pricing.
