RISE Armament

About RISE Armament

RISE Armament emerged from RISE Manufacturing, which Matt Torres founded in 2012 to serve aerospace, defense, and oil & gas industries.

When the oil market crashed, Torres pivoted from contract manufacturing to developing firearms products, officially launching the RISE Armament brand in 2013.

The company revolutionized the aftermarket trigger industry in 2014 with their RA-535 Advanced Performance Trigger, nicknamed "The Ferrari of Triggers" for its fastest-in-market reset speed.

RISE Armament earned recognition as OpticsPlanet's "Breakthrough Brand of the Year" in 2018 and continues to manufacture all products to aerospace industry standards from their 55,000+ square foot facility in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

Today, the veteran-owned company maintains ITAR registration and AS9100 Rev. C certification while providing TIER 1 products to law enforcement, military, and civilian markets nationwide.
