A History of Excellence Legacy. Tradition. Excellence. To some, these may be mere words, remnants of a time when companies embraced their history and delivered on their promises. But, at The Safariland Group we live those values every day. We live them when we empower over a thousand people to design, engineer, research and deliver our protective equipment products to those that protect us. We live them as we continuously seek new innovations to add to the premier group of Safariland brands that have been protecting law enforcement, military and security professionals for over 50 years. We live them when we help save lives. Our Safariland Saves Club® has chronicled over 2,034 individuals whose lives have been saved in part through using our products. We're proud of who we are and what we do. The Safariland Group's rich heritage didn't become what it is today simply from assimilating many protective product brands into one organization. Our Company has grown from our collective pledge to achieve excellence and our commitment to focus on the customer first. It is a common thread that binds us together on our journey. It has gotten us to where we are today. From one brand's small-town beginnings to another born from the love of a son to his father - this is OUR Company. This is The Safariland Group. And Together, We Save Lives™.

Both country kids from Missouri, Larry and Brenda Potterfield turned their passion for shooting sports into a career by opening a small gun shop in 1977 that would eventually become MidwayUSA. They instilled family values like honesty, integrity and respect for others into the business, and strive to maintain this culture with each Employee added to their growing team. Since 1977, MidwayUSA has maintained an unyielding focus on Customer Satisfaction and continues to offer JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING® for Shooting, Hunting and the Outdoors. A proponent of the use of Modern Management Practices in business management, MidwayUSA received the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2009, 2015, and 2021, and is one of only two organizations to earn the award three times since the first award cycle in 1988. MidwayUSA was also a recipient of the Missouri Quality Award from the Excellence in Missouri Foundation in 2015, an award also received in 2008. MidwayUSA has deployed both Lean and Six Sigma practices internally and has received ISO Registration, receiving ISO 9001:2000 in 2008 and 9001:2008 in 2009, 2011 and 2014.
