In this hilarious and insightful episode of the Big Tex Ordnance podcast, Chris and Ike sit down with Kurt, Jesse, and Stephen from Blue Alpha Gear at SHOT Show 2024. The Blue Alpha guys discuss the origins of their company, which started with a used sewing machine bought off eBay in 2016. Though now known primarily for their exceptional belts and gear, Blue Alpha initially experimented with making holsters before finding their niche.

A common theme throughout is Blue Alpha's focus on top-notch customer service and adaptable, innovative products to stand out in the firearms accessories market. They share funny behind-the-scenes stories about some of their viral social media content over wild ideas that became beloved products, like their popular thigh straps that originated from dog collars. The conversation spans a wide range from precision .22 rifles to tips on hosting private firearms courses to the perils of the English language, sparked by Stephen's realization that Kurt hilariously mispronounces "bagel."

With plenty of laughs all around about life in the gun industry and operating a successful small business, it's clear Kurt, Jesse, and Stephen's passion for what they do translates seamlessly from Blue Alpha's wares to its ways.
