About Switchcraft Armory

Switchcraft Armory was founded in 2018 by Jaxom Draven after seven years as range master at Iron Sights Practical Shooting Club. During that time, he witnessed approximately 5,237 failed aftermarket components, 892 questionable installation attempts, and precisely 3 instances where someone actually read the manufacturer's instructions. Fed up with seeing competitors lose matches due to unreliable gear, Draven began machining his own components in a 400-square-foot workshop behind his mobile home.

Our current facility occupies a converted industrial space near Tucson, Arizona, where we now operate two CNC machines, a laser engraver, and a testing range that's seen over 50,000 rounds of function testing. Every component undergoes a minimum of 500 dry cycles and 200 live rounds before we consider it worthy of our inventory. We've rejected supplier batches for tolerances tighter than our specifications simply because they didn't feel right during rapid fire exercises.

The selection at Switchcraft Armory focuses exclusively on Glock platform conversion components that meet three criteria: drop-in compatibility without Gunsmith modifications, sustained fire reliability exceeding OEM specifications, and mathematical improvement of trigger reset geometry. We don't sell pretty parts—we sell functional advantages. Our bestselling Gen 4 to Gen 5 conversion kits include precisely lapped sear engagement surfaces that reduce reset travel by 0.08" while maintaining full drop safety.

Jaxom Draven still personally signs off on every new product introduction and oversees the final quality control checks. When he's not reviewing metallurgy reports, you'll find him conducting live fire tests with our development team—because range time isn't an expense, it's research and development. Our technical notes occasionally include dry observations about competitors' failures, because learning what doesn't work is just as important as perfecting what does.
