Exclusive: Black Rain Ordnance .458 SOCOM Pistols
Black Rain Ordnance (BRO) is a precision firearm manufacturer specializing in modern sporting rifle design. Founded in 2009, their goal is to design, build and assemble a weapon they would personally want to own and operate. They mill, drill, cut, shape, polish, and assemble each gun by hand, ensuring proper fit, function and feel of the highest quality possible.
BRO uses only the highest quality material available so they can produce the highest quality products. Others can build it cheaper and faster, but it doesn’t equate with better — not by a long shot.

.458 SOCOM Cartridge
Marty ter Weeme of Teppo Jutsu designed the .458 SOCOM in 2000, and Tony Rumore of Tromix was contracted to build the first .458 SOCOM rifle in February 2001 for the AR-15/M4 platform after Special Operations personnel discussed the need for a caliber where multiple shots weren’t necessary to neutralize adversaries. The .458 SOCOM propels a 300-gr. bullet at 1,900 fps. (SOCOM is the acronym for Special Operations COMmand.)
