About GunZee

GunZee was founded on a simple belief: defensive firearms training should reflect real-world encounters. Real defensive situations are fast, complex, and unpredictable, and training tools should prepare shooters for those realities.

GunZee originally launched when founder Mark Buff designed a memory foam holster pad to solve his own concealed carry comfort challenges. After strong support from the firearms community, GunZee expanded into carry accessories and preparedness gear.

Today, GunZee has evolved into a specialized defensive training company focused on producing highly realistic shooting targets and educational training resources.
