First Breach

First Breach manufactures match-grade ammunition components and complete rounds entirely from scratch in Hagerstown, Maryland. Every product—from brass cups and casings to full-metal-jacket projectiles, lead cores, and lead wire—is produced in-house at their 75,000 square foot facility.

First Breach was founded in 2018 by Jeffrey and Jordan Low, a father-son team with extensive defense industry credentials. Jordan served as a combat sharpshooter in Israel's prestigious Golani Brigade (Unit 51, known as "The First Breachers"), where he deployed to Lebanon and Gaza. The company's name honors that unit's tradition of breaching enemy lines ahead of other forces.

After his service and education at Georgetown University (graduated Summa Cum Laude), Jordan and his father decided to start a business together in the defense sector. They secured Federal Firearms Licenses and international certifications (FFL, DDTC, ITAR, Israeli Ministry of Defense) and began manufacturing operations in 2022 in the historic Fairchild-Republic Aircraft factory complex.
