Grab a Beer VOLUME 6 with Joe Savio

Grab a Beer VOLUME 6 with Joe Savio

October 01, 2019

We met October's GAB Friend at the range and have been friends ever since: Joe Savio. @savior_gst

We met Joe Savio on the range a while back and were instantly charmed by his skills and his humor. He is the owner of GST Training & Consulting, partner in Modern Materiel, the first and only New Jersey AR-15 manufacturer focusing on law enforcement, and Relations Manager for Holosun Optics among other firearms and defense industry companies. Drummer/Shooter/Tequila connoisseur...clearly he is a very good guy to know.
