Hasn't really been my style for a long while but I do have a dagger slide on one of my P80s and just bought a full H&R M16A1 clone for a great deal. Have looked at the jakl potentially for the future. Certain things even my mindset considers them and that's what makes a great company
@@JNOSNOWThe new M110 clone Saber is what I'm eyeing for a future purchase. I definitely can't afford to spend ten grand on a Knights Armament. But I can afford the $1,500 bucks for the Sabre. It's definitely a great thing they are doing to keep freedom alive and well in America, by making these quality firearms available to the common man!!😎🇺🇸💪
I have a transferable machine gun {m16} i run PSA parts/uppers on the fucker nearly exclusively and never an issue. Thing runs like a damned top. If their parts were crap, i would surely see it. Great Company. Great Parts. Great Prices. They have my support.
I have a complaint. The AK that I got from them them failed to eject constantly. You know what PSA did and how they treated me? They fixed the gun and were kind and courteous the whole time. Crazy! How dare they!
He said a very summarized version of all this about 5-6 years ago on a 2min shotshow interview. That was when i became a customer for life. Still the same message today, still why i'm a loyal customer
I was an elitist prick and shit talked PSA to no end because of their early QC issues. I have since grown and now own multiple PSA products. PSA is a great American company, and what theyre doing for the citizenry is wild, and appreciated.
Same here man. I worked at a shop when I lived down south. Being former military working with an owner who was also, we saw and got the coolest stuff and these guys show up and were laughed at.... Now Im on a wait list for a Sabre10, my GF3 is the best AK I've owned, I buy their parts. I don't really have a need for one of their AR's just yet as I have 4 others but I'll add on at some point. This interview gave me a whole new perspective on them.
I was one of those guys you called an idiot for not complaining about a $2 reset spring, 10 years later and a new barrel the rifle has been amazing. Did upgrade to NiB at some point for no reason related to failure. Welcome to the party.
To be fair they 100% still have quality issues. Especially when they bring a new platform to market. They simply have become ALOT better at customer service and fixing those problems for customers.
@@Thisthat1234 to be fair, almost all companies experience that with new lines, despite those same companies taking two or three times longer to bring them to the market - Springfield and SIG being two of the worst.

Are PSA guns top competition? NO. But 70-90% of gun owners will never exceed the abilities of their guns. They are solid, dependable, and reasonably priced.
I'm a huge PSA fan. I always loved guns but I got into guns through WWII collecting. Always wanted to get into ARs but they were expensive. November 2020 I returned from deployment and bought my first AR. I've bought a handful since and every single one is either fully PSA or partially built with PSA parts. AAC has allowed me to get a decent supply of ammo to practice with also. And now with the Sabre line I keep directing people there to get a quality AR at an affordable price. Especially first time buyers. I'm a PSA fanatic and I will be for life. Love the company. PS. Always wanted a SCAR/ACR/XCR. Thank you for the JAKL to allow those dreams to come true without straining my family finances. Already saving for the 308 Jakl.
I agree.. AAC is not reliant on Gov contracts. I try to support PSA and AAC whenever I look at making builds and also when I make stockpile ammo purchases. My 1 warranty situation with PSA was handled fast and to my complete satisfaction. Keep up the good work PSA.
I have had 3 bad experiences with AAC ammo out of the 4 times I have bought them. All of the 3 problems where under powered ammo. Im to disappointed in them to buy from them again.
They are what out founding manufacturers used to be; until they put money over the people.. Not going to name particular companies; but we all know who they are.. My full support (buying power) goes to PSA.

Remington sucks.... ... When Remington bought Marlin, they began to suck also. Ruger has gotten Marlin back up to their old standards of clickety clack quality...🎉... But recent times Remington sucks. Remington ammo sucks. Their recent firearms suck...PSA and AAC anything over Remington...
PSA is one of the only manufacturers providing citizens with reasonably priced firearms. They aren't they best, they aren't the worst. They just work and that's okay! At the end of the day, what PSA stands for and delivers is much greater. Thank you PSA & GOA!
Not sure what shit you are smoking. There's a multitude of firearm manufacturers in the price bracket that make good guns. PSA is one of the only ones that claims to support the 2nd Amendment, but the turns around and spits on the rights of residents who reside in states that scare them. They are cowards. Plain and simple. If you don't believe me, check their shipping policy, and then look into what people in those states can actually own. I'll tell you right now, that CT residents have been able to purchase AR parts for 9 years, and PSA has told us to fuck off for that entire time (even after HB6667 we can still bug components).
PSA are mostly MIL Spec and combat ready. Sure, you spend an extra $300 for a CHF barrel but all the other stuff is basic bitch stuff like you see in the Army lol I'm not an expert and guns aren't my life but I know what they're made of, how they're made, the material tolerances and life expectancy of the materials and PSA doesn't make anything that wouldn't pass MIL SPEC. Obviously PSA had machining issues in the beginning but such is the world of industrial mass production. I haven't seen PSA make a mistake they wouldn't gladly fix. True blood Americans shop with PSA. You have to buy American to have an America so stop buying junk from Turkey and China. And Palmetto should ban the sale of all products from China. If there was an incentive American companies would invest in the equipment and start making affordable optics like China and Europe. Vote with your dollars folks.

First off, always enjoyed PSA. But after this podcast episode and his unnerving transparency, I’m all in! This is one of the best podcasts I’ve seen in a while. It’s so good and the philosophy behind PSA is what the majority of consumers want. For this reason we are going to do a lot more PSA content. Thanks for sharing to the both of you.
@@Gator69420 bought one and built one. Have had no issues with it except if you run it a little to hard it will mess with you hitting target as the barrel gets hot. Haven't used it enough in that kind of environment to see exactly where it's hitting. Still working on it. But no miss feeds or jams.
PSA was the only place around (that I knew of) that ALWAYS had shit in stock and not at price gouging prices during the plandemic. Have NO idea how they did that but it was awesome. I also loved their statement which I can't find anymore about not selling firearms and parts to the government that is actively trying to disarm us. LOVE the stance of the company.
PSA keeps huge stocks of raw materials, & parts specifically to ride out panics. Some channels have done tours of their manufacturing facilities, & show just that.
If listening to this doesn't make you want to buy more PSA I don't know what will. I can't wait to see when PSA drops a 2011 or a CZ Shadow competitor.
Wow! Best podcast I've listened to all year! This guy made me want to empty my bank account on PSA's website right now! Love his passion and vision for Americans! Even more of a fan of PSA now! What a great 2A company! Keep up the good work GOA, John and Kailey!
PSA is for those of us who don't buy based on what we see on Instagram. Definitely perfect for my oldest daughter and her fiance who are just starting their lives together. I've done ok for myself but I am still a working man. I'll forever support those who support us.
I've been helping my daughter's fiancé build his first gun. I'm buying the whole thing one piece at a time, and thanks to PSA, I can set the next generation on the road to freedom.
Well said. I couldn't care less what some well known UA-camr or Instagram person says. It's unfortunate how many people, though, follow that dressed up marketing nonsense.
Palmetto literally saved my life. During Covid, I had an epiphany about the state of the world and realized I was so unprepared and my family would be sitting ducks. I got 2 daggers, a SBR and AK. Going back for that JAKL too.
We share a similar story. Other manufacturers had nothing in stock and other stuff was way out of my price range. I appreciate the company for being there. They were available and affordable, bought some AKs from them during the pandemic. I also refuse to pay but so much for a weapon especially considering most people aren’t putting 5000 rounds through an AK or any gun.
I think the best thing about PSA is that they aren’t beholden to shareholders. I’ll admit that shareholding opens many financial doors for companies, but it always leads to compromises in quality for both consumers and employees.
I am on the PSA website several times a week. I visit the Columbia store at least once a month and the Charleston store every time we visit family there. I don't buy ammo now unless it's AAC, and I keep your brass to reload it. What you're doing is so important and I appreciate it. I will keep buying your products, and endorsing them to bring others into the movement. Thanks man, you make me proud to be your neighbor!
It's been flawless, every caliber I've shot. Zero failures or issues. Check out Mr. Gunsngear for accuracy of their rifle ammo, but that can vary more based on the particular rifle than the ammo. It's been plenty accurate for me in mine though.
PSA was on my list as an option for my AR15 after seen this interview I realized that I also want to support a company that aligns with my values. Sold
As a machinist and gunsmith, Ive always supprted PSA. My Machinist class was able to tour theirs and FN's facilities in SC. Ive worked for multipke manufacturers in my career as well as working for the DOD. What I can say on the AR and AK fronts, their manufacturing processes are just as fine tuned as the higher end manufacurers. Every LARGE manufacturing companies go through QC issues throughout all company histories. I love HK and SIG, but I love PSA more. One last story, worked for an ammo manufacturer who used PSA rifles to do lot testing and for employees to use on range days. One of them had 120,000 rounds ran through the same barrel before we swapped it out. Agter that we implemented a 50,000 round change out. They produce quality, affordable product. I disregard the haters of AAC ammo as well. For a new ammo company to IMMEDIATELY take over a decent share of the ammo market, I'd say theyre doing phenomenally. They're even offering rifles at the same tier as BCM with the SABRE line. I understand some wont believe me about any of this, but its my professional opinion. Ill end this long rant by saying that I didnt believe anything I just said until I became a machinist and toured their facilities.
@@Gator69420 yes sir. I have an RPK and an AK of theirs. RPK:3800 rounds, AK:2200 rounds. Everything I've ran through it functions as it should. Standard AK accuracy. No magazine/feeding or fit and finish issues. I can keep the groups at around 1.9-2.5 inches with decent ammo. Cannot complain one bit for the money.
The price at PSA was quite honestly the #1 reason why I chose PSA over there others. This story is great. Thanks GOA for bringing light to this great company.
I own about 15 PSA Uppers and Lowers, and two Dagger slides(complete uppers). They all run just as well as my Daniel Defense ARs, and the PSA Uppers run perfectly in full auto with my Colt M16. And, they come with a lifetime warranty. Thank you for your service and for your great products.
I'll never understand why tf people boast about how many firearms and parts they own online. Then post pictures. Yinz are easy prey for those that want to steal from and the ATF/LE to watch. 🤦♂️
@@rybaneightsix5085 What a stupid comment, especially with nothing to base it on. My PSA ARs have performed no better or worse than my Daniel Defense ARs. They both produce great products, but PSA has a LIFETIME WARRANTY, at a lower price, and they run full auto every time.
I’ll concur with jodyhill on this one. I attached the PSA 11.5” commando upper on a registered M16 A1 lower (in case the ATF wants to waste a trip down here and gawk at the paperwork. And my a**hole), but we ran eight consecutive 30rnd mags back to back through this PSA upper without fail. More giggle switch sessions followed over the next few months. Beautiful sewing machines.
PSA is an awesome company. They offer a lifetime warranty. If they were using cheap parts they couldn’t afford to do that. This company has made it possible to buy firearms on a middle class budget. I will always support them as long as their mission statement doesn’t change
I bought my PSA 1 year ago because it was all i could afford. I paid $386 for a blemished lower and upper separate. These guys are probably more responisble that anybody else for allowing the citizens of this country to exercise their 2nd amendment rights.... AND i'll have you guys know that last week I have already developed 4 different hand loads for this $386 rifle that are all consistently between 0.5 and 1.0 MOA. Very accurate, zero failures after 1500rds and it's the cheapest AR on the market. I salute you Palmetto State Armory
I support PSA just due to the products they're innovating on but this made me support them even more. I love they're supporting us with ammo with lawyer fees. It's really refreshing that a gun manufacturer will start gun stores whether online or physical and sell competitions products as well. It's really an all for one mentality over there.
I've bought numerous PSA products and a few non-PSA products from PSA. One point I'll make is I believe the value factor at and with PSA can't be beat by anyone. I'm itching for shot show so I can see what he's talking about with the cool factor they're gonna bring.
I have grown to love and appreciate PSA. I make sure to visit as many of their stores as possible and keep ordering their products on line also. Great interview Thank you GOA and PSA Two American heroes.
The word _’hobby’_ is a good insight. Many gun owners don’t make one purchase - they go on to collect, build, etc. Focusing on single high margins can be a detriment to growing your customer base.
This man has not changed from the start that is why they get my business and will continue to do so. Great products I can not wait to see what they come up with next.
Shout out to this guy. Made it possible for me to start the hobby. Some of my friends are shills for top brands and never heard of PSA. I've converted some of em
Palmetto State Armory is the Only reason I'm gonna spend a penny on this type of rifle, in the 80's I owned a Colt AR 15, but had to sell it to feed kids. They put a price point into action, And I decided it was high time to buy. Lower for 29.00, and a full upper and lower kit for 299.00,??? Well I'm not one to kick myself later, because I didn't jump on that deal.. and a Veteran type company.. Amen and Thank you people.😊
Thank you for your comments about single shot rifles/ shotguns. Such an important step in a young man’s love of hunting. Learning good habits on single shot is crucial. My single shot has put more food on the table than any other gun I own.
PSA is a great outlet for every new shooter. They're affordable, reliable, and they have good customer service. I love my dagger, it was very affordable and hasnt had any issues. They're a company to watch over the next couple of decades.
I started buying PSA products last year without out any knowledge of the company. I started getting daily emails and I was shocked at the good deals they offered. After watching this interview I’m definitely gonna share information with my friends and family about PSA.
I am so proud of these guys, and the name they picked. I'm a Native South Carolina resident with lots of patriotic family history. I own their products, and will continue to support them. Keep up the good work PSA!
All of my interactions with PSA have left me with a feeling that they were a very down to earth company and I now see it starts from the very top. Thank you for doing this interview. This is great stuff!
Any guy that wants his fellow citizens to be ready to defend our constitution over getting rich, is my homeboy! Our armory is pretty vast. Even though, we have many Daggars, PSAK GF5, Jackyls etc. This is the ONLY company expanding their product line. Long live PSA!!!!!!!
Christmas gift this year was a .308 Gen 3. If this dude is authentic then I feel that much better about the purchase. That said, I've been buying ammo from them forever. Now if they would JUST get a bit more active with the coupon codes :)
After listening to this gentlemen and knowing some of his background and vision driving his success, he now has a lifelong customer. I built an AR from parts bought from them in the past but I will be buying everything from them here on out.
As a new FFL Palmetto State Armory has been the best supplier to work with. I had a cheap perspective of the company before but it has evolved, even before this interview. This just solidifies it. Great job, thank you.
My two buddies and I have 10k+ rounds combined through our PSA platforms. We also own other ‘higher end’ brands, and have developed no preference between PSA and those higher end brands. That’s based on our experience with their reliability, accuracy and durability. I look forward to my next PSA based platform!
I have never watched an hour long interview like this before, but the time just flew by….Loved his stories and hearing about how PSA was started. In regard to the products they make and sell, I haven’t had a single issue across multiple product lines (AR, AK, Dagger etc)…I love PSA, the value cannot be matched and they will continue to be my “go to” for any 2A related purchases.
I own a PSA dagger, a PSA rock, and I will soon on a micro dagger! Made tons of purchases from PSA and never had one single problem . I don’t care what people say about Palmetto State Armory. Their corporate compass points, the same direction I do! People need to stop doing business with garbage companies that don’t support our community and support companies like PSA that support us and the second amendment!
I love PSA and I own a PSA. Can't complain and won't complain about because there is nothing to complain about. Keep doing what your doing PSA.
You couldn't have said it any better 👏🏻

@@Gator69420 bought one and built one. Have had no issues with it except if you run it a little to hard it will mess with you hitting target as the barrel gets hot. Haven't used it enough in that kind of environment to see exactly where it's hitting. Still working on it. But no miss feeds or jams.
@@jagflhtcthat’s awesome to hear! How many rounds you think you have through yours? I just got the GF5 and is pretty solid!
PSA was the only place around (that I knew of) that ALWAYS had shit in stock and not at price gouging prices during the plandemic. Have NO idea how they did that but it was awesome. I also loved their statement which I can't find anymore about not selling firearms and parts to the government that is actively trying to disarm us. LOVE the stance of the company.
PSA keeps huge stocks of raw materials, & parts specifically to ride out panics. Some channels have done tours of their manufacturing facilities, & show just that.
"You may not know what freedom is, but you definitely know when you lose it... or lost it"
What a statement...
Thank you PSA!
Thank you PSA!
Thank you PSA!
I was already a fan boy of ol' PSA but listening to the CEO makes me like them even more.
Iam and always will be an PSA customer. I stand with their values.
If listening to this doesn't make you want to buy more PSA I don't know what will. I can't wait to see when PSA drops a 2011 or a CZ Shadow competitor.
Wow! Best podcast I've listened to all year! This guy made me want to empty my bank account on PSA's website right now! Love his passion and vision for Americans! Even more of a fan of PSA now! What a great 2A company! Keep up the good work GOA, John and Kailey!
It's only been three weeks lol
PSA is for those of us who don't buy based on what we see on Instagram. Definitely perfect for my oldest daughter and her fiance who are just starting their lives together. I've done ok for myself but I am still a working man. I'll forever support those who support us.
I've been helping my daughter's fiancé build his first gun. I'm buying the whole thing one piece at a time, and thanks to PSA, I can set the next generation on the road to freedom.
@@regularfather4708 As a man and father should do. God bless
Well said. I couldn't care less what some well known UA-camr or Instagram person says. It's unfortunate how many people, though, follow that dressed up marketing nonsense.
I enjoyed hearing about PSA and the history of PSA.
Palmetto literally saved my life. During Covid, I had an epiphany about the state of the world and realized I was so unprepared and my family would be sitting ducks. I got 2 daggers, a SBR and AK. Going back for that JAKL too.
We share a similar story. Other manufacturers had nothing in stock and other stuff was way out of my price range. I appreciate the company for being there. They were available and affordable, bought some AKs from them during the pandemic. I also refuse to pay but so much for a weapon especially considering most people aren’t putting 5000 rounds through an AK or any gun.
I got the JAKL recently. You will not regret it - fantastic gun
@@workthenumberswjake I’ll be buying the VUK when it’s available and selling off the majority of my ARs.
@@workthenumberswjake yessir! Going for mine soon!
How’s your ak holding up? I just got their GF5 and I’m pretty impressed
I bought from this guy several times. 5 stars.
I think the best thing about PSA is that they aren’t beholden to shareholders. I’ll admit that shareholding opens many financial doors for companies, but it always leads to compromises in quality for both consumers and employees.
Yep, you remind me of the Freedom Group buying Remington, Marlin, etc. Quality seemed to take a dip in all those brands.
I am on the PSA website several times a week. I visit the Columbia store at least once a month and the Charleston store every time we visit family there. I don't buy ammo now unless it's AAC, and I keep your brass to reload it. What you're doing is so important and I appreciate it. I will keep buying your products, and endorsing them to bring others into the movement. Thanks man, you make me proud to be your neighbor!
How’s your experience with aac ammo?
It's been flawless, every caliber I've shot. Zero failures or issues. Check out Mr. Gunsngear for accuracy of their rifle ammo, but that can vary more based on the particular rifle than the ammo. It's been plenty accurate for me in mine though.
Bless PSA. I exercised my 2nd amendment right for the first time 2 yrs ago with the help of PSA and their build kits. Forever changed my life!
PSA is by far the greatest US based 2A manufacturer, in the greatest country on earth..
Love PSA. I wish I could work for you guys. You guys are awesome. Keep doin what you're doin.
PSA was on my list as an option for my AR15 after seen this interview I realized that I also want to support a company that aligns with my values. Sold
GREAT PRODUCTS, GREAT SERVICE!
As a SC resident I fully support PSA every chance I get and have been for years. I'd love for them to start manufacturing suppressors next.
They are working on it. They debuted the prototypes from the AAC brand at SHOT show this week.
@@jonathanswift7582 Thats awesome news
Any experience with their AKs? Would love feedback
Love the GOA.
As a machinist and gunsmith, Ive always supprted PSA. My Machinist class was able to tour theirs and FN's facilities in SC. Ive worked for multipke manufacturers in my career as well as working for the DOD. What I can say on the AR and AK fronts, their manufacturing processes are just as fine tuned as the higher end manufacurers. Every LARGE manufacturing companies go through QC issues throughout all company histories. I love HK and SIG, but I love PSA more.
One last story, worked for an ammo manufacturer who used PSA rifles to do lot testing and for employees to use on range days. One of them had 120,000 rounds ran through the same barrel before we swapped it out. Agter that we implemented a 50,000 round change out. They produce quality, affordable product. I disregard the haters of AAC ammo as well. For a new ammo company to IMMEDIATELY take over a decent share of the ammo market, I'd say theyre doing phenomenally. They're even offering rifles at the same tier as BCM with the SABRE line. I understand some wont believe me about any of this, but its my professional opinion. Ill end this long rant by saying that I didnt believe anything I just said until I became a machinist and toured their facilities.
Any experience with their AKs? Looking for feedback
@@Gator69420 yes sir. I have an RPK and an AK of theirs. RPK:3800 rounds, AK:2200 rounds. Everything I've ran through it functions as it should. Standard AK accuracy. No magazine/feeding or fit and finish issues. I can keep the groups at around 1.9-2.5 inches with decent ammo. Cannot complain one bit for the money.
Wow thats awesome with the round count! Glad to hear that! They seem to be making decent stuff
just bought my first PSA Dagger couple weeks ago . really love this gun
Thank you Palmetto State Armory!
I hope you know how much we the people appreciate you and your team!
Thank you! 💯🇺🇸👍
GoA and PSA both are great!
Thank you for keeping freedom alive.
The price at PSA was quite honestly the #1 reason why I chose PSA over there others. This story is great. Thanks GOA for bringing light to this great company.
How’s your experience with PSA? Any feedback on their AK and their aac line of ammo?
Happy to support PSA
PSA customer here. No complaints. Love his Business Model and his Patriotism!!!
Any experience with their AKs? Would love feedback? AAC ammo?
PSA is the best thing going right now by a country mile. Keep it up!
❤❤❤ This guy is a hero.
Awesome, thank you GOA & PSA for everything you both do! Please keep it up! God bless
I own about 15 PSA Uppers and Lowers, and two Dagger slides(complete uppers). They all run just as well as my Daniel Defense ARs, and the PSA Uppers run perfectly in full auto with my Colt M16.
And, they come with a lifetime warranty. Thank you for your service and for your great products.
The atf appreciates your comment.
I'll never understand why tf people boast about how many firearms and parts they own online. Then post pictures. Yinz are easy prey for those that want to steal from and the ATF/LE to watch. 🤦♂️
I question how much you actually run any of them to make such a comparison.
@@rybaneightsix5085 What a stupid comment, especially with nothing to base it on. My PSA ARs have performed no better or worse than my Daniel Defense ARs. They both produce great products, but PSA has a LIFETIME WARRANTY, at a lower price, and they run full auto every time.
I’ll concur with jodyhill on this one. I attached the PSA 11.5” commando upper on a registered M16 A1 lower (in case the ATF wants to waste a trip down here and gawk at the paperwork. And my a**hole), but we ran eight consecutive 30rnd mags back to back through this PSA upper without fail. More giggle switch sessions followed over the next few months. Beautiful sewing machines.
I have about 30 PSA stickers laying all over the house ( if you know, you know)! Love their stuff. turned lots of people on to their site. Thanks PSA
Psa and aim surplus are national treasures.
PSA is an awesome company. They offer a lifetime warranty. If they were using cheap parts they couldn’t afford to do that. This company has made it possible to buy firearms on a middle class budget. I will always support them as long as their mission statement doesn’t change
Any experience with their AKs? Looking for feedback
I am lower than middle class and own PSA stuff.
I bought my PSA 1 year ago because it was all i could afford. I paid $386 for a blemished lower and upper separate. These guys are probably more responisble that anybody else for allowing the citizens of this country to exercise their 2nd amendment rights.... AND i'll have you guys know that last week I have already developed 4 different hand loads for this $386 rifle that are all consistently between 0.5 and 1.0 MOA. Very accurate, zero failures after 1500rds and it's the cheapest AR on the market. I salute you Palmetto State Armory
I bought one of their "blems" at a really good price. Here's the thing... I could not find a blemish on it.
I love what PSA stands for and what they do! Keep up the great work! Really appreciate and highly support your mission. Thank you, sir!
Support GOA and support PSA! South Carolina is the proud home of Freedom and PSA!! I love my Myrtle Beach Store!!
I support PSA just due to the products they're innovating on but this made me support them even more. I love they're supporting us with ammo with lawyer fees. It's really refreshing that a gun manufacturer will start gun stores whether online or physical and sell competitions products as well. It's really an all for one mentality over there.
This interview makes PSA even better of a company to hear Jamin's perspective. Keep up the good fight.
So glad I bought from PSA, can’t wait to by more! Thank you for what you’re doing, and for your service!! GOD bless America!!!
Just made my first purchase from PSA. Looking forward to spreading the good word about them.
CA resident. I visited family in SC last X mas and we went to PSA. It almost brought tears to my eyes. Keep up the good work!
I've bought numerous PSA products and a few non-PSA products from PSA. One point I'll make is I believe the value factor at and with PSA can't be beat by anyone.
I'm itching for shot show so I can see what he's talking about with the cool factor they're gonna bring.
Amen to PSA ....makes me wanna be a loyal only PSA customer ...I really believe in the mission and vision !!
I have grown to love and appreciate PSA. I make sure to visit as many of their stores as possible and keep ordering their products on line also.
Great interview
Thank you GOA and PSA
Two American heroes.
The word _’hobby’_ is a good insight.
Many gun owners don’t make one purchase - they go on to collect, build, etc.
Focusing on single high margins can be a detriment to growing your customer base.
Problem is a ‘hobby’ turns into addiction and you spend even more money.
@@dale3754so what? Better than buying expensive clothes or other useless stuff. Firearms usually go up in price anyway
@@Romanus- Very true. Firearms and ammunition will always hold value. Brass and lead are precious metals too.
This man has not changed from the start that is why they get my business and will continue to do so. Great products I can not wait to see what they come up with next.
Just received my third firearm from PSA and as expected it's a really nice piece of equipment.
Shout out to this guy. Made it possible for me to start the hobby. Some of my friends are shills for top brands and never heard of PSA. I've converted some of em
Palmetto State Armory is the Only reason I'm gonna spend a penny on this type of rifle, in the 80's I owned a Colt AR 15, but had to sell it to feed kids. They put a price point into action, And I decided it was high time to buy.
Lower for 29.00, and a full upper and lower kit for 299.00,??? Well I'm not one to kick myself later, because I didn't jump on that deal.. and a Veteran type company.. Amen and Thank you people.😊
Thank you for your comments about single shot rifles/ shotguns. Such an important step in a young man’s love of hunting. Learning good habits on single shot is crucial. My single shot has put more food on the table than any other gun I own.
PSA is a great outlet for every new shooter. They're affordable, reliable, and they have good customer service. I love my dagger, it was very affordable and hasnt had any issues. They're a company to watch over the next couple of decades.
PSA is by far the most 2A friendly manufacturer currently available. The products are excellent, and the service outstanding.
Thank You GOA & PSA for all you do !! 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great guy, great company.
I started buying PSA products last year without out any knowledge of the company. I started getting daily emails and I was shocked at the good deals they offered. After watching this interview I’m definitely gonna share information with my friends and family about PSA.
Thank you for all you have done for all of us
I am so proud of these guys, and the name they picked. I'm a Native South Carolina resident with lots of patriotic family history. I own their products, and will continue to support them. Keep up the good work PSA!
I own a number of PSA toys and they have all been great !!!
Any experience with their AKs? Would love feedback
All of my interactions with PSA have left me with a feeling that they were a very down to earth company and I now see it starts from the very top. Thank you for doing this interview. This is great stuff!
Any guy that wants his fellow citizens to be ready to defend our constitution over getting rich, is my homeboy!
Our armory is pretty vast. Even though, we have many Daggars, PSAK GF5, Jackyls etc.
This is the ONLY company expanding their product line.
Long live PSA!!!!!!!
Christmas gift this year was a .308 Gen 3. If this dude is authentic then I feel that much better about the purchase. That said, I've been buying ammo from them forever. Now if they would JUST get a bit more active with the coupon codes :)
Love my PSA pew pews.... will continue to support them.
Any experience with their aks and or aac ammo? Would love feedback
Love PSA’s mission and I will continue to support them
“And the nice thing is, you get to work all day and spread freedom.”🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
After listening to this gentlemen and knowing some of his background and vision driving his success, he now has a lifelong customer. I built an AR from parts bought from them in the past but I will be buying everything from them here on out.
I pretty much buy from them now. My last 3 guns (minus my Extar) were bought from PSA.
A fantastic company and a fantastic gun rights organization. This is a great interview.
My first AR is a palmetto 16 and I love it. Their prices are incredible, I get excited when they send me emails with offers
As a new FFL Palmetto State Armory has been the best supplier to work with. I had a cheap perspective of the company before but it has evolved, even before this interview. This just solidifies it. Great job, thank you.
PSA IS FANTASTIC
Any experience with their AKs ? And or aac ammo? Would love feedback! Also looking at their basic M4 AR
My two buddies and I have 10k+ rounds combined through our PSA platforms. We also own other ‘higher end’ brands, and have developed no preference between PSA and those higher end brands. That’s based on our experience with their reliability, accuracy and durability. I look forward to my next PSA based platform!
Any experience with their AKs ? Would love feedback
I have never watched an hour long interview like this before, but the time just flew by….Loved his stories and hearing about how PSA was started.
In regard to the products they make and sell, I haven’t had a single issue across multiple product lines (AR, AK, Dagger etc)…I love PSA, the value cannot be matched and they will continue to be my “go to” for any 2A related purchases.
I own a PSA dagger, a PSA rock, and I will soon on a micro dagger!
Made tons of purchases from PSA and never had one single problem .
I don’t care what people say about Palmetto State Armory. Their corporate compass points, the same direction I do!
People need to stop doing business with garbage companies that don’t support our community and support companies like PSA that support us and the second amendment!
Folks Claim their Real American Patriots but continue to Buy Firearms from Communist Founded Countries.
