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.
At 26:30, he said they (PSA)is the king of innovation, they aren't kidding. These guys are killing it man. Our country is blessed to have a company like this, they are the future Remington, Ruger of our country.
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...
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.
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 was starting a business in late 2008, PSA was unheard of but they were the only company that came through on my order. A drop in the bucket for them, but it was huge for me and allowed my business to be successful. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for PSA.
Met this guy years ago when I was passing through and stopped at the Columbia area store. No clue he was the owner. But I remember him being very personable and treated me like I mattered. I like him and his company even more now after hearing his vision.
@@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 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 live in Maryland. The upfront cost of getting into the gun community is outrageous in this state. I'm new to the community, got started back in January 2023. All told to get my HQL and CCW was right around $500. Then the first gun, holster, optic, holster, cleaning kit. Then you start getting tools and upgrades. It's absolutely insane and it turns a lot of people off. I love PSA for doing things at the prices they do.
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.
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.
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.
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'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.
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.
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.
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
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 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 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.
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!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
To add to his point on manufacturers adding crazy mark up, look no further than Sig. The M17/M18 retails for $775. They sold the USMC their M18s for $180 each.
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.
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.
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
Love PSA, best AK, AR15 and Glock clone I own are all PSA firearms. For the money you pay you get something dependable and the extra can buy ammo, training or other things.
@@Gator69420 So far 5,000 rounds through it and environment being typical midwest it's handled freezing mud and dry dusty summer so far without an issue I couldn't solve with a kick to the bolt handle at worst. Only weird thing is mine doesn't like brass case as much as steel case. I've had 2 easy clear jams with brass, and zero with the cheapest, nastiest wolf ammo I could get.
@@michaellind3653 thanks for the response! I see I tagged you in a couple videos 🤣 sorry about that I’ve been pickin a lot of brains on these aks. My GF5 is running great and I’m Happy
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've always been a fan of PSA simply because I grew up in Charleston. Finally got around to building my first AR and it features a PSA lower. After this episode I'll be a customer for life.
Just made my first AR15 Purchase with PSA. At first I was going to go with a Colt that was going to be around $1,100.00, However for half the price of the Colt I was able to get a Nitride finish barrel carbine PA15 along with 2 Magazines, PSA Rifle bag, P Mag flip rear iron sight, Vortex Strike II Red/Green Dot, Rifle Cleaning Kit, Ear and Eyes from PSA and a Log on my Training Progress. All in all with Tax added $733.16. Plus it gives me some room to purchase Ammo. Plus I love what PSA stands for in terms of the 2nd ammendment and their mission of getting everyone a AR15. Bouns points for being a Veteran owned and operated company. Just got a brand new customer with PSA :) For the record I was a Anti AR15 supporter. Now 100% for the ownership of a AR15 and will be a proud AR 15 owner and a proud GOA Member.
The FFL I use charges $30 per transfer. The guy down the interstate charges $70. The guy down the interstate said that he wants us to buy from him so that's why he charges so much...SMH When you're $200 higher than what I can get it for on line I'm ordering on line. Granted, he carries a lot of higher end firearms and he has a lot of inventory.
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.
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 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.

@@workthenumberswjake yessir! Going for mine soon!
How’s your ak holding up? I just got their GF5 and I’m pretty impressed
I love this guy, no diddy. Because he is one of few people who are this successful and extremely transparent about his business ethic.
Love PSA AND GOA ❤❤❤
Awesome, thank you GOA & PSA for everything you both do! Please keep it up! God bless
I was starting a business in late 2008, PSA was unheard of but they were the only company that came through on my order. A drop in the bucket for them, but it was huge for me and allowed my business to be successful. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for PSA.
Met this guy years ago when I was passing through and stopped at the Columbia area store. No clue he was the owner. But I remember him being very personable and treated me like I mattered. I like him and his company even more now after hearing his vision.
Huge fan of both PSA and GOA! Huge thanks to both of these organizations! Keep doing what you are doing!
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
PSA has been my go to when I lived in Greenville SC. Still a go to now that I live in Indiana. Thank you PSA
Any experience with their AKs or ARs
@@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!
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
I was already a fan boy of ol' PSA but listening to the CEO makes me like them even more.
PSA is the best thing going right now by a country mile. Keep it up!
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 live in Maryland. The upfront cost of getting into the gun community is outrageous in this state. I'm new to the community, got started back in January 2023. All told to get my HQL and CCW was right around $500. Then the first gun, holster, optic, holster, cleaning kit. Then you start getting tools and upgrades. It's absolutely insane and it turns a lot of people off. I love PSA for doing things at the prices they do.
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.
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.
PSA is by far the greatest US based 2A manufacturer, in the greatest country on earth..
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.
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.
Love the GOA.
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!!!
I enjoyed hearing about PSA and the history of PSA.
Iam and always will be an PSA customer. I stand with their values.
Love PSA. I wish I could work for you guys. You guys are awesome. Keep doin what you're doin.
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.
just bought my first PSA Dagger couple weeks ago . really love this gun
Amen to PSA ....makes me wanna be a loyal only PSA customer ...I really believe in the mission and vision !!
GREAT PRODUCTS, GREAT SERVICE!
“And the nice thing is, you get to work all day and spread freedom.”🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
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
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!
Happy to support PSA
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.
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.
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 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 customer here. No complaints. Love his Business Model and his Patriotism!!!
Any experience with their AKs? Would love feedback? AAC ammo?
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
❤❤❤ This guy is a hero.
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!!!!!!!
I bought from this guy several times. 5 stars.
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?
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!
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.
PSA is by far the most 2A friendly manufacturer currently available. The products are excellent, and the service outstanding.
Psa and aim surplus are national treasures.
Support GOA and support PSA! South Carolina is the proud home of Freedom and PSA!! I love my Myrtle Beach Store!!
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.
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
Love my PSA pew pews.... will continue to support them.
Any experience with their aks and or aac ammo? Would love feedback
I am the hugest PSA fanboy. I don't care if they're "for the poors." Rich people can buy cheap things too. These guys are for the people.
This interview makes PSA even better of a company to hear Jamin's perspective. Keep up the good fight.
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.
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.
Just made my first purchase from PSA. Looking forward to spreading the good word about them.
I own a number of PSA toys and they have all been great !!!
Any experience with their AKs? Would love feedback
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!
PSA IS FANTASTIC
Any experience with their AKs ? And or aac ammo? Would love feedback! Also looking at their basic M4 AR
To add to his point on manufacturers adding crazy mark up, look no further than Sig. The M17/M18 retails for $775. They sold the USMC their M18s for $180 each.
AND they had to return like half of them, or even more, because they were junk. Armorers had so many issues with a lot of them.
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.
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.
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
Love PSA, best AK, AR15 and Glock clone I own are all PSA firearms. For the money you pay you get something dependable and the extra can buy ammo, training or other things.
How’s four experience with their AKs? Just go their GF5 and would really love feedback! Thank you 🇺🇸
@@Gator69420 So far 5,000 rounds through it and environment being typical midwest it's handled freezing mud and dry dusty summer so far without an issue I couldn't solve with a kick to the bolt handle at worst. Only weird thing is mine doesn't like brass case as much as steel case. I've had 2 easy clear jams with brass, and zero with the cheapest, nastiest wolf ammo I could get.
@@michaellind3653 thanks for the response! I see I tagged you in a couple videos 🤣 sorry about that I’ve been pickin a lot of brains on these aks. My GF5 is running great and I’m
Happy
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.
💯
PSA+AAC = FREEDOM
How’s your experience with aac ammo? Any thoughts on their AKs ?
Great guy, great company.
I've always been a fan of PSA simply because I grew up in Charleston. Finally got around to building my first AR and it features a PSA lower. After this episode I'll be a customer for life.
I pretty much buy from them now. My last 3 guns (minus my Extar) were bought from PSA.
Just received my third firearm from PSA and as expected it's a really nice piece of equipment.
Thank you for all you have done for all of us
Just made my first AR15 Purchase with PSA. At first I was going to go with a Colt that was going to be around $1,100.00, However for half the price of the Colt I was able to get a Nitride finish barrel carbine PA15 along with 2 Magazines, PSA Rifle bag, P Mag flip rear iron sight, Vortex Strike II Red/Green Dot, Rifle Cleaning Kit, Ear and Eyes from PSA and a Log on my Training Progress. All in all with Tax added $733.16. Plus it gives me some room to purchase Ammo.
Plus I love what PSA stands for in terms of the 2nd ammendment and their mission of getting everyone a AR15. Bouns points for being a Veteran owned and operated company. Just got a brand new customer with PSA :) For the record I was a Anti AR15 supporter. Now 100% for the ownership of a AR15 and will be a proud AR 15 owner and a proud GOA Member.
Please, PLEASE, open a store in Missouri so we don't have to deal with the horrible transfer fees locals are putting on PSA orders.
The FFL I use charges $30 per transfer. The guy down the interstate charges $70. The guy down the interstate said that he wants us to buy from him so that's why he charges so much...SMH When you're $200 higher than what I can get it for on line I'm ordering on line. Granted, he carries a lot of higher end firearms and he has a lot of inventory.
As a Missouri resident I agree big time !
Just order the stripped lower or frame and send only that to the ffl… ship the build kit directly to your house. Best way to do it
You should get one of your local FFLs to become a PSA dealer. This will get rid of any middleman mark up and, usually the transfer fee.
@@georgesakellaropoulos8162 PSA has an ffl finder on their site when you order. It’s all mapped out already. PSA is the best!
PSA has been my jam for well over a decade.
Any experience with their AKs and or AAC ammo? Thanks
One day we will get them in Illinois again. A little help from SCOTUS is our only hope right now.
Love PSA,great rifles and pistols.
Edicts of statism have no authority. You are a free individual without rulers.
@@nitsudocsicnarf347 well,we still can’t go to the store and buy what we want. Statist authority or not.
The law that Illinois passed is not only unconstitutional, but nobody is abiding by it
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.
Shout out to psa for being for the people
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.
