Palmetto State Armory

SHOT Show 2026 brought a first look at Palmetto State Armory’s AXR SSP (Short Stroke Piston) series. PSA reps report that the AXR SSP platform is being developed based on user feedback from the Jackal 2.0.

When it comes to truck guns, versatility, reliability, and ease of use are paramount. The PSA JAKL 5.56 Rifle has been hailed by others as an excellent choice for these criteria, and I was eager to put it to the test.

Whether you’re looking for a dependable handgun for self-defense or a versatile firearm for various applications, the PSA 5.7 Rock is up to the task.

After putting approximately 5,000 rounds through it, between the range and hunts, I can confidently say that this rifle stands out as a budget rifle in both reliability and performance.

In a gripping standoff last night, deputies arrested Benjamin Mercer Jr., who found himself barricaded inside an apartment on Pineland Avenue.

Less than a year after announcing their first handgun offering—the Dagger—the South Carolina company is set to release three new handguns: a subcompact Dagger, a full-size Dagger, and a 5.7mm handgun called “The Rock.”

Palmetto State Armory, or PSA, is proud to add another 100-series style of AK-pattern rifle to their lineup with the PSA AK-105.

Palmetto State Armory has been teasing it for years, but it looks like they’re finally set to release an MP5 clone. Partnering with their sister company Lead Star Arms, PSA hopes to release their MP5 in the next few months, and Lead Star reps we spoke with at SHOT Show 2020 say it’ll be less expensive than the competition.

Pistol caliber carbines are fun and cheap to shoot and it doesn’t hurt that they are chambered in 9mm Luger, one of the most popular centerfire round in the world. This makes them great companion carbine for shooters who already own a 9mm pistol.
