Pop on over to https://palmettostatearmory.com/shotshow2025 to cast your vote on the next wave of firearm releases! Once you are done, head back over here and join the conversation. We think we have some exciting new things planned!
First of all, I’m a PSA fan overall. I own quite a few items from y’all.
Second of all, I support you making what YOU want to make. Your company, run it your way, make what excites you.
That throat clearing out of the way, almost nothing here interests me. What I most want is a .45 and a .22 Dagger (or MicroDagger in the .22 case) that takes G21 mags in the former case. The .380 MicroDagger is…a choice I guess. I mean it might be cheaper and better than hunting down a G25 but that just means stockpiling .380 ammo in addition to everything I have. So I don’t know what the demand there is going to be for others.
I actually struggled to find 3 items I wanted to vote for this year. I guess I don’t have access your feedback data but it sure doesn’t seem like you’re listing items anyone is actually asking for…with a couple of exceptions.
Copied my reply from the SHOT thread…
Voted for the 570 semi auto, the Dagger Micro .380, and the PA .22.
Biggest change from last year is that I left the Emerge off. I still want it, but I feel like PSA should focus heavily on the above three.
The semi-auto market is dying for affordable options, which is why people keep trying the Turkish guns. The M4 and 1301 are fantastic, but a lot of people can’t spare $1,500-2,400 for a shotgun. Even the A300 Ultima at 1k would stretch them.
The Dagger .380 because micro-9s suck to shoot. Maybe not a popular opinion, but micro .380s are significantly softer to shoot and therefore quicker to make fast and accurate follow-up shots, which I think is important (and very overlooked) on what are supposed to be self-defense carry pistols. At typical self-defense ranges of 3-10m, you aren’t losing much ballistically wirh .380 vs 9 in a micro barrel, but you’re gaining a lot of shootability.
The .22 purely because the Ruger 10/22 (fantastic rifle that it is) doesn’t have enough competition and the more readily available .22s out there, the more people that can be comfortably introduced to shooting and more affordable practice for everyone else.
X9 mac look is cool, B&T or Glock mags are not. Why not use the H&R Colt style mags? it would be nice to be able to use those on literally any other gun and help keep that pattern alive.
Vuk9, shotgun pa22
Shotgun
22
Sabre-11
I voted x-9, 570, and the thumper.
Forget glock mags on the X9 though, I want it to take scorpion mags.
I like to see all the cool stuff y’all come out with and after the initial teething period they’re usually pretty solid built firearms. I like the new x9 mp9 looking concept especially with the b&t mag look. A semi auto 50 that poor ppl can get yes please, and while 338arc is interesting I’d like to see a 8.6blk AK honestly or something with that faster twist barrel. I really wish I saw the stg44 concept again, if ever possible bring that thing back from the grave because that would sell so good I know it.
Its a 2011 Jammo.
I’m a weirdo, and there’s a huge difference between what I think is “cool” and what will sell well.
I think the Saber11 and 9mm PCC’s will sell the best, even though there’s a lot of competition. But personally, I like the 380 and the 570.
That would look weird AF with scorpion mags
. I think the b&t mags look dope cuz it’s very mp9 esc
Disappointing you feel that way for sure. Almost all of the items are direct requests from the consumers - particularly the “2011”, .22lr, x57 (x9), shotguns and bolt guns. Outside of a .22 / .45 dagger, what would your suggestion be?
I felt like we were really on it this year!
MSP-45, Sabre-11, And I’m torn between the 570 semi auto and Jakl Precision.
Double stack whatever, still a 1911 to me
Just wanted to ask, what does the Thumper do again ?
I sent the poll to my friend and he asked me about it and I have no idea.
I am personally most excited for an affordable 570 myself. Followed by the 2011 because its just the coolest thing ever. 3rd runner up is a .22 because I just got my can and have been introduced to the world of subsonic shooting. Need more .22s now… lol
I would just hop on buying an stg44 clone and possibly a u.s. made g36 clone and ump45. Just some gun nerd suggestions. I really am interested in the x9 mp9 look though especially if it’s delayed blowback or roller for nice suppression. ![]()
X9 by far. Can pretty much guarantee I’d buy one if it comes out like that. I’ve been wanting a compact 9mm pdw with a recoil system that doesn’t suck. That being said don’t worry about what window shoppers think looks cool and go with the practical option that will help it sell. Meaning ditch overpriced novelty mags and go with what’s cheap that everyone already owns. Most asked question for every pcc is “does it take glock mags” for a reason. 90 degree mags also make every pdw super unpleasant to hold anyway.
