Palmetto State Armory’s story began in 2008, when Iraq War veteran and CPA Jamin McCallum, seeking a new direction after returning from deployment, started selling ammunition and magazines online from his garage in South Carolina. With the help of his brother Josiah and a small team, PSA quickly expanded, moving from a garage to a 40,000-square-foot warehouse as demand soared. The company’s early success was driven by a commitment to affordable pricing and a vision to put quality firearms in the hands of everyday Americans. As PSA grew, it began manufacturing its own AR-15 and AK-pattern rifles, eventually acquiring other manufacturers and expanding its product range to include handguns, shotguns, and a vast array of parts and accessories. Overcoming challenges such as rapid scaling, supply chain hurdles, and industry skepticism, PSA established itself as a disruptive force in the firearms market. Major milestones include the launch of their own branded firearms, the acquisition of additional manufacturing capabilities, and the implementation of a direct-to-consumer sales model that bypassed traditional distribution channels. Today, PSA is recognized for its innovation, reliability, and unwavering mission to maximize American freedom, with millions of units produced and a loyal customer base nationwide[1][2][3][4][6].
