About The Company
Palmetto State Armory was created by people with a passion for firearms, tactical gear, and the great outdoors. The history of Palmetto State Armory is simple - veteran Jamin McCallum returned from deployment with the same passion and demand for excellence that was instilled in him through the military. He soon noticed that there did not seem to be a customer friendly company available for the everyday gun enthusiast. Starting as just an ammunition and magazine website, PSA has grown into a full service company represented by the website, multiple retail locations, and its own personalized firearms brand. With a dedication to quality and customer service, Palmetto State Armory has their sights set on continued excellence and growth.
