The Palmetto State Armory Dagger 9 Compact is a Glock 19 clone that can be had for just $300. It splits the difference between a Polymer 80 and a Generation 3 Glock, with a little bit of M&P 9 thrown in for good measure. In this episode of TFBV, Hop reviews the PSA Dagger 9 Compact to see if the savings are really worth it.

AR pistols have become one of the most popular firearm trends in the United States over the last decade or so and I am not immune from the craze myself. While I fully understand the benefits, practicality, and reliability that a standard 16″ or 20″ AR rifle platform offers, there is just some enigmatic draw that AR pistols have that draws me into them. Palmetto State Armory recently sent me over one of their 10.5″ Battlelink AR pistols for testing and evaluation and aside from an LPVO and a sling, I kept the pistol as-is for the entirety of this review. Today we’ll see what PSA is offering with the Battlelink package, how well it came constructed, and how it performed on the range in a variety of tests.

I love a true AR-15 rifle. The classic 20″ barrel with a rifle-length gas tube and rifle recoil system is a joy to shoot. One of my perpetual favorite rifles is an FN M-16A4 Military Collector model topped with a 3.5x ACOG. That rifle accompanies me on almost every range outing. When the opportunity came to test a similarly-configured PSA gun I jumped at the chance. For convenience, in this I will be referring to this rifle as an AR-15A4 after the similarly-configured Colt AR-15A4.

Alright alright, I know you may be surprised to see the guy that talks about old stuff and makes fun of all the tacticool folks out there reviewing a 300AAC Blackout pistol. I will own the fact that I really genuinely am usually disinterested in anything that looks like this but when Palmetto State Armory reached out to TFB, I took the opportunity to work with a caliber and specific pistol offering for a reason; I’ve never shot 300 Blackout. Queue the gasps and shock! Let’s dive right into the PSA PA-15 300AAC Blackout Pistol!

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop tests the Palmetto State Armory PA-10 Gen 3. This rifle is PSA’s take on the AR-10 or LR-308 platform; available with an 18″ or 20″ barrel, and a variety of trigger and handguard options. The out of the box features of the PA-10 are very basic, making it a canvas for aftermarket customization. Of course, none of that matters if it’s not accurate, so in a show of admirable self-restraint, Hop actually did some accuracy testing too. Watch closely to see two photobombing bees.

Welcome everyone to the 94th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

At the Gathering at the Sawmill 2021 which was an event put on by Palmetto State Armory, EOTech teamed up with PSA to showcase the PVS-24, a clip-on night vision device that will soon be made available through PSA to the civilian market.

Palmetto State Armory recently released a 9mm AR-15 pistol that accepts the popular CZ Scorpion EVO 3 magazines.  The new AR-V is similarly named after Palmetto State Armory’s AK-V Kalashnikov 9mm pistol, which also shares the same magazine pattern and 9mm caliber.  The AR-V is currently available as a complete pistol, with either an 8 inch or 10.5 inch barrel, or as a parts kit which includes the upper and lower receivers, bolt, and magazine.  PSA describes their new offering below:

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another Featured Deals of the Quarantine. I’m Benjamin F and without any further ado, some hot deals.

Today’s Photo Of The Day is found on Palmetto State Armory‘s website. It’s one of their AK-P GF3 AK pistols which has a custom paint job to match your Hawaiian urban camouflage and is named  Big Igloo Aloha making it a perfect tool for Aloha State Boogaloo preppers out there.

Palmetto State Armory has always been known for their budget friendly AR-15 rifles and parts kits, they then moved onto AK-47s, then it was AK and AR hybrids. Well now they’ve debuted their own line of pistols. At SHOT Show 2020 they launched their PS9 Dagger pistol.

In the free world, like the United States Of America, companies can freely make and sell products to consumers. Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it is a part of what makes America great. So when Nike decided to kill their plans to release “Betsy Ross” themed sneakers based on one ex-Footballer’s comment, it didn’t bother me in the slightest. Instead, I thought we could focus on the positive news, like the Betsy Ross lower receiver just announced by Palmetto State Armory.

We are in the heat of summer and most of our guns are equally hot, too! Hopefully, everyone is hitting the gun range and sending some lead down range. With the beginning of a new month, we have a new category for our Reader’s Choice Awards! For July, we are asking you what is the “BEST PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine).” We will further explain what we are looking for in a PCC for those who might be unfamiliar, but for now, we want to see a barrage of comments, arguments, and possibly compliments to people’s suggestions of what is the “BEST PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine).”

Another regular at Big 3 East is Palmetto State Armory. This year they brought out their 9mm AK-V. I was intrigued by the 9mm AK ever since it was announced last year. However there were some issues right out the gate. Military Arms Channel and PewPewTactical had issues with the ones they received. To be honest I do not follow them nor the reported issues with the AK-V and only heard about them after Big 3 East. The AK-V that PSA brought out ran flawlessly.
