Palmetto has came a long way. I especially love their message about how they want to just provide guns to the society at a good price to normalize gun ownership. Good stuff bro!!!
After buying a Ak 47 from PSA to run through a grinder....the only thing that broke was the Magpul stock it came with. Replacement stock sometime later and still works great after abuse. PSA AR builds from friends however have catastrophically malfunctioned but I do hope PSA corrected a lot of issues from years ago.
Gonna go ahead and say it, PSA has revolutionized the AK in the United States. No longer is it a POS Century or a 1600 Rifle dynamics or something alike. Now if you have 6-700, you can own a quality forged trunnion AK. Much love.

I've been eyeing them since they came out. I wish I had gotten one a few months ago, it's hard to justify the purchase right now though. Plus, I'm still conflicted on whether to get one of these pistols from PSA or the carbine version from K-USA. Both seem to be great guns with different strengths and weaknesses. I'll decide to go one way or the other, take one last look at the one I decided not to get, and im back where I started. It's actually ridiculous lol.
@@boomerisadog3899 I have the CZ Evo 3 S1 and since I use the AK-V mags for it, it seems to make sense for me to actually get the thing., 2 weapons with the same magazines= awesome. But It's a difficult choice. best of luck
@@gabeballinger375 it really depends on what you're looking for. But I absolutely love it. Mine's completely outfitted with all the HB Industries extras the only thing left to do is put a new trigger pack in and with the Sig Romeo 5 I put on the top I'm smacking 8in and 4in steel targets at 80 yards the firearm itself is extremely well-made and the extras that are out there for it just make it sew much more. And honestly is far as maintenance and where things of that nature, it breaks down into four pieces for cleaning and there's very few small intricate little Parts like as opposed to the Sig MPX. It is a bit heavy but I love mine I got mine at at a deal and I got it before it the price went up to $1,200 so if you can find one around 8 to 9 you're doing fine I think. Let me know if you get one and I hope you love it as much as I do if not try to go find somebody that has one and get a chance to shoot it. Probably be the best way to answer that question but I think it is
DON'T. I bought a PSA 8" Gen4 and it smashes every round into the wall below the chamber. This pushes the bullet further into the casing, causing over pressurization. I even had one round EXPLODE in the chamber and I'm fortunate to not get hurt. I've sent it back twice now, and they just pretended to diagnose and fix it, then sent it back in the same condition. This company has some questionable quality control. They have rampant issues with models of their other pistols. I wouldn't risk buying their stuff if I were you.
Thank You for this, These Guys at PSA Really Deserve Praise for the way they approach their Business ,They really are shooters producing Great Toys for Shooters! with your Props even More!
Mason Litchfield I was proud when, in a shot show interview, he said that their production and low prices were their form of pro-gun activism; literally doing what they can to get quality firearms in more people’s hands.
Swiat34 mid pandemic comment in July 2020- they have doubled their price on everything. A nitride build kit is replaced by a phosphate kit at twice the price with no chrome lining. A single upper is $600 plus. Im a PSA fan but they’re fucking anyone and everyone looking for a gun.
Houston Byrne yeah they’ve kinda gouged us :( , I understand supply and demand but $900 for an AKV that they were selling for $700 and $600 for a $250 upper with no BCG. I’m willing to pay the fucking BAND for this stupid AK but that’s just cause I want the damn thing! Psa brings quality
@@billjacon4527 $1000 for a 9mm pistol, *not* supporting the poors. Much as I want a 9mm carbine, I will not pay as much as high-end AR and carry as much weight as a cheap AR. Ill just use an AR. Disgusting as it is, the HiPoint carbines are about the only reasonable value, on the market. The SUB2000 is crap, even for a piece of junk(and costs as much as an AR) About the only one Ive seriously considered, is a CX4, but its still overpriced and heavy, compared with an AR. I want to try a Ruger PCC, but cant find one to shoot... and still overpriced, though much more practical, than any of the others. For my money, I bought a used Rossi M92, for a very good price and mated it with a Dan Wesson 357 I traded with a buddy, for a transmission.

My Friend bought one three weeks ago, can`t get through a single 35rd mag without a malfunction. The AKV will fire, eject, chamber the next round, but the hammer has followed through and does not fire the chambered cartridge. 8 different brands of 9mm, and it still does this when you least expect it. For whatever reason, the disconnector is not catching the hammer on recoil. Plus the roll pin that retains the firing pin fell out and disappeared. so the firing pin is stuck out the back of the bolt carrier on top of the hammer. I fixed that with the roll pin from an AR bolt, the one that holds the ejector in, same size and length. Still intermittently and unexpectedly misfires. PSA was contacted a week ago, no response yet. Disappointing that my friend cannot rely upon this weapon for self defense. You never know when, throughout a mag, that this will happen. Sometimes it does this two or three times in a row.
I am looking into my first pcc pdw sub gun, dont know what to get or caliber. will be running suppressed. some that are on my radar: b&t ghm and apc cmmg banshee sig mpx this thing any advice
@@brighthought11 If always running suppressed, then 45acp would be a good choice since the round is subsonic. You would not have to source specifically subsonic ammo for it.
@@GarandThumb I believe you are the only reviewer I have ever seen to disclose that when you are supplied a gun for review that it is likely "cherry picked". It is pretty much guaranteed that they only would send one for evaluation that has been completely gone through and tuned to ensure that it will perform flawlessly as they have a vested interest in presenting it in the best possible light. This practice has led me to view these reviews with a lot less credibility as there can be a wide difference between the model reviewed and the one anyone else would buy off the shelf, which is the world the rest of us live in. I have to wonder how many folks may have purchased something based in a large part on a positive review or video only to find that the one they got didn't perform nearly as well as the one in the review. I am not naive enough to think this practice is going to stop, especially when there's money involved, but do appreciate you mentioing that the sample you are reviewing might not be representative of the one others might get off the shelf, thank you.
@@AlphaMachina That's good that they would replace the gun, which in the long run might be better than just the part. Its understandable that someone messed up big time at PSA, but even without someone having signed off on the QA stamp (protect the guiilty?) a new gun shouldn't have well used parts in it. I bought a Taurus G2C that had problems right out of the box and sent it back as a virtually brand new gun and got it back with an old used barrel without even a serial number on it. Stupid me for expecting them to stand behind their product, so PSA is already ahead of them by offering to replace it with a new one this time.
I'm a huge AK fanatic (considering my username 😂😂) and I really really want one of these. I don't give a damn who makes it as long as it isn't Century Arms or IO 😂😂
PSA has come a long way over the past decade, while keeping prices low. A Daniel Defense or BCM will be smoother operating and better machined for sure, and have better and faster customer service, too, but the quality increase with PSA is making the decision to spend 2-3x more for a BCM a more difficult one. For 99% of people, I say get the PSA, spend the savings on ammo and training, and outgun everyone else with it.
The intros get me everytime. For a second I though you were going to truly be attacked by that boy. I'm was so scared for you. :( glad it wasn't reall.

I feel like most of the flak they get are from the Gucci gun crowd who think anything on $1k is crap. I got an AR10 from them and its damn solid and for under $800 the only thing I replaced was the trigger. Also.....he did review the stribog
All I need is that with a suppressor and a fore-grip, loaded with AP 6.3 and I can finally truly live my dreams of being a USEC operator abandoned in a Novorussian shithole Edit: Nothing to see here ATF, I meant an Angled Fore Grip.
@@FirearmEnthusiast I almost dived out of my chair in abject terror, but then I realized my door is closed and thus I am completely immune to drunk Russian civilians with AKs.
I told my brother 9mm was more expensive than 40 and I got an M&P 40c and bought 150 rounds for just 80 bucks 165 grain and 180 grain FMJ Speer Lawman and Winchester. He kept telling me 9mm was cheaper because everyone has it, well on the contrary there is a markup due to the situation in the states because it is a popular round! 40 is getting by without that massive markup, I've been seeing 50 round boxes 9mm sitting around $70 to $100 it's ridiculous
“With the magazines, we have steel reinforcements on the feed lips....there you go” 🤣🤣 awesome. Keep it up man. Love your vids. As Pat McNamara always says “make it habitual, rock n roll”
You should own at least one. Train to use it well. At least for home defense and to keep in your vehicle. It may save your life one day. When your life is on the line and seconds count, the police are only minutes away, but a handgun can be within arms reach.
Palmetto state armory is great at doing things I didn't were possible. Like I didn't know you could have a canted front sight on an AR15, but that didn't stop them from figuring it out. All jokes aside I do like the company and think they are really neat. I have 2 PSA beater rifle/pistol and I enjoy them.
My sights were dead on out of the box too. Easiest red dot sighting in that I’ve ever done. I just put the dot on top of the front post and it too was dead on from the first shot.
My sights were way off out of the box. I had to buy an AK front sight tool. I knew nothing about how to zero an AK because my Ak pistol was dead on out of the box. But I love this gun. It’s still one of my favorites.
I agree! He seems to enjoy how much he loves this gun, partly for how good it is, partly for how many high-end gun snobs will cry about it being a PSA.
PSA low-end is a great way to get into the game for money you could wipe your ass with at sub $400. PSA high-end is making competition fearful because of how much in-house they do. Between the FN CHF barrels, quality enhanced triggers, auto cut lowers and BCGs, nickel-boron triggers and BCGs.... they kick ass now. Go check them out!
What an incredible video! So thorough! I was curious about this gun but now I know it has your stamp of approval, it is on my short list of next gun to buy! Thank you!

they're great guns fore sure
Both are great. Also look into the stribog.
@@hellraiserrec19 Ive heard nothing but bad things about the stribog unless it’s the gen 2 if I’m not mistaken
@@skibooski6884 Yes, from what I've heard the gen1 had some teething issues. The gen 2 seems to be solid though

any advice
@@brighthought11 If always running suppressed, then 45acp would be a good choice since the round is subsonic. You would not have to source specifically subsonic ammo for it.

The start of this video was like a damn Marvel trailer...shit was epic.
and then it got weird with old porn actors and child actors
@@commiesnzombies I'm pretty sure that's a inside joke on the channel.
Cheap magazines, great trigger, reliable , i think this gun might fall into the just buy it category
That's what I just did lol
Literally thinking about buying one right now
Been buying psa since they offered 4 ar15 models! No one knew them! I still use those first bought no issues yet! I’m a big fan!
I can’t get over how good the editing and cinematography is.
No credit for the MAC Bracket??!?!?!? WTF?!?!?!?! 😂 Honest question though, has the tip ever contacted the butt... off camera of course?
😂😂
@@GarandThumb I believe you are the only reviewer I have ever seen to disclose that when you are supplied a gun for review that it is likely "cherry picked". It is pretty much guaranteed that they only would send one for evaluation that has been completely gone through and tuned to ensure that it will perform flawlessly as they have a vested interest in presenting it in the best possible light. This practice has led me to view these reviews with a lot less credibility as there can be a wide difference between the model reviewed and the one anyone else would buy off the shelf, which is the world the rest of us live in.
I have to wonder how many folks may have purchased something based in a large part on a positive review or video only to find that the one they got didn't perform nearly as well as the one in the review. I am not naive enough to think this practice is going to stop, especially when there's money involved, but do appreciate you mentioing that the sample you are reviewing might not be representative of the one others might get off the shelf, thank you.
@@AlphaMachina That's good that they would replace the gun, which in the long run might be better than just the part. Its understandable that someone messed up big time at PSA, but even without someone having signed off on the QA stamp (protect the guiilty?) a new gun shouldn't have well used parts in it. I bought a Taurus G2C that had problems right out of the box and sent it back as a virtually brand new gun and got it back with an old used barrel without even a serial number on it. Stupid me for expecting them to stand behind their product, so PSA is already ahead of them by offering to replace it with a new one this time.
Your gauntlet test rocks!
@@wilycoyote9091 rest assured, if you buy this system, you will be pleased. I bought mine 1027, I love it, and we've got a great group on FB.

Mine shipped today. Ordered it last Monday. I cant wait to get it been watching this video over and over.
Your intro are always getting Deep into my feelings..
One of the coolest 9mm Carbines I've ever seen.
I'll never forget watching your earlier videos and being so inspired by them.
Im convinced that if this didnt say “Palmetto State Armory” on it, all the AK guys would be creaming their pants
Well duh, everyone knows you gotta spend $3500 on a Daniels Defense to shoot 20 yards away really fast to be an operator
I love mine. And I'm a huge ak fan
I'm a huge AK fanatic (considering my username 😂😂) and I really really want one of these. I don't give a damn who makes it as long as it isn't Century Arms or IO 😂😂
I love AKs and PSA is doing it right.
Not sure where you're looking...but the AK guys are all over this (and most of the other PSA AK stuff).
You've earned that like because of that intro, greetings from gun-controlled Germany

@@larptm9083 bruh what's going on with all these usernames??😂
PSA has come a long way over the past decade, while keeping prices low. A Daniel Defense or BCM will be smoother operating and better machined for sure, and have better and faster customer service, too, but the quality increase with PSA is making the decision to spend 2-3x more for a BCM a more difficult one.
For 99% of people, I say get the PSA, spend the savings on ammo and training, and outgun everyone else with it.
Dont knock psa customer service they have proven they will make good in any issues
Lol psa always answers my questions first day, and if i contact them through my ffl, they provide extra service 💯
The intros get me everytime. For a second I though you were going to truly be attacked by that boy. I'm was so scared for you. :( glad it wasn't reall.
That was his sleep paralysis demon.

Watched this 3 years ago, and watching again, I still say GODDD DAAAAAAAMNNNNNN that intro!!!!!
Never thought I'd see you geek out over a PSA, but they have been absolutely killing it lately.
The whole Ron Jeremy/ Macaulay Culkin thing will NEVER get old hahaha
Thata the only thing i habe to love for :)
Need the piano song name tho
Unlike Macauley Culkin who got very old very quick...

Just made the AKV my first ever gun purchase.
👏👏👏👏👏
Second purchase, sold my first ar, bought this.
0:50
The pure definition of money shot, and a very happy wife.
PSA has been doing some good things.....cant wait for you to get your hands on their MP5 clone whenever it gets released
The intro is the best selling point of this firearm. It's the reason why I bought my AKV
Released 1 min ago, and I'm still not first.
Same dillema
Right
You must be last
First!
0:50 bump firing? The ATF is gonna make you register your trigger finger as a machinegun.
...and 0:25, and 0:45...
Thats one hell of a cyclic rate.
but it doubles as a safety switch
I used to bumpfire my WASR all the time, cannot get it to work on my AR for the life of me.
@@toki89666 Another hooman that has a WASR as a raifu.
The production on garand thumb videos is fuego 🔥
Now this is the vid we've all been waiting for. I bet PSA never thought the AKV would be run this like this.
Considering the CEO uses a tricked out AKV in competition, I'm pretty sure they did.
@@zim3900 key word being tricked out. Not a stock version. You know the CEO has to have the best trigger and the tightest smoothest tolerances of all the AKVs.
There's a akv Facebook group and all the owners have been raving about this gun for the past year or so. The CEO is also very active in it.
@@Crunk_nasty I'll have to check it out. I've had my sights set on one for a while.

Never thought I’d see the day that Daddy Flannel; King of the Ping; Papa NODs... would review ANYTHING PSA
PSA has been knocking it out of the park lately
PSA today isn’t the PSA of a few years ago, they’re getting their shit together. We should be rejoicing.
I feel like most of the flak they get are from the Gucci gun crowd who think anything on $1k is crap. I got an AR10 from them and its damn solid and for under $800 the only thing I replaced was the trigger. Also.....he did review the stribog
Billy Magada the stribog is not PSA
@@bmagada I'm with you, that AR-10 is solid as hell. You can't expect more for under 8 hundred bucks

Y’all remember when 9mm was cheap enough to bump fire? Good times. Think I’ll sell my truck and buy a box to try it out
I told my brother 9mm was more expensive than 40 and I got an M&P 40c and bought 150 rounds for just 80 bucks 165 grain and 180 grain FMJ Speer Lawman and Winchester. He kept telling me 9mm was cheaper because everyone has it, well on the contrary there is a markup due to the situation in the states because it is a popular round! 40 is getting by without that massive markup, I've been seeing 50 round boxes 9mm sitting around $70 to $100 it's ridiculous
@@Beanie-Sandals Exactly why I am getting a 10mm handgun at some point since it was one of the last ones to go off the shelf during the last hu-ha.
“With the magazines, we have steel reinforcements on the feed lips....there you go” 🤣🤣 awesome. Keep it up man. Love your vids. As Pat McNamara always says “make it habitual, rock n roll”
I'd never buy or own a gun, but I love watching people passionate about them, shoot the things.
Another great video. So much win.
Lol buy a gun
You should own at least one. Train to use it well. At least for home defense and to keep in your vehicle. It may save your life one day. When your life is on the line and seconds count, the police are only minutes away, but a handgun can be within arms reach.
What....
I bet you got a drill gun or atleast a hot glue gun dude
mor7im3r - Do you have a fire extinguisher anywhere in your home?
Just do it
Palmetto state armory is great at doing things I didn't were possible. Like I didn't know you could have a canted front sight on an AR15, but that didn't stop them from figuring it out. All jokes aside I do like the company and think they are really neat. I have 2 PSA beater rifle/pistol and I enjoy them.
I just noticed that unchained melody is actually playing in the background, when he's playing with the trigger
My sights were dead on out of the box too. Easiest red dot sighting in that I’ve ever done. I just put the dot on top of the front post and it too was dead on from the first shot.
My sights were way off out of the box. I had to buy an AK front sight tool. I knew nothing about how to zero an AK because my Ak pistol was dead on out of the box. But I love this gun. It’s still one of my favorites.
Dude fellow Devil Dog MOS 0211 just go myself this little gun. I pick it up Monday. Your reviews were essential. Thank you! Semper Fi
I just want to say clearly PSA has done their homework!
I’m tired of girls making fun of my rudimentary hooded front sight
Awesome opening scene. So much fun. I wanted one after just 30 seconds. Thank you so much for all your great videos.

I haven’t seen GarandThumb this happy about a product in a while. 😂 Like I felt the fun he had dripping out of my phone.
I agree! He seems to enjoy how much he loves this gun, partly for how good it is, partly for how many high-end gun snobs will cry about it being a PSA.
PSA low-end is a great way to get into the game for money you could wipe your ass with at sub $400.
PSA high-end is making competition fearful because of how much in-house they do. Between the FN CHF barrels, quality enhanced triggers, auto cut lowers and BCGs, nickel-boron triggers and BCGs....
they kick ass now.
