One Year After Closing Down: Has US Palm Risen From The Dead?

Logan

A year ago, US Palm, a very much familiar name amongst airsoft players through the airsoft versions of their magazines for AK AEGs, announced on social media that they were shutting down. Citing downsizing economy, industry instability, and internal factor, they decided to discontinue their business. While indeed they have gone out of business, some of their designs were carried on by Armor, Express Wilderness Tactical Products, and K-9EDGE.

But they never closed down their Facebook page since they posted their farewell message to fans and costumers last August 6, 2017. Last Thursday, the 6th of September, someone with access to post on their Facebook page posted an image of human arm that has broken out of a grave with a headstone showing the logo of US Palm and the years 2009-2017, the years the company was in business as in the photo above.

Obviously, it signals a rising from the dead. So does this mean the US Palm has been pulled from the grave and being revived to resume business? Many following the company on Facebook certainly hope so given the comments they made on the post.

The post was just the image and no text accompanied it confirm that it is back from the dead. There is nothing to see at their website so for now we can just speculate. The image of course is a positive indicator and it is a welcome development given than US Palm has given the AK rifle a cooler look with its products such as the Battle Grip and AK30 Magazine.

There will be questions if the company will be run by the same owners or taken over by another group.

PTS Syndicate holds the license from US Palm to distribute airsoft versions of their products. If you check their online store, the PTS Steel Shop, the US Palm products are mainly sold out with just the AK Battle Grip for Gas Blowbacks still available. We might expect stocks to be refreshed again if they are still allowed to carry on by the risen US Palm.
