US Palm Closes Doors After 8 Years In Business

Gungho Cowboy

Another company familiar to airsoft players has to close doors after 8 years business. US Palm announced on Facebook that they are shutting down and has already made its website inaccessible. Checking their website, the visitor will get an Error 403, which means access to the company website is forbidden.

US Palm is in airsoft by licensing its products to PTS Syndicate, especially its polymer AK magazine, the AK30. Many gunsmiths that  do customization of AK AEGs always grab a PTS US Palm AK30 magazine as a final touch to their custom airsoft AKs.

Apart from polymer AK magazines, US Palm also produces other gear such as grips, and body armour. Available to airsoft players via PTS Syndicate apart from the AK30 airsoft magazine are the AK Battlegrips for both AEGs and Gas Blowbacks.

We do not know if PTS Syndicate will continue US Palm products for the airsoft market with the news and who also gets to own any intellectual property of the company as part of the liquidation process.

Below is the full statement as posted on their Facebook Page:

US PALM was a great experience, and we hope we contributed as much as we received. But in the end, a downsizing economy, industry instability, and internal factors all lined up and dealt us the final coup de gras.

Moving forward we're happy to say that some of our designs will be finding new homes, while others will be lost in the process.

On that note, please consider liking and following our industry associates who will be continuing on in our spirit of providing outstanding innovative gear, and offering a select handful of our more enduring designs under their label:

Armor Products, vests and packs: Armor Express
Bags, pouches, Cargo Cuffs, etc. Wilderness Tactical Products
K9 items: K-9EDGE

I can't sum up my feelings more succinctly on deciding to finally pull the pin, better than to quote Vince Lombardi:

"Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good."

Have a good 'un, and Happy Trails.
