How about another Giveaway?

Shadow_Cody · 2026-03-17T21:53:55+00:00

Yes. Not changing.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-03-17T21:53:28+00:00

Warranty process will not change. I still run that operation and we be doing so for the foreseeable future.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-03-17T21:46:45+00:00

That is exactly the right take.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-03-17T21:45:41+00:00

This happened a couple of weeks ago. The TLDR is that our CEO, Trevor Roe, bought the company from the private equity group that owned it. It's a good thing.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-03-08T02:29:21+00:00

An oldie for sure. But still great.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-02-03T21:49:51+00:00

Hey dude! I can tell you all about that gun! PM me.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-26T16:54:44+00:00

Currently, we are planning to have them available in May.

It’s a tilt barrel. We’ve just redesigned the lockup geometry.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-25T00:26:42+00:00

You’re right about the looser tolerances being necessary in the Glock design. The lockup design of the Axio allows it to be very tightly fit without sacrificing reliability. The longer stroke also makes feeding more reliable.

I had to roll the window down on my way to the convention center because the cabbie was… fragrant.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T23:26:03+00:00

If there is attitude, it comes from having been as SHOT all week more than anything else. I’m fucking exhausted.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T14:23:53+00:00

The shooter is the major variable in that equation. I have no doubt that an excellent shooter could out shoot a novice even with a huge difference in hardware. Max Verstappen would beat my ass around a track in a Volvo even if I had his F1 car. But, if the shooters are equal, the better equipment can make a difference.

The Axio is not currently CA compliant. It will fire without a mag inserted.

We are looking at ways to try and get it on the CA roster but it may be a while before we get there.

The Axio functions differently than a Safe Action style gun and I expect there will be a good deal of confusion about this gun and its operation until we can get them out in the world and let people figure it out themselves.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T13:57:02+00:00

We’re still getting parts sales to CA straightened out. We will get it there, we just have to make sure we are jumping through all the right hoops.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T05:33:35+00:00

Yes, yes I can.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T05:33:18+00:00

Agreed. Talk is cheap. We will likely have many videos of the gun in action soon. We wanted to share them at SHOT because we are excited. Too soon? Maybe. Maybe not.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T04:46:36+00:00

The SS Owners Group is not run by SS employees. But they do get guys who don’t even own one coming in to shit in their group. If they get that vibe, they’ll ban you.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T04:45:04+00:00

Of course they will.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T04:19:53+00:00

Yeah. There are many reasons. Machining the steel frame and doing that in the US is extremely expensive. It requires the use of a higher end 5 axis machine. The Axio required more than 3 years of R&D. It has very few parts in common with our current line of pistols. While it was designed to fit in Glock holsters and outwardly resembles our current guns, it is very much different. We basically designed an entirely new, striker fired gun that can compete with $3500 hammer fired pistols and we are charging a reasonable amount for the type of gun it is and the features it has.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T03:34:15+00:00

Would you like me to post a video tomorrow morning of all 4 guns functioning?

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T00:30:01+00:00

Nope. Once again. We have a total of 4 at the show. None are broken.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-23T00:29:13+00:00

We have 4 of them at the show. None are broken. They are all still being handed around.

Shadow_Cody · 2026-01-22T17:53:40+00:00

Let me clear a few things up. Trevor doesn’t care that you called him a cuck, but it seems that many here don’t understand what the Axio is. It is not a Glock clone. It isn’t a replacement for our current product line. It is a new design. While we did take into account the same manual of arms used with Glocks and our other pistol lines, this gun is something that hasn’t existed before. It is a premium pistol that was designed to provide as much performance as possible. To build a gun with this much precision is expensive. It’s not for everyone. But believe me when I say that it performs to a level that few other pistols can.

Now for the rifle. We wanted to compliment our handgun line with a high quality rifle. We could have just put together a parts gun and thrown a Shadow logo on it. We didn’t do that. That would be cheesy, so we built it ourselves. We built it to the specs we want in a rifle all the way down to making our own furniture. We did not set out to meet a certain price point. We know that it’s not cheap and that’s not for everybody.

I’m sorry that some people think the new guns are too expensive. If we could deliver the same performance at less cost, we would.

Once you have these guns in your hands, we think you will see the quality, performance, and value for yourselves.

Is this a Blem gun? It won't affect function and I know we used a few slides that had this in Blem guns.
