Palmetto State Armory AXR – One Serialized Trigger, Endless Configurations?

At SHOT Show 2026, Justin from Palmetto State Armory walks us through the brand-new AXR handgun line—and it might be one of the most modular handgun systems of the year.

The AXR series introduces a modular fire control unit (FCU) where the serialized component follows the trigger assembly. That means you can swap frames, grip sizes, and configurations without changing your serial number or completing another 4473.

Here’s what stands out:

• Micro model compatible with Micro Dagger 15-round mags
• Compact & Full-Size Glock-compatible grip modules (15 & 17 round)
• RMR-cut AXR slides across multiple models
• RMSc footprint on the Micro
• New comp slides
• FS320 variant blending SIG P320 magazine compatibility with Gen 3 Glock slide compatibility
• Metal frame options at launch through a partnership with Icarus Precision
