I've seen a few people here mention Troy in a negative light. This came as a surprise to me because I haven't heard anything but good things about their products. Did something go down that I'm unaware of?

 

 

 

Though now I need to check up on my ambi-mag release that's been on back-order...

hired an anti gun former cop as in their training dept. then quickly let him go after backlash from the public. then they hired the second sniper that was at ruby ridge to their training dept. he seems like a grade a asshole from what i've read about him. the only reason he didn't shoot is because Lon Horiuchi got the shot off first. i believe the founder/owner admitted the first one was a mistake but defended hiring of the ruby ridge sniper.

 

i'm kinda upset that i own their products now but i bought all my stuff before this happened. i won't be buying from them again.

I didn't even know enough to know what to Google! lol

 

Thanks PB for the summary. Don't know if it's enough to have me boycott them but it's definitely unnerving.

I was just messing around, I didnt even know till a couple weeks ago

Shame about this bc their products are great. Wont be tossing anything ive bought but duno about future purchases.

They've taken a ton of heat over it.  During SHOT, I overhead comments about it in their booth while I was looking at their new stuff.  It's too bad since their carbon fiber handguard looks like a winner but their brand is so tarnished, sales will undoubtedly suffer. The promotional emails I got had the steepest discounts of all vendors that I either talked to or got emails from.  But none of my dealer friends nor I bit.

Interesting to hear this feedback from someone on the wholesale side.  So to me this says - We know sales are slumping, we are going to give you additional discounts to entice you to buy our products, but we won't fire the guy who is causing all of these PR issues in the first place.  Just doesn't make sense to me.  

dam...i hadn't heard this. glad i don't own any of their stuff....and will now not look at it.....

 Just doesn't make sense to me.

 

The conclusion I come to is .....they really don't care... aren't truly 2a advocates...and like politicians/big business/zuckerberg think that their subjects/customers are,to quote zuckerberg, "dumb f*#%s" http://gawker.com/5636765/facebook-ceo-admits-to-calling-users-dumb-fucks and will forget tomorrow what they do today...prime example the threads on here patronizing dicks... Lol

They canned the guy pretty quick.

 

Troy has stepped on their dicks twice but they have also refused to deal with Anti-2A companies. They are not on my shit list. If you guys don't buy their gear then there is more for me.

I dont like the guy they hired. They probably hired him due to Gov contacts which is the reason they wont fire his butt. They want Govt money which would dwarf ours.

They are rolling the dice.

Who did they not fire? They fired the coward of Chicago (J-Fled)

the spotter in the ruby ridge debacle

I think the person being referred to is the would be Ruby Ridge sniper they hired last year and have not let go despite lots of bad press.  

Wow I didnt know this.... and I was a big fan of theirs.... liked their stuff and have many items on my projects...... I guess I will have to reconsider....
