Description
West Palm Beach might be known for sunshine and surf, but US Palm is making waves of a different kind for 2026. They’ve stepped out from their legendary AK accessories and soft goods to launch a full firearm and suppressor line, and the pistol leading the charge is the US Palm Storm. Chambered in the potent and modern .99 caliber, this isn’t a range toy—it’s a serious, duty-ready handgun built from the ground up for shooters who demand performance without compromise. For our customers here in Santa Fe, that means a locally available platform that brings next-level engineering to a proven pistol form factor, ready for everything from desert carry to dynamic training.

Why We’re Stocking This
When the announcement for the US Palm Storm hit my desk, I paid attention. We’ve carried US Palm magazines and grips for years because they’re simply tough as nails. Their move into complete firearms, especially with a new caliber like .99, signals they’re playing for keeps. We’re stocking the US Palm Storm because our shop believes in supporting innovators who prioritize rugged performance over flashy gimmicks. This pistol represents a calculated leap, and from the specs and early engineering notes, it’s built to the standard our customers expect: something that works, round after round, without being a fussy safe queen.
Having handled plenty of “next big thing” releases that fall short, the focused approach on a “duty-ready” foundation for the US Palm Storm is what sold me. It’s designed to be a working tool first. We want to provide that option to shooters and professionals in our area who need a pistol that can serve as a reliable cornerstone of their kit. The fact it’s built to seamlessly pair with their new EOS suppressors means it’s part of a complete, coherent system, which is how serious shooters think.
Who It’s For
- The modern caliber enthusiast who stays ahead of the curve and wants to build proficiency in a potent, new chambering like .99.
- The duty-minded professional or armed citizen seeking a rugged, no-nonsense sidearm designed from the outset for hard use and high reliability.
- The suppressor user looking for a host pistol engineered in tandem with a suppressor line (the EOS series) for optimal performance and compatibility.
- The US Palm gear loyalist who trusts the brand’s quality from magazines and wants to carry that reliability over to a complete firearm platform.
- The technical shooter interested in the potential accuracy benefits of proprietary systems like the Mono-Loc mentioned in the US Palm Storm’s design.
- The prepared individual building a system, appreciating that the US Palm Storm pistol is part of a broader, integrated series of rifles and suppressors for a unified toolset.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is .99 caliber, and is ammo going to be available?
A: The .99 is a new proprietary chambering from New US. While new, major ammunition manufacturers typically follow when a major platform launches with solid backing like US Palm has. We’re already talking to our distributors to ensure we’ll have a steady supply of .99 caliber ammunition alongside the US Palm Storm pistol. It’s designed for modern ballistic performance, and we expect availability to ramp up quickly.
Q: How does the “Mono-Loc system” affect accuracy on a pistol like the US Palm Storm?
A: Based on the technical previews, the Mono-Loc system is engineered to create a more consistent and rigid interface between key components, likely the barrel and frame or slide. In simple terms, more consistency and less flex under fire means better potential accuracy. We’re eager to get the US Palm Storm on our bench to test this system ourselves, but the principle is sound and used in other precision firearms.
Q: Is the US Palm Storm optics-ready?
A: The initial announcement focuses on the core durability and accuracy systems. Many modern duty pistols come optics-ready, and given the “duty-ready” description of the US Palm Storm, it would be a logical feature. We will confirm specific optic mounting specifications as soon as we have the physical pistol in our hands for inspection.
