What happened to Triton ammo?

Thanks, I found that site already. The phone number goes to different company (perhaps one who bought them out, only got a recording so far), and the copyrights on that page are for 2001 & 2002. No 2003. I'll call them again in the morning and see if I can get a person on the phone.

Thx

I've read elsewhere they are out of business.

Well, let's put it this way- Triton bought space for a booth at the SHOT show this year, but I understand that there was nothing there.

The owners of Triton found out pretty quickly that you can't run an ammo company in Wall Street fashion, with no employees. After the last one left for a job at Glock the plant shut down. They hired an outside salesman to try to blow out as much ammo as possible. Places like Cheaper Than Dirt and gunshops in Florida and West Virginia bought the bulk of the ammo and then began blowing it out at below dealer prices.

The owners then went to an ammo company in FL (Precision Ammo) in an effort to get someone to produce the ammo for them. Instead negotiations went in the direction of Precision buying Triton outright. All of Triton’s production equipment, raw materials, etc. were moved to their facility in FL. If the deal went through you should be seeing the Triton brand back out there.

The question that is left to be answered is what will the quality be like? I am not familiar with their products. Only what their website shows. Maybe someone on this board has heard of them or tried their ammo out.

Triton ammo is "hot" loaded stuff. Good self defense ammo but not a steady diet of it for practice would be recommended.

I meant what the Precision Ammo products are like. Being the founder of Triton I am very familiar with that ammo:D

Triton will never be the same.

After suits take over something... it all goes down hill. Shame.
