Looks like its owned by Primary Arms. So maybe a replacement for PA's Expo arms brand that seems to have less and less in stock lately? https://www.trademarkia.com/precision-defense-97546094 |

https://precisiondefense.us/about-us/ Did Primary Arms buy this company? Or are there two companies using the same name? |

| I have the 10.3 and 11.5 barrels that were of the Expo branding and they have been very good for what they are. The fit of the receiver extension is tight into most receivers, the finish is good, and the chrome lining is very nice. Accuracy on both barrels is decent as I have been able to get both of them out to 500 yards with a redo dot and magnifier, not sub MOA or anything, but definitely combat/duty grade accuracy which is what's to be expected. I would prefer a smaller than 0.070 gas port, but that's just me being picky. When these two barrels wear out, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the Precision Defense versions. |
