Well, if you hear the story from the current owners of Triton, everything is fine. In fact they are expanding their marketshare and reaching out to other ammo companies to sub out production.
To clearly see the truth of the matter one only needed to see the Triton booth at this past SHOT Show. Known as the “black hole”, they had a ten foot by ten foot area of black carpet. That was it. No one to run the booth and nothing to display.
Reality is the company was pretty much out of business when I left in July of 2002. When Schmit left Triton shortly thereafter things only got worse. When Dave Sevigny left they were left with no full time employees at the production facility. Their CEO resigned his position. Then their sales guy (right after being promoted to CEO) was fired. Right before leaving their salesman blew out a bunch of the remaining ammo inventory to a dealer in FL, so there is some ammo available. I believe another place in West Virginia also got a bunch of the remaining ammo.
I hope ATK or one of the other major ammo companies picks up the Quik-Shok patents from Tom Burczynski.
On a brighter note, welcome to the site!
