Devil Dog Arms question

Has anyone ever heard of Devil Dog Arms? I know they were up and going then shut down for falsehoods. Then they started back up but then it seemed like they fell off. I know they were based here in Illinois (used to work not far from them at one point). Last I saw they might have moved to Florida (which would make sense to get away from an anti-2A state).

I think they did a move down there (makes sense). I used to be on there email list. I think they are up and running at some capacity.

never heard of them, and frankly, since unknown, at least to me, i question the quality....afterall, they want high dollars for a gun, where i'd rather spend it on a known company with known quaility like at the very least a Dan Wesson.


then, there is this too, so i'd NOT give them any of my money....even under new ownership.....

once a liar, always a liar...to me.......


Devil Dog Arms is a boutique firearms manufacturer that started producing AR-15 rifles in 2010, taking its name and bulldog logo from the famous U.S. Marine Corps nickname



Founding and Early Years
    • Launch: The company was founded around 2010 by Joe Lucania and Dave Riveke, initially focusing on modern sporting rifles (AR-style platform) before expanding into custom-grade 1911 pistols.
    • The Name: The brand utilized Marine Corps motifs and ethos for its marketing, claiming veteran roots in its leadership. [1, 2, 3]

The 2016 Stolen Valor Scandal
    • The Exposure: In April 2016, co-founder Joe Lucania publicly admitted on social media that he had never served in the military or been a Marine scout sniper—the foundational background upon which the company's military-themed identity was built. [1]
    • The Fallout: The fallout was severe. Investors withdrew financial backing, employees lost their jobs, and production and distribution came to a complete halt. [1]

Reorganization and Return
    • New Management: The brand was rescued by its primary investor, who restructured the company and brought in authentic Marine reconnaissance veterans—including Rudy Reyes and Walt Hasser (known from Generation Kill)—to lead the rehabilitated brand. [1]
    • Current Status: Devil Dog Arms resumed manufacturing with renewed oversight, focusing on custom 1911 pistols, tactical rifles, and parts while relocating its operations to Venice, Florida
