Founder and CEO Peter Pi and his family will no longer be affiliated with the company.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Cor-Bon ammunition has been a family-owned company since its inception. The only CEO the company ever had was Peter Pi, my good friend and colleague. I was just on the phone with him yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of 2017, Cor-Bon was sold to new owners. The Pi family is no longer involved!<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know any of the details of the sale, and I know nothing about the new owners other than that they are new to the ammunition industry. I\u2019m looking forward to meeting them at the SHOT Show later this month.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, nothing is being produced at the Cor-Bon factory in Sturgis, SD, and no one can tell me when production will be resumed, nor what products will be retained and what will be dropped.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>John Farnam goes on to report that Peter Pi&#8217;s oldest son Peter is starting his own ammunition company called Defiant Munitions. They expect to be shipping by mid-year 2018.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never used Cor-Bon ammo but it has always had great recommendations from people I know and trust like Marty Hayes and Michael Bane.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a Farnam&#8217;s Quips post yesterday, Cor-Bon Ammunition of Sturgis, SD has been sold to a new ownership&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":9,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1267,1268,1013,1269],"class_list":["post-537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-cor-bon-ammo","tag-farnams-quips","tag-john-farnam","tag-peter-pi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=537"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11272,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537\/revisions\/11272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
