Kinetic Development Group (KDG), a leader in innovative firearm accessory solutions, is proud to announce the onboarding of Dirty Bird Industries as a new authorized KDG dealer. With a well-established brick-and-mortar storefront in Bakersfield, California, and a strong national e-commerce presence, Dirty Bird Industries further expands the ways end users can access KDG products both in person and online.
Founded by brothers Jay and Dustin Pitcher, Dirty Bird Industries has grown from a small garage-based operation into a respected, family-owned retailer and manufacturer known for its American-made AR-15 components, firearms, and accessories. Their Bakersfield retail location has become a destination for shooters seeking hands-on expertise, quality parts, and professional services, while their online store serves customers nationwide.
"We're excited to welcome Dirty Bird Industries into the KDG dealer family," said Chris Bardugone, Director of Sales & Marketing at KDG. "Dirty Bird has built a strong reputation by focusing on quality products, knowledgeable customer support, and a genuine connection with their customers. That approach aligns perfectly with how we support our dealers and end users."
The addition of Dirty Bird Industries underscores KDG's continued investment in expanding its authorized dealer network, ensuring shooters have more options to purchase KDG products through trusted retailers. This onboarding coincides with the continued rollout of KDG's new Dealer Locator, designed to make it easier than ever for customers to find local and online outlets carrying KDG products.
"Every time we bring on a dealer like Dirty Bird, it means more accessibility for the end user," Bardugone added. "Whether someone wants to walk into a shop and put hands on our products or order online with confidence, our goal is to meet them where they are."
KDG is also encouraging current dealers who are already selling KDG products—but may not yet be listed—to reach out and ensure they are included in the Dealer Locator.
"Our dealer locator is a powerful tool, but it only works if our partners are visible," Bardugone said. "If you're carrying KDG products and don't see your business listed, we want to fix that. It's a simple step that helps drive customers directly to our dealers."
