In an industry where dealers are lucky to make 6% to 9% on a new firearm sale—a far cry from the 15-30% margins of decades past—every dollar counts. FirearmDistributors.com was built by someone who’s been in the data feeds business for years and understands firsthand the shortfalls that distributors leave dealers with. This platform is part of a comprehensive system of tools designed to help FFLs maximize profits in today’s challenging market.
The Reality of Modern Firearms Retail
The internet has fundamentally transformed the firearms industry over the past 20 years. Customers walk into stores with smartphones showing the lowest price they found online. Meanwhile, manufacturers are scrambling to keep buyers interested, launching new brands and product lines to catch the consumer’s eye in an increasingly competitive marketplace. After three to four years of significant inflation, many firearms have reached price points that challenge both dealers and consumers.
Real Example: A $250+ Opportunity You’re Missing
Here’s what most dealers don’t realize: distributor pricing varies wildly. Take the Winchester XPR SR in 6.8 Western (part number 535732299, UPC 048702022104)—a quality rifle with the Grayboe Renegade Long Range stock. Right now, Lipsey’s has it for $599, while the next best distributor price is $849. That’s a $250 difference on a single firearm! You could sell this rifle at $749, beat every competitor by $100, and still make $150 more profit than if you’d sourced it from anyone else. Or price it at full market value and pocket the entire $250 diference. These aren’t rare exceptions—these massive spreads exist across thousands of SKUs every single day. The dealers finding them are the ones thriving.
Real-Time Intelligence for Real-World Selling
FirearmDistributors.com aggregates pricing and availability from all major distributors into one searchable interface. This is especially powerful for brick-and-mortar stores. When a customer walks in asking about a specific firearm, you can instantly search across all distributors, find the best dealer cost, check real-time availability, and quote a competitive price on the spot. No more telling customers “let me check and get back to you” while they walk out to buy online.
