Hopefully this isn’t against the rules but here goes. A friend and lease mate just opened a gun dealership in Fort Worth out of his home. Just thought I would help him get the word out. Thanks

He picked a cool logo!

good luck to him, is hard to get inventory right now

Thank you Colt! He has a friend that has been in the business for awhile. I haven’t heard him complain about having issues yet. When I spoke to him last night he was trying to figure out what to order and what would sell.

Thanks

Bump for a good guy!

If he's a new FFL then he will be VERY low on the allocation food chain. Salesman working at the big distributors are paid by 100% commission so they are going to be reserving popular inventory for their high profile customers (those writing POs $100K and up). Also, many (not all) distributors will not work with home based FFLs. I was in the game, made my scratch and got the eFF out. Good Luck!

👍👍

Using his friends connections, he has 6 distributors and 4 pending. Said he has sold 12 guns this week so far, so guess he is doing ok.

Thanks for your input

Good for him. The logo is greatness. “Huckleberry Arms” would have been sweet with that logo!

Or “Say When Arms”!

Hope he does great. I didnt go to his website yet, I'll have to see what he has in way of a competition .22lr pistol

Thanks Buzz

In all honesty it's really, really bad. I don't understand how in 2021 a new business puts up such a bad website. You'd be better off with no website and just a FB page than a site like that. It may be the greatest gunshop in the world but if that is the face you put on it I'll likely never know. Good luck to him, though.

Ditto on the crappy website.

Lol, low budget I admit. It was free using google. Ideally keeping costs down. Would you rather have him have a fancy high dollar website or pass on savings to his customers?

I would call or submit a request for a quote before passing on judgment on his business!

People these days shop online. His website, like it or not, is a reflection on his business. People will assume crappy website = crappy business.

Unfortunately, your friend is likely in for a disappointing journey. He’s probably about 15yrs late to the game. All the home-based gun shops Ive come across over the years are all gone. Many of the small gun dealers are gone or on their way out. Its far too easy for folks to order online now so if website sucks, then business will suck.
