Firearm Distributors At-a-Glance

The questions FFL dealers actually ask before opening a new account: does this distributor dropship? Do they handle NFA? Will they ship to a residential-address FFL? Below is a side-by-side answer across all 21 distributors FirearmDistributors.com tracks.

We are not a distributor and we are not in the business of ranking distributors against each other. Each is an established business serving FFL dealers in different ways. Dealer-signup links go directly to the distributor's own application page.

What these columns mean

Dropships firearms

The distributor will ship a firearm directly from their warehouse to the receiving FFL on behalf of the dealer. Critical for online retailers who never want to physically touch the product.

Dropships NFA items

The distributor will dropship NFA items (suppressors, SBRs, machine guns) to a receiving SOT-class FFL. Most distributors are conservative here. Always verify SOT class and ATF transfer paperwork status.

Residential FFL OK

The distributor will dropship to an FFL whose business address is a residential address. A growing percentage of newer dealers operate this way. RSR is the one distributor that currently does not.
