Complete List of Firearm Wholesalers in the United States
This is the most complete public list of U.S. firearm wholesalers, maintained by FirearmDistributors.com. We compare live wholesale pricing across all 19+ in real time so FFL dealers can buy smarter.
FirearmDistributors.com is a pricing aggregation platform, not a distributor. We do not sell firearms. We connect FFL dealers with the wholesalers they already buy from and surface real-time pricing across all of them.
Founding dates and HQ states are sourced from each distributor's public information. Where a value cannot be independently verified, the table shows a dash. Always confirm dealer requirements directly with the distributor.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become a firearm dealer in the United States?
To buy from any firearm wholesaler on this list you need a current Federal Firearms License (FFL) issued by the ATF. Apply via ATF Form 7. Most distributors will also require a state sales tax permit, a business address (not residential), and basic financial documentation. Some wholesalers ask for a credit application, references, and a minimum first order.
Do I need an FFL to buy from a firearm wholesaler?
Yes. Every wholesaler on this list sells exclusively to FFL dealers. None will set up an account without a valid Federal Firearms License on file. Accessory-only purchases (no serialized firearms) sometimes have looser requirements at certain wholesalers, but full firearm catalog access always requires an active FFL.
Which firearm distributor has the best wholesale prices?
There is no single best. Prices vary item by item, week by week. RSR Group, Sports South, and Davidson's are often competitive on volume handguns. Lipsey's often wins on Ruger exclusives. Iron Valley and Crow can win on accessories. The only reliable answer is to compare live prices across all of them per-SKU, which is what FirearmDistributors.com does.
