Just because they will sell I say you have to have a good selection of Uncle mike's, Galco and Blackhawk Serpa Holsters. Even though it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
My buddy who has a shop says he can't buy enough cheap tomahawks and machetes with Zombie bio hazard sticker on them and anything zombie commands extra mark up because people will pay for it. You need to have a varied selection of firearms for all budgets because what you think is cool and worth the money Joe Smith keeping it in his sock drawer may not. Hi-points sell well for a number of reasons. My buddy has accounts with Ellett Bros and Jerrys Sports Center and Southern Ohio Gun and CDNN |

RSR is king for us.
Also Ellett Brothers, Sports South, Lipseys, Davidsons, Bangers, Zander's and MGE are others to look into. |

Avoid distributors that also sell at the retail level.

What is the best way to set up payment arrangements with those listed here? I'll be a kitchen table dba, and have a debit and credit card I had planned on using, but read that many charge 3% this way. Are there other options that won't cut into profits?
And the waiting begins.. Thx |

You also won't get free shipping, so you're pretty much not competitive immediately. |

whats wrong with lipseys and MGE? We don't use MGE because they are cash and carry, but Lipseys has been solid for us, especially on NFA items.

I only plan to inventory a handful to start, so not looking for terms, but wanted to get set up to pay without any fees.. I'll continue training retrievers, so this will be bonus income more service related than competitive. |

Called my friend there and asked if it was true. He is pretty mad and stands to lose a few good accounts. The irony is RSR got its start in a garage and has catered to kitchen table dealers for years.
