[ARCHIVED THREAD] - FFL holders....Who's your favorite distributor? (and why)

Posted: 4/18/2006 5:50:49 PM EDT

I've just recieved my FFL, and am going to have to start my business slowly, but I need a good source to buy my guns. I'll be working out of my home to start, and unfortunately will not be able to buy in quantity. Of course, I want it all from a distributor.....good service, good prices, large selection, and if they accept credit cards that would be a bonus. I've found a few that will only sell to stocking dealers.....I'm in the "kitchen table" mode for now. Also, I'm in the Kansas City, MO area if that matters.

Thanks, Greg

We buy mostly from Ellett Brothers but you have to have a storefront. I think you might be able to get stuff from Jerry's Sports Center, I'm pretty sure they take Credit Cards.

RSR group works out well if you can get good terms with them.

Jerrys takes credit cards, so does RSR and Sports South. Just be prepared to pay a "premium" for using them. Its SO much easier to get a account with them like net 30

Jerry's Sports is in Spring Hill, KS so not a far trip from you can actually drive to pickup heavy items like ammunition.

I used Jerry's the most thier prices are cheaper than Davidson's or RSR, but Jerry's will screw you on shipping sometimes, RSR has a more fair shipping policy.

If you are going to sell cheap crap guns, then order those from davidsons as all guns they sell have lifetime warranty.

Thanks for the replies. I think Jerry's Sport Center might be a good place to start since they're only 88 miles from me.....would only have to pick up a couple guns to make the drive worthwhile. All suggestions welcome!

I use Jerrys a lot for the new stuff. The used stuff comes from all over.

Williams, Quincy, IL. Very friendly to small dealers.
Jerry's/Outdoor Sports/et al. Not bad.
Ellet Bros, Davidson's. Don't bother.
Ron Shirk, PA. Decent.

Most charge an extra 3% for CC. I prefer Checkfax if possible. Or straight mailorder.
