    How We Chose the Best Online Gun Stores

    The Pew Pew Tactical team has amassed a small arsenal of firearms and most of them are bought online.

    PPT Team Staff
    The Pew Pew Tactical Team

    We buy from all over the place but these are the ones that have been time-tested and team approved.

    Each online vendor has been chosen based on our experience and the following criteria:

    • At least two+ writers or editors have purchased a total of 10+ times from each vendor
    • We have had a 10/10 buying experience
    • Any problems that occurred were addressed and fixed
    • Generally positive online sentiment from social media and forums

    We became enamored with GrabAGun a little bit more recently since they always seemed to have the guns we wanted in-stock when other guys didn’t.

    Now they are our go-to for purchasing guns for having some of the best pricing, FFL database, and shipping speed…in addition to having guns in-stock.

    They tend to keep very popular guns in stock too like your Sig Sauers and your Glocks.

    But we’re also loving that they have a good selection of AK-47s. It’s where I got my Zastava and Arsenal AKs.

    PSA has never failed us.

    Yes, we love PSA’s AR-15s…as well as their other guns. Link to our PSA Review Section.

    PSA 5.56 Uppers

    But did you know Palmetto State Armory now carries tons of popular handguns and rifles too?

    It looks like they get all the new guns right on time.

    CZ Shadow 2

    And sometimes there’s really really good deals on older (but still great) stuff.  My guess is they buy a whole bunch of one thing at a time and pass on the savings.

    Otherwise, I always check out their Gun Deals page to see of any bargains…especially when they have coupon codes for specific guns to bypass pesky manufacture pricing.

    PSA is likely the place where the Pew Pew Tactical has ordered the most number of firearms.

    Known more as “Kygunco” since that’s their website.

    Tons of gun selection with things that are actually in stock. Plus decent shipping times with all our orders.

    Oh and one of the most important things…they are super competitive in their pricing.  Especially when you can save 3% by using their “text a check” method of payment compared to a credit card.

    Chances are someone already bought from them before and had the gun shipped to your receiving FFL…so it’s already in their system.

    4. Brownells

    Best Accessories & Guns Store

    Brownells is my go-to for firearm accessories and specific tools. But it’s also one of my favorites for actual firearms. They have almost all of the popular handguns and rifles in stock and ready to go.

    Prices are near MSRP but non-gouged but you can still score a great bargain if you keep an eye out for deals.

    Some Upgraded AR-15s
    Some Upgraded AR-15s

    And they’ve brought back monthly coupons based on order amounts.

    I also get most of my upgrade parts from them too.

    Since they are such a big store, you get the peace of mind that you won’t get ripped off and that if there’s anything wrong they’ll take care of it.

    Plus if you’re part of their EDGE program you get free 2-Day shipping on everything.

    5. Gunbroker

    Best Online Gun Auction
    $1
    at Gunbroker

    Prices accurate at time of writing

    Available Coupons

    If you’re looking for a screaming deal or something rarer…you’ll have to go the auction route. And Gunbroker is the biggest one out there.

    Since it’s an auction you’ll be dealing with individual sellers. I would recommend going with a well-rated one since they’ve gotten it all figured out.

    You’ll likely have to pay for shipping and also some sellers won’t accept credit cards (or will charge 3%).  Plus you’ll probably have to send in your FFL information since the chances are slim that the specific seller has sent a gun to your specific FFL.

    6. Armslist

    Ah…the world of private firearms transfers.

    Armslist is where people post of their wares and you message to meet them up and complete the transaction.

    It’s worth noting that Armslist charges a $6.99 membership fee to join which allows you to message sellers and post your own guns for sale.

    Or how about some NFA items like silencers and SBRs (short-barreled rifles)?

    Check out Rainier Arms.

    They’ve got a stellar reputation in the business and I’ve personally visited their shop and warehouse.  They’ve got their system down and will take care of you.

    8. Euro Optic

    I’ve already written about Euro Optic as the best place to get high-end scopes.

    But their selection of rarer guns, especially in the precision rifle department, is also impressive. If Desert Tech and Accuracy International are in your sights…go with Euro Optic.

    I especially like that you can call in and ask questions and someone knowledgeable will answer. This is an outfit run by people who love what they sell.

    9. Guns.com: Trusted Used Guns

    Trusted Online Used Gun Store

    One of the best places for news and reviews…Guns.com recently stepped into the world of used gun sales a few years ago.

    Prices for used and new guns are a little all over the place. That means sometimes you’ll find a great deal…but sometimes you might find a sought after gun for way over MSRP.

    However, you’ve got the peace of mind with a large company that has its own appraisal and inspection team.

    We put in an order ourselves and documented the whole process in our review here.

      Beware of gun broker, I had an issue with them a year or so ago, with a high rated seller and it was a scam. Gunbroker
      customer support is trash they will not return messages or communicate with you or try to get the problem corrected. I am still wanting to get my situation corrected but it's not looking good. There is a ton of complaints like mine I found at the bbb after the fact

      I wouldn't consider Guns.Com very trustworthy or honest. I recently ordered a Sig P226 Legion SAO model and paid over a grand for it. They shipped my local FLL shop a cobbled together mess from several different Sig P226 models. The pistol did not have the chevron markings, the gray ceracote finish or the pictured and standard grips with the Legion medallion logo. The received pistol was plain and pure dull black. When I and the gun-store folks talked with them and confirmed this was not a Legion model they dug in their heels and insisted it was. They would not refund and take the pistol back without a 15% restocking fee plus a $40.00 return shipping fee. They are not reliable and worthy of trust. This was the treatment that I received after over a dozen purchases from them in the past. Don't roll the dice with Guns.Com.

      Gun broker?, Definitely not!, Price gouging, their 1% bullshit compliance fee?, tax, I could go on and on here, GunBroker is the last place I would ever buy a new firearm, I might buy a used one there if I get a really good deal, but usually you don’t because the tax and shipping fees, compliance fee usually negate any good deals you get.

      I usually try to buy locally because I never wanted to wait for shipping for online orders but I have ordered a couple times online - twice from guns dot com one time was awesome and the other time not so much. They shipped out my first order within 1-2 days but the second order it took over a week and I had to call several times to see what was up, never got a straight answer. I do have a gun on layaway from Buds that I will pay off this week so we will see how that goes - I'm optimistic based on their reputation with other reviews they seem to be pretty awesome.

      Excellent list of establishments of where to purchase arms. In my particular case, I was (and did, via this great website) going to purchase a Seecamp pistol. Last week, I contacted Seecamp's four listed distributors to inform them that I am going to purchase a Seecamp 32 ACP - and none responded. Today, I googled "online gun brokers", saw Pew Pew, went thru the list and purchased a Seecamp 32 ACP from GrabAGun using this website's link. Gun Broker also had Seecamps while at least five of the others did not.

      Over the past year I purchased two used handguns from Guns . Com and both times was very happy with my purchase and how things were handled. Both guns were at great prices and arrived at my FFF within a few days after I placed my order. Both were what the website calls “Certified Used Guns” which means I could have returned them with no questions asked. But that has never occurred to me because both guns were precisely what was advertised: quality handguns in excellent condition. Used Guns are also shipped free. The other websites are probably excellent but I will probably buy from Guns . Com again.

      Very surprised you left out budsgunshop dot com and primaryarms dot com. Many online do not ship to where I am (Hawaii) but both these do. But the best part is they both have good to very good prices and Buds ships free much of the time, PA charges a small fee. Buds has a HUGE selection and PA has a 12% off everything deal occasionally and that includes guns, which is rare among other online stores. Great experiences with both of these. I would like to support our local stores but they have a small selection and many guns they can not get.

      I like all of your selections except guns dot com website. My experience with them was horrible. I felt like they tried to deceive me with a used gun and then they would not own up to what they had done. I had to get my credit card company involved to resolve the issue. Never again would I buy from these people.

      I've purchased at Cheaper than Dirt, KY Gun CO, Brownells, Buds Gun Shop. The one I have started using that gives me a warm fuzzy is Bass Pro Shops. They have slightly higher prices, but they also have their own FFL's and stores for pick up as well as a real good selection, including in the retail store. I think I'll be sticking with Bass Pro Shops from now on. In any case, I recommend using only big name dealers. These small guys are too likely to be a scam.

      Just chatted with a guy on Twitter (first red flag) claiming to sell guns at a place called "Official Tactical Store". He claimed to have a firearm I've been looking for a long time with no success. Sounds too good to be true. (second red flag). Went to the website and got an error message saying sorry, we're working on a problem, check back later. (third red flag). He says he'll sell me the gun through Twitter, he'd walk me through the process. I'm done, I'm not going to give my cc number to some twit on Twitter. I told him get his website up and I'd consider it.

      Interesting that Bud's Gun Shop was not on the list. I've ordered from them many times and never had a problem. I would consider them in the top five and not above Brownells. I find Brownells to be higher on their prices than others. PSA is good but they never seem to have the stuff in stock when I am looking for what I want. I have ordered from them and no problem there either except once when some ammo wasn't packaged very well. Looked like it was just thrown in a box with a piece of brown paper that did nothing for protection. Someone that obviously was in too much of a hurry to get a shipment out. Never ordered anything from the others. I have been to a Sportsman's Warehouse and their prices were higher than other gun stores in my area, and not much of a selection. A gun I did want was not in stock, only the display model. The guns behind the counter were helpful but, like I said, their prices were higher. Anyway, give Bud's Gun Shop a try. I don't work for them just mentioning it here if anyone interested.

        Also no mention of CDNN , cheaper than dirt or Trop guns, Trop has used guns for excellent prices I picked up a FN FNS C for 299 Barely Used with a case and two magazines and a Kimber classic for 399 also Barely Used , look like a demo model . cheaper Than Dirt has financing cdnn does not will ship to your FFL if you're looking for deals on trop get on their email list and they'll send you a email when they have new stuff in you have to jump on it quick to get the prices I got but they are there good luck

      Any opinion about Gallery of Guns? You can check and compare fees and pricing between local FFLs and still get backed by the Davidson’s warranty, which I’ve been told by a local FFL is much simpler than working directly with the manufacturer.

        All the guns can be sent to you - via a FFL. I purchased one today, 12.20.23 that will be sent to my FFL in Lake Forest, CA. I am out of town until 12.27.23. On 12.28.23, I will sign the CalUnicornia paperwork and receive the gun 10 days later in January 2024.

      I have used PSA and Grab a Gun in the last few months and they have been excellent.

      Great selection, guys! However, it seems as if you're not truly familiar with GunBroker! ('Scuse me if someone already mentioned this.) *grins*
      Sort By "Price: Low to High" in the top right dropdown, then scroll down on the left and click the "Buy Now" button. NOW you'll see the items (most of 'em) at their no BS-ing around price.
      After looking at the best-priced, blue-starred, "top-listed" stuff, be SURE to go down past them and consider the lowest-priced ones without the blue star. The prices start low again!

      I didn't figure this out at first and missed guns/stuff further down the pages that were sometimes cheaper than the featured ones!
      Ex: Basic 10/22, p. 1, - $249
      Same weapon, p. 3 - $239

      Hope that helps out. *smiles*

        As a ( once ) long time user of 'Gunbroker' I discovered that recently when I went to use the web-site that I had to 'requalify' to 'reactivate' by sending them ALL and EVERYTHING requested ( including a picture of me 'holding my own license' ) which is ridiculous because even a passport sized photo does NOT show the license as legible ) and they never responded after a week when I inquired. Then? I looked them up and discovered they have had their ISSUES recently and whoever runs it now??? Are amateurs-period! I left them a LONG and negative review and do not recommend them to ANYONE.. YOU, must work for them or something..ehhh??

          Hi there. First, I do NOT work for GB, why would you say that? I've simply used them as one of many sites to buy weapons and related stuff. I was just pointing out that GB isn't purely an auction site. I always search under the "Buy Now" option.

          I'm not sure why GB or a particular seller wanted all of that info from you. I've never gone through that and wouldn't if they asked for it. If you don't like them, don't use them for anything more than comparing prices and sizing up the market. Lately I've added GunsInternational to my list of sites. Try them as well.

      I've used PSA for many orders in spite of reading so bad reviews. Never had any issue......until now. I ordered 2 items. The dark earth dust cover came but the foregrip was a no show. I always heard they had poor customer service. So far that's proving to be true. I contacted them twice and all I've gotten is "crickets".

        The tavor ts12 is a left handed, semi-automatic handgun that is perfect for sporting or home defense shotgun. It is a 12gauge, compact, and lightweight shotgun that is easy to maneuver and handle. With its semi-automatic action, it is fast and efficient in terms of fire power. Go there and order your guns and bulk ammunition from Masterpiecefirearm retail store

        I'm replying to.my own post here. I gave PSA what I feel is an unfair or rather incorrect review. I didn't give them a fair amount of time to respond to my problem with my order being short. They've not only contacted me but have made every effort to make this right. PSA has a long history of doing the right thing and I ask their forgiveness for my foolishly hasty remarks and recommend them with 5 stars.

      If you are fortunate enough to have a Rural King nearby then check out RK Guns. They have good prices and take care of the FFL transfer in store. You just have to be willing to order your gun and wait a few days for it to get to the store. I have purchased many through RK and have always been satisfied with the cost and process.

        Rural King (Rkguns) used to be a decent place to buy online, but thier shipping times have stretched into two weeks or more and they have recently increased their prices. Also they like to oversell inventory and then cancel your order.

      US citizens - you are lucky that you are in US (it is first of course :-) ) and secound, that you have these posibilities to buy for example PSA AR15 (Easter Deals now) for $499,99. For part of Ukraine (where we have active battles with russia) AR15 rifles prices increasing (multiply by 2-4-6 for civilians). And also if you are left handed (like me) that's a real problem to buy AR15 for regular price in Ukraine. I asked few FFL dealers from US to open local sales points in western Ukraine - it is good business posibilities for weapons companies to sell weapons in War zone country. Welcome to Ukraine!

      I just dodged the SCAM bullet thanks to an alert pair of folks at Olde English Outfitters, Tipp City, OH, and Texas Gun Shop, Corpus C, TX, respectively. The scammers are Firearms Texas. The people at TGS report that the TX attorney general is moving to find and stop the scammers. I got lucky, PayPal stopped the payment and I'm gonna go put some holes in cardboard. Now, if I can just find a Taurus Tracker 22....

      If you guys live in St. Louis, MO, the best store that I have come across is Saint Louis Tactical. My uncle recently purchased one and was satisfied with the entire process. They have such a huge variety of guns, shotguns rifles etc you guys can check them out on their website by the same name.

      Author forgot to mention that Armslist has a monthly membership fee of a minimum $6.99. Eric, you should do more in-depth research before you make a recommendation in your articles. IHO, incomplete, and/or simplistic information is the worst thing you can do to build a reputation of honesty and knowledge. Also if you are receiving any type of compensation from a recommended site, you should disclose that fact.

      September 30, 2021 6:57 pm
      • Jacki Billings, Editor

        Thanks for the feedback. We appreciate you pointing out that Armslist has a membership fee and we will update the article to reflect that. We are humans though and sometimes we forget to add things into articles. We hope you don't hold it against us that we sometimes aren't perfect. Also, we were not paid to put anyone on this list. This is based on our experiences buying guns online. Again, thanks for the feedback.

        As of now Armslist makes you buy a one month membership to even look at the price and the description.They have the Price and the description blurred out, so you have get the membership. Also if you have a ad up or you send a email to the person selling or trading, It doesn't go to their email it goes to the account messages NOT to your personal email. You have to stay logged in or check it more often then your email. pain in the butt now to put a item on there.

      Cabelas is another site where they'll list lots of items in stock... until you actually click on the item. I emailed them about it and they said their inventory doesn't always sync up with their site. When I asked how often it does sync, they said they didn't know.

        I agree and these three should have been at the top along with Aim Surplus and SOG or Southern Ohio Gun. The author says he got into guns starting with YouTube videos. That means about 2008 at the very earliest. I got into guns in 1982 and started at the gun and knife shows. Also am a master reloader and bullet caster with over 30 years experience. I am also a armorer on many makes and models and a amateur gunsmith. I'm thinking people who write these reviews need a slice of humble pie. Just a suggestion and maybe some help........

        Wasn’t going to reply here until you listed 3 places I’ve bought guns online!

        Grab-A-Gun has GREAT prices and inventory. I’ve bought a few guns from them and it’s always been great.

        Classic Firearms has good inventory and decent prices plus shipping is good.

        And Bud’s is almost local, so I shop there just because. Plus Hickok45 would recommend Bud’s.

        GunBroker is ok, and GunsDotCom seems to be pricing used guns for almost MSRP.

        Thanks for writing this list tho! And thanks to those replying giving me other places to shop.

      I have had really good experience with Grabagun.com Not the cheapest, but excellent customer service and my recent purchases were shipped within days (I am sure some are drop shipped. Also they have flat rate shipping on all ammo, so you can go major bulk and only pay about $13 for the whole thing, that is of course if they have what you need, but they are pretty good with that too.

        Agreed Discreet Guns is a scam. People are preying on the lack of inventory and the risks people are starting to take to buy things. Casey Firearms out of California is the same scam.

      I was looking online for an AR style semiauto 12 gauge. Atlantic Firearms had a lot of selection but little in stock, I eventually found what I wanted at Grabagun, shipping was super quick.

      I ran into this scam website called Glockstore.org. Very similar logo to Lenny's glockstore it with the .org instead of the .com. Everything was in stock and a lot less expensive than everywhere I'd looked. The payment options were sketchy, no credit cards just PayPal and Western Union. And shipping to an FFL was optional. I imagine they are preying on new gun buyers. Stay far away!
