Frequently asked questions

You pay for the firearm here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Texas at checkout, and we ship the gun to that dealer. You pick it up there after completing ATF Form 4473 and the background check.

Texas has no permit to purchase, no gun registration and no state waiting period. At pickup from a licensed dealer you show a valid photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473 and pass the federal NICS background check. Federal law sets the dealer minimum age at 18 for rifles and shotguns and 21 for handguns. Ammunition, magazines and most parts ship to your door in Texas.

Your dealer does at pickup, through the FBI’s NICS system or the state’s own system where the state runs its own check. Most checks come back in minutes.

Usually one visit. You fill out Form 4473 at the counter, the dealer runs the check, and you walk out with the gun if it clears and no state waiting period applies. If the check is delayed, the dealer holds the firearm until it is resolved.

A valid government photo ID with your current address, any permit or ID card your state requires, and the transfer fee. If your driver’s license still shows an old address, bring a supporting document the dealer accepts.

Each dealer sets their own transfer fee, commonly $20–$75. Call the dealer before ordering to confirm they accept shipped transfers and ask their fee.

Since September 1, 2021, Texans 21 and older who are not prohibited from possessing a firearm may carry a handgun, concealed or openly in a holster, without a license. The Texas License to Carry, issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, is still available and is honored in more states. Businesses can ban carry with the signs set by Penal Code 30.06 and 30.07, and some places are off limits by law. Check with the your County Sheriff or DPS if you are unsure. See our Texas gun law overview.

No. Federal law requires firearms to go to a licensed dealer. Ammunition, magazines and accessories can ship to your home where state law allows.

A flat $29.99 per order, and free on orders over $999.

Yes. Firearms go to your dealer, so the address that matters is theirs. Ammunition and gear ship to the door anywhere the carrier delivers and the law allows; a few remote addresses are served by a pickup point instead, and we will contact you if yours is one.

Most orders ship within 1–3 business days of payment (and, for firearms, once we have the dealer license). Ammunition travels by ground only, so it takes longer than the rest of your order.

Credit and debit cards on our secure checkout page.

Yes — price and availability are checked again when you place the order. If anything changed, you see it before you pay.

Some items ship from partner distributors instead of our main warehouse. Those usually ship within 1–3 weeks, and we email you if yours will take longer. If we can’t ship an item within 30 days, you get a full refund.

Yes. Used firearms are marked with their condition (like new, very good, good and so on) on the listing.

No. NFA items need ATF Form 4 approval, which we don’t handle, so they aren’t listed.

Before it’s transferred to you, yes — contact us and tell your dealer not to transfer it. Once transferred, firearms can’t be returned for refund, but manufacturer warranties apply. See the returns policy for details.
