Gun Made just launched the largest online search engine for firearms and ammunition, connecting consumers to more than 4,000 gun stores across the United States. The coolest thing about this search engine is it provides gun buyers with real-time inventory so they can not only check the price, but see if a nearby brick-and-mortar store has the gun in stock. Gun Made tracks over 500 million items so consumers can locate in-stock products on shelves anywhere in the country, including right in their own backyard with a simple ZIP code search for local inventories. 

Gun Made also plans to expand the search engine’s capabilities by the end of the year to include firarms parts and accessories as well. The sheer volume of tracking necessary to bring this information to your computer, tablet, or phone browser is remarkable, however, Gun Made has faced the challenge head-on, making it the first website in the firearms industry to provide this capability.

While Gun Made is a powerful tool for consumers, it is also designed to offer free exposure for gun shops anywhere in America. While other platforms feature only a few hundred stores, often charging hefty fees ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars a month, Gun Made levels the playing field, allowing major retailers, Mom and Pop stores and everyone in between to list their inventory for free. This provides gun stores an unmatched opportunity to attract local and online customers in a way the industry has yet to experience. Stores can also engage potential buyers and stay competitive by uploading coupons and promotions without costly fees. This groundbreaking model offers local gun stores a no-cost method to reach buyers while giving consumers a wider selection of products from trusted local dealers where they can actually go in and look at and hold a product before they buy it.

With Gun Made you can shop at major outlets such as Sportsman’s Warehouse, Academy Sports, Scheels, Gun Broker and Guns America or turn your attention to thousands of local stores that may have that rare item you’ve always wanted but would never otherwise be able to track down at a store you’ve otherwise never even heard of.

“We’ve built a platform that not only provides access to more stores and inventory than any other competitor but does so at zero cost to the dealers. Consumers can feel confident knowing they’re getting real-time inventory from 4,000 stores, not just a few hundred, and they can also see ratings and reviews right on our site—something that’s often difficult to find on other platforms,” says Brady Kirkpatrick, founder of Gun Made.

Gun Made also enables users to set custom alerts for categories and specific products, meaning you won’t have to search the database constantly for that rare find or waiting to check on a better deal at a future time. Gun Made will do the work for you and let you know immediately when your unicorn becomes available or when a price on one of your items drops. 

While personalized filters enable you to track your favorite brands and models, ensuring you’ll never miss out on the products you are searching for, Gun Made is also designed to keep you updated on industry-wide promotions and giveaways, helping you participate and take advantage of deep savings, including free firearms and related products. In addition, shoppers will have direct access to a centralized database of consumer reviews, keeping them informed and confident when making purchasing decisions.

With the launch of their new online tool, Gun Made is setting a new standard for connecting gun buyers with gun shops that have the firearms and ammunition they are seeking.

This is an exciting new development for the 2A industry that I am personally excited about. Of course, with great power to purchase guns and ammunition more affordably comes great responsibility, so remember to delete your browser histories and hide those statements from your significant other!

  1. Well there goes semi reliable sources of obscure cartridges. Ah well so long as it helps the shops.

    • Uh yeah I appreciate the Gunshops(including Cabela’s) I peruse. I’m over 70 & really don’t trust buying by mail or Amazon(they screwed up the few things I’ve ordered). Besides my son can do that for me(not ammo). When I bought my 1st gat 13 years ago I quickly realized obscure calibers wouldn’t be on my agenda. NATO rifle,handgun & easily available shotgun ammo is what I have.

      • Eh can’t blame you there I do have a mix of standard along with oddballs. I can always find the oddballs so long as the stores are open until I buy them out. The standards get a bit absurd during panics but are cheaper during normal times and the first things back in restock. Having a larger number of stores with a searchable inventory database will change some of the dynamics in ways that make me glad I am mostly stocked.

  2. I see this as a disservice for most B&M mom and pops… people that use a site such as this are nearly always price driven. Fine as long as you’re cross shopping Cabela’s, Sheels, and the other big stores that small shops can’t compete with on price alone, and no one values service anymore. It’s amazing the amount of people that’ll drive 20 miles away to save $10-20 from a local gunshop up the street.
    ‘Till they’re all gone.

    • I’ve found the service at Cabela’s to be ok. I’ve also walked out of a gunshop(Freddie Bear in Tinley Park,ILL)where I was ignored for 15 minutes. I will never return. Some shops I used to visit are now closed forever(3 off the top of my head being County Line in Steger,Ill,2 Blythes in Indiana & Westforth in Indiana. Only one had “good” service🙄

      • And when I’m in a store (big or small) I want to be left the hell alone unless I ask for something. I can read the pkg as well as the clerk and know at least as much as the average clerk before walk in the door. So a line for the clerk/management to walk.

        Don’t get your panties in a wad – need assistance? ASK. Badmouth a local store all over the internet because they can’t read you timid mind? Weak.

  3. Tracks over 500 million items.
    Cool just like the BATFE only not as proficient.
    Online Outer Limits.

  4. Your web site will not let me change location. I live in Twin Falls, ID your location shows me in Boise, ID which is 120 miles from my house. Also I don’t buy online..

  5. Always nice to see something new but it does not show me local gun stores around me including three really big ones with one of them being Cabelas. As for nationwide search I prefer gun deals which gives me nice concise report with shipping rates and sorted from low price to high.
