About us

Dawson Defense is a family-owned, federally licensed firearms dealer based in Arizona. We sell firearms, ammunition, optics, and accessories direct to customers nationwide through this site and through GunBroker.com.

We're small enough that you're talking to people who actually know the gear, not a call center. When you email us, you're reaching the same team that picks the products, processes the orders, and makes sure the right firearm gets to the right FFL.

We work direct with authorized wholesalers — no greymarket, no sketchy parallel imports. Every product on this site comes from a verified manufacturer or distributor relationship. That means warranties are real, parts are real, and the products are exactly what the manufacturer intended.

Most orders ship from our supplier's warehouse so we can offer competitive prices and fast delivery without holding massive inventory ourselves. For firearms, we coordinate the transfer to your local FFL — see our FFL & Compliance page for the full process.

• Honest pricing. No fake discounts, no inflated MSRPs, no hidden fees at checkout. The price you see is the price you pay, plus shipping at carrier cost.
• Real service. If something's wrong with your order — wrong item, damaged in shipping, missing accessories — email us. We'll make it right without bouncing you between five different departments.
• Compliance first. Every firearm sale follows ATF rules to the letter. We won't ship to states where a product is non-compliant, and we won't ship to anyone who hasn't passed a NICS background check at their local FFL.
• Customer privacy. We don't sell your data. We collect only what we need to fulfill your order and stay ATF-compliant. See our Privacy Policy for details.
