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!
