The James Madison Gun Shop

The James Madison Gun Shop launched in 2016 as a small retail operation in Brush, Colorado—about an hour east of Denver. The business model is straightforward: keep overhead costs extremely low, pass those savings to customers.

"Due to extremely low overhead costs, my prices are extremely competitive and often much better than your local gun shop or even popular online stores."

They're built for online sales and nationwide shipping, not foot traffic.

Firearms Sales & Transfers - Retail firearms sales (handguns, rifles, shotguns) - Coordinates transfers with local FFLs nationwide - No sales tax collected on out-of-state shipments - Works with customers to understand total costs (shipping + transfer fees vs. local pricing)

Manufacturer Discount Programs

They participate in LE/military/first responder discount programs from manufacturers including: - Sig Sauer - Smith & Wesson - Daniel Defense - CZ - FN - Beretta - Barrett - And others

Eligibility varies by manufacturer, but typically includes law enforcement, military, veterans (disabled veterans included), first responders, judges, prosecutors, and commercial airline pilots.

They explain the process clearly: buying and transferring are separate. You purchase online, they ship to your local FFL (who completes the transfer with ATF Form 4473 and NICS check). Factor in shipping (~$25) and transfer fees (~$20), but you may still come out ahead depending on local pricing and sales tax.
