DSS Firearms

DSS Firearms wasn't born as a gun shop. About six years ago, the firearms division split off from a security services company that already held federal contracts. That starting point matters: they had access to rare inventory that most dealers never see, and they understood what law enforcement actually carries.

They're not a volume gun store. If you want a basic commodity firearm—a standard AR, common Glock model, or popular hunting rifle—they'll tell you to buy online and they'll handle the local transfer for $50 (including TN background check). That's it.

• •Police trade-ins - Used duty weapons from law enforcement agencies
• •Estate firearms - Older, hard-to-find pieces from collections
• •Rare manufacturer inventory - Items with limited distribution that they sourced through government contracts
• •Specialty builds and components - Aero Precision AR platform parts and uppers

Their featured firearms show the mix:

They carry Glock models (G17, G19, G20, G21, G23, G43X variants), Colt Pythons, Sig Sauer, Walther, Smith & Wesson, Ruger 10/22 and AR-platform rifles, Henry and Browning lever actions, Kel-Tec shotguns, and tactical components from Aero Precision and Magpul.

• •Firearm transfers - $50 flat rate (includes TN background check). They can ship nationwide; just provide your local FFL info.
• •Local inventory sourcing - Have something specific in mind? They can search for it and notify you when it arrives.
• •Used firearm sales - Police trade-ins, estate guns, and lightly-used inventory with transparent condition ratings.
• •Ammunition sales - Handgun, rifle, rimfire, and shotgun ammo plus hard-to-find and law enforcement loads.
• •Accessories - AR tactical rails, scope mounts, handguards, magazines for all types, holsters, cases, and knives (tactical and practical).
• •Optics - Scopes, backup iron sights, holographic weapon sights, rail-mounted and guide rod lasers.

"We've tried to price items according to current market (internet) value. In some cases, due to manufacturer/distributor pricing and market conditions, we may be off in one direction or the other. We will attempt to match the best current market price."

They're transparent about pricing strategy: they match competitive market rates and will consider making adjustments if you find a better deal.
