When you shop online with Jim's Firearms, you can find plenty of options to suit your needs. If you're searching for pistols, we offer 1911s, custom 1911s, revolvers, and semi-automatics. We also have several rifles, hunting rifles, shotguns, and hunting shotguns to choose from. Clicking on a firearm gives you additional information about it, such as the category it belongs to, the action type, caliber, capacity, barrel length, and condition.

Buy Your Guns Online
Before you go forward with the purchasing process, you must have a full knowledge of your state and local gun laws. As the gun buyer, you are responsible for compliance with all federal, state, and local laws pertaining to the ownership, possession, and use of firearms. So, if you aren't sure if a purchase may be legal for you to make in your area, don't move forward with the transaction until you know for sure.
Once you've selected your firearm, it's time to add it to your shopping cart and then check out as you would with any other online store. Jim's Firearms makes this process as simple as possible. However, because you are purchasing a firearm, there are a few additional steps that must be taken before you can receive the item.
Checking Out
You will need to provide information about yourself, including your driver's license number, name, address, phone number, and email address. Next, you can choose to include shipping insurance, which can give you additional peace of mind for more expensive purchases. You will also see the product listed along with your subtotal and options to choose to pick up your item locally at one of our locations or to have your item shipped.
If you choose to have a firearm shipped, note that it will not be shipped to your home. It must be sent to an authorized FFL dealer, where you can pick it up once your order is ready. If you are choosing to have your order shipped to an FFL dealer (which may include a local pawn shop, gun store, or other authorized dealer), you must fill out a transfer form.
Pick Up Your Purchase
Once you are notified that your item is ready for pickup, it's time to collect your purchase. Visit your local Jim's Firearms or chosen authorized FFL dealer and bring the necessary identification and documentation for your pickup. Fully inspect the firearm to ensure that there is no existing damage. If you notice signs of damage, inform the retailer. However, if you see no issues, complete the process with your retailer and enjoy your new firearm!
