Digital firearm sales by retailer GrabAGun gain focus, aiming at new customer acquisitions.
GrabAGun Goes Public, Aiming to Modernize Firearms Industry and Expand Customer Base
GrabAGun, a disruptor in the firearms retail market, made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange on July 16, 2025, under the ticker symbol PEW. The company, which has a strong balance sheet enabling rapid growth through acquisitions, seeks to broaden its customer reach and modernize the firearms industry.
Donald Trump Jr., a member of the company's board of directors, advisor, and shareholder, expressed excitement about the company's future focus on modernizing the firearms industry. GrabAGun's vision is tech-forward, with a focus on integrating scalable, data-driven technology to enhance customer experience.
The company has already made significant strides in this regard, having acquired several companies in recent years, including 7Pixels, A-Mag, and Clipmotion. These acquisitions have expanded GrabAGun's platform and customer reach.
One of the key areas of focus for GrabAGun is catering to a new generation of firearm owners, notably Millennials and Gen Z firearm buyers (aged 18-45). A 2019 SocialSphere survey found that 42% of males and 37% of females in this age bracket reported a likely interest in owning a gun in the future. Moreover, an overwhelming 76% of respondents in this age group said having a gun in the home made it "more safe" rather than less safe.
To cater to this demographic, GrabAGun plans to integrate cryptocurrency and stablecoin payment options. The company also provides a step-by-step ordering guide to facilitate online firearm purchases, ensuring consumers navigate federal, state, and local ordinances with ease. Firearms are shipped to the FFL dealer for a background check before delivery to the buyer.
GrabAGun's comprehensive network of local FFL dealers is available through its site, providing customers with a convenient and secure means of purchasing firearms. The company's modernized platform aims to streamline the purchasing process, making it more accessible and user-friendly for its customers.
With $179 million in gross proceeds from its initial public offering, GrabAGun is well-positioned to expand its online platform and fund strategic acquisitions. As the company continues to grow and modernize the firearms industry, it is poised to become a leader in the sector, providing a tech-forward, customer-focused experience for firearm owners.
