We opened 711 Defense to handle firearms the way we'd want it handled — unhurried, by appointment, with time to actually look at what you're buying.

Working by appointment means you're not waiting behind a crowd at the counter. Whether it's your first handgun or an AR build you've been planning for months, we walk through the options and bring in anything we don't have on hand.

Receiving FFL

Buying online?
Ship it to us.

Any firearm bought online or from a private party out of state has to ship to a licensed dealer for pickup. Send yours to 711 Defense and we'll receive it, run the background check, and complete the transfer when you come in.

Have the seller list us as the receiving FFL, then book a time to finish the paperwork. It's a short visit, and you leave with your firearm.
