We’re not in that number. Here’s why that matters.

American Market Presence™ counts ammunition sitting in wholesale warehouses, waiting to reach a store. We sell direct, so the measurement was never going to see us — and the same is true of every American-owned brand built the way we are. The number isn't wrong. It just isn't built to see companies like ours.

We’re not in these numbers. That’s the point.

Firehole Arms, our ammunition brand, is American-owned and American-made, and we sell it direct, so it never sits in a distributor's warehouse. Every box you buy from us is American-owned ammunition these numbers will never count.

What moved it

  • We now count only stock that distributors currently report and that can be confirmed, which raised the American-owned share slightly for 9mm Luger, .300 AAC Blackout and .45 ACP.
  • We now count frangible ammunition as ball, which moved 9mm Luger from Scarce to Critical.
