In a surprising turn of events, Cheaper Than Dirt will no longer offer firearms. This means the US shooting community loses one of the largest online gun retailers, transforming the gun market. So, who will step up and become a go-to gun store for all things firearms? And where will gun enthusiasts find their “dirt cheap guns” now? Let’s dive in to explore what this means for the local market.
Cheaper Than Dirt’s Transformation
If you are a gun enthusiast in the DFW area, you’ve likely heard the recent news about a major player in gun retail making a big change.
The Fort Worth-based Cheaper Than Dirt company has long been a go-to gun store for many hunters and shooting sports enthusiasts, boasting a wide selection of firearms, ammunition, and shooting accessories. Founded in 1993, the company quickly gained popularity by offering cheap guns—”cheaper than dirt,” as one customer put it.
However, recently acquired by 2A Group LLC, Cheaper Than Dirt is shifting its business model. While the specifics weren’t disclosed, the big news is that firearms are no longer part of their inventory. Don’t worry, though—their website will still sell ammo and shooting gear.
We’re excited to see how Cheaper Than Dirt rolls with its new business strategy. But where should shooting enthusiasts go now to buy cheap guns? Here’s a tip: check out GRITR Sports.
Meet GRITR Sports, Your New Destination for Affordable Guns & Premium Options
What do customers really want? Most would agree that top priorities are competitive prices, a good product selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and excellent service. Well, there are many gun retailers ready to meet these expectations, and GRITR Sports is definitely one of them.
Who Are We
Our journey began back in 2007 as Webyshops. Originally, our business was focused on offering web-based services, but our small side business in selling sports optics became so successful that it became obvious—we needed to go that road.
Over the next few years, we expanded our offerings to include firearms, sporting equipment, hunting gear, and, of course, more optics, adding new brands and products to the inventory. Thanks to amazing support from the shooting community, we quickly grew from a local online shop to a full-blown omnichannel retailer with a physical store. By 2014, we ranked #381 on the Inc. 500/5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies, grabbing two more top 5000 awards after that.
After a few more years, the political climate around selling guns began to change, making it hard for firearm retailers to reach their customers. So we set out to create an Amazon-like experience for shooting sports lovers. To clarify our identity, we also rebranded and became GRITR Sports.
Today, we’re dedicated to serving the shooting community with the region’s largest firearm inventory, available both online and at our store. Just a short drive from Fort Worth, our North Richland Hills location features a spacious retail showroom, a distribution warehouse, and an indoor shooting range for pistols and rifles.
The GRITR Sports Advantage
So why shop at GRITR Sports? Here’s a couple of reasons.
Diverse Selection of Firearms
When you shop at GRITR Sports, you can count on finding everything you need—cheap pistols and AR-15 rifles for folks looking for more of a budget-friendly option, premium guns from top-tier brands, and everything in between. We know that handguns and rifles are the most popular guns today, but we don’t limit our offer only to these categories. So shooting enthusiasts can also explore AK-47 rifles, all types of shotguns, old-west style single-action revolvers, modern double-action revolvers, derringers, muzzleloaders, and replica guns.
Top Brands You’ll Love
Our partner brands are a who’s who of American industry leaders, including Ruger, SIG Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Savage Arms, Springfield Armory, Mossberg, Heritage, and Henry Repeating Arms. We also feature international favorites like Glock, Beretta, and CZ. But our mission is to introduce a wide array of quality firearms to the U.S. shooting community, so you’ll also discover offerings from lesser-known brands. Check out the 1911 pistols from Kimber and Tisas, double-stack wonders from Staccato 2011, Chiappa’s unique revolvers and 22 rifles, advanced 9mm pistols from Shadow Systems, Taurus’s magnum revolvers and budget-friendly 9mm pistols, as well as affordable AR-15 rifles and shotguns from ATI.
