Ammunition is so hard to get right now that we are putting any on our site. It doesn't last long enough to mess with putting on the site. If you are looking for something, give us a call and we'll see if we can help you.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!!

The decision was made by Southwest Shooting Authority on 9 February 2013 to prohibit the sales of ANY item to governmental agencies or officers/agents thereof of any state, county or municipality that does not allow it's citizens to possess the same items. Put another way, if you don't trust your citizens to own certain weapons, magazines or accessories, we don't trust you with them either.

Our intent is not is not to stifle the effectiveness of the individual officer but, unfortunately, they are part of a machine that has taken a stand against the American people. You took an oath to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies...foreign and domestic. Many of the orders that you carry out are in direct conflict with the very nature of the oath that you took

Many of your superiors have decided that these items are for "offensive" purposes. Excuse us, but your agency was not developed for "offensive" purposes. You are not fighting a war. Every human being deserves and is, in fact, guaranteed the right to due process under the very law that you portend to enforce. Your job is to defend yourselves against the criminal while in the process of bringing them to justice, NOT to judge them and execute them at your discretion. 

Other agencies have stated that these items are for "defensive" purposes...theirs, not ours. We at SWSA have the utmost admiration and respect for LE, first responders, fire fighters, etc. but we must ask, why are your lives so much more important than ours? If you can have these weapons to protect yourselves against a savage criminal element, why can we not have the same weapons to protect ourselves against the same element?

For now, this policy only applies to local, county and state entities that have thrown the American people under the bus.  If the United States government passes a ban on ANY weapons, magazines or accessories, this policy will apply to every federal agency and agent in the United States.

At Southwest Shooting Authority, we believe that the constitution of the United States is a Divinely inspired document and is 2nd in importance only to God.

At SOUTHWEST SHOOTING AUTHORITY of Arizona, we provide the kind of service to you that we would expect to receive. The staff at SWSA is well-versed and knowledgeable in a wide variety of shooting activities including modern firearms and ammunition, reloading, ballistics, firearms training and hunting.

Come in, sit down and relax and please don't hesitate to ask if you need help or advice on something. If we don't know the answer right off the top of our head, we'll sure find it for you.


THE MOST POLITICALLY INCORRECT FIREARMS INFORMATION PROGRAM ON TALK RADIO,

THE SHOOTING BENCH,

IS NOW AVAILABLE ON

JUST MEASURES RADIO NETWORK!


Southwest Shooting Authority of Arizona provides nearly 60 years of experience in the sale and service of firearms, ammunition and related accessories and one the most comprehensive training programs in the Southwest. We are locally owned and operated now in Pinetop, AZ,  but ship products to customers around the world in a timely manner.

Southwest Shooting Authority has had to make some substantial changes in the way we do business because of our growth and the addition of a number of new programs and products. While we wish to remain the small, friendly neighborhood store that the people of the White Mountains and across the state have come to know, we also want to be more competitive in our prices, selection and services. Visit us soon and see what we have in store for you.


ALWAYS AVAILABLE !! 

If you're interested in learning about firearms or adding to your knowledge and skill with guns, please check out Southwest Shooting Authority for information on the most complete and comprehensive firearms training in the White Mountain region and, in fact, all of eastern AZ and western NM. No matter your needs, we have a course that will serve you. Men, women, children, young, old, new or experienced shooters can benefit from professional firearms training. Whether your needs be basic safety, marksmanship, weapon handling skills, personal security or more advanced defensive weapons training, we have something to offer you.  See some of our Student Testimonials to see what others think of our training!

Southwest Shooting Authority also offers full-service gunsmithing and personalized fighting weapons. We provide everything from cleaning, scope mounting and bore-sighting to major repairs and modifications.

            MORE BIG NEWS!!

 BRAND NEW! SWSA recently closed their doors and dissolved the business in Luna, NM. Making the decision to "follow the freedom", we have moved everything to Pinetop, AZ and are creating a new business.

Our new physical address is 674A  E. White Mountain Blvd in Pinetop which is located in the Village Center Plaza.

We will continue to travel to conduct our various classes. Watch our schedule on this site for dates and locations.

We are going to continue to do everything down here that we did before the move and more! Check in here soon for more details!

Please know that if you have Glocksmithing projects with us now that they may be delayed by a couple of weeks. This is a huge undertaking and we hope you will understand. We definitely appreciate your patience while we get through this.

GLOCK!!
We really specialize in handguns and particularly the Glock. We have factory-trained Glock Armorers on site and maintain a complete Glock service/repair/modification center.
 
 Also see our section on Glocksmithing for services and modifications to the popular Glock line of pistols. Grip reductions, chops, stippling, trigger enhancements, chamber-check serrations, after-market and factory parts and accessories. GLOCK perfection has never been more perfect until you experience one of ours.  Some satisfied customers comments are posted on our Glocksmithing Testimonial page.

If we do not have any item in stock, we can usually have it here in just a few days. If someone, somewhere, makes what you're looking, we can probably get it for you.

Ammunition:  Our ammo inventory continues to increase. We try to carry all popular calibers as well as some obsolete and a variety of foreign and domestic military surplus ammo.

All firearms and ammunition will be furnished at no additional cost to you.
