Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Maricopa County. Phoenix fills the Salt River Valley from the Sonoran Desert flats to the ridgelines of South Mountain and Camelback, and it is one of the easiest big cities in the country to buy a Glock in. Pistols ship to FFL dealers from Glendale to Chandler; parts and magazines come straight to the door.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Arizona law allows.
Arizona has no state purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. At the dealer you fill out ATF Form 4473 and the sale goes through the federal NICS background check. Federal age rules apply at a dealer: 21 for handguns and 18 for rifles and shotguns. When you order online, the firearm ships to the Arizona FFL you choose, and that dealer runs the check and hands the gun over once it clears. Bring a current government photo ID with your home address.
Dealers in these communities all work for Phoenix-area buyers:
Arizona has allowed permitless concealed carry for adults 21 and older who can legally own a firearm since 2010. The optional Arizona CCW permit is issued by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, not by the county. Many residents still hold one because it helps with carry in other states, and it lets the holder skip the NICS check when buying from a dealer. Private property owners and some public buildings can still ban weapons, so read the posted signs.
Arizona deer hunting runs on a draw. General rifle hunts for mule deer and Coues whitetail are spread from October into December, and each Game Management Unit has its own dates and permit numbers in the 2026-27 Arizona Hunting Regulations. Over-the-counter archery deer hunts run in late summer and again in winter in many units. Centerfire rifles, handguns, muzzleloaders and archery gear are all legal on the right hunt. Always check your unit and permit type before you go.
The metro units offer little beyond archery deer, so Phoenix hunters drive north into the Tonto or west to the desert units; a 10mm Glock rides along as a sidearm.
Ben Avery Shooting Facility on the Carefree Highway is the Valley's public range, and its pistol bays see more Glocks than anything else.
The public ranges below are run or officially listed by state wildlife agencies and state forests near the cities we cover. Most ask for a hunting or fishing license, an access permit or a small daily fee, and some close for the season, so check the agency page before you drive out.

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Glendale, Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix or anywhere in Maricopa County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.
No. Arizona has no state purchase permit or waiting period. You need to pass the federal background check at the FFL, and you must be 21 to buy a handgun from a dealer.
Adults 21 and older who can legally own a firearm may carry concealed in Arizona without a permit. The optional permit from the Arizona Department of Public Safety still helps when traveling to other states.
Most rifle deer tags are drawn through the Arizona Game and Fish Department draw. Some archery deer hunts are over the counter. Check the current Arizona Hunting Regulations for your unit.
The public ranges on this page are run by state wildlife agencies; most metro areas also have indoor ranges that rent lanes by the hour. Bring the pistol unloaded and cased and check the range's ammunition rules.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
