Placing an order for a restricted shipping state:
- Depending on your state's requirements, scan necessary documents or make arrangements with your FFL.
- Send an email to sales@g9defense.com with all of the required documents, shipping information and list of exactly what you'd like to order.
- A member of the G9 team will help you proceed from there. Please be aware, these orders may take an additional day or two to fulfill, please be patient.
Please be aware:
- G9 ships all orders via UPS ground. By law, ammunition is required to ship via Ground. As a result, we are unable to ship to PO Boxes or offer expedited shipping.
- G9 Defense does not accept returns of ammunition for any reason - no exceptions. Please ensure all items are correct before submitting your order for any ammunition products.
- Due to supply chain shortages or available supply, G9 Defense reserves the right to limit the sale of ammunition to end users.
- Ammo prices have increased due to increases in the cost of producing ammunition, arising in part from labor and manufacturing material cost increases like copper and other metals.
- G9 Defense offers several items that are restricted for sale in the United States of America by federal, state, and/or local laws and regulations. Sale of these restricted items may be limited to United States Military, Law Enforcement, Correctional Facility Personnel, Security Guards, Peace Officers, and various other authorized users.
