Davidsons vs MGE
Both catalogs are synced into one shared vocabulary, so the same UPC can be counted on either side and matched across them. Davidsons asks that their catalog figures be shown to approved dealers, so the overlap between these two is shown there rather than here.

Where each one will ship it
Taken from each company’s own site on the dates shown on their individual pages. Running a drop-ship programme and naming where the parcel goes are separate questions, and most distributors answer only the first — so “Not stated” below means they have not published it, not that they refuse.
| Davidsons | MGE | |
|---|---|---|
| Ships to your store | Yes | Yes |
| Offers drop-shipping | Not stated | Not stated |
| Ships to your customer's FFL | Not stated | Not stated |
| Ships to your customer's address | Not stated | Not stated |
| Ships NFA items to a receiving SOT | Not stated | Not stated |
Every distributor here ships to your own licensed premises — that is what a wholesale account is, not a policy any one of them publishes. Confirm anything you will act on directly with the distributor.
Davidsons
Davidson's is a wholesale distributor selling to licensed firearms retailers, and Project Parabellum syncs their catalog on the same automated schedule as the other API-connected distributors here. Under the terms Davidson's sets for their data, what that sync returns is available inside a dealer account rather than on this page — so unlike the other distributors on this hub, the figures below are shown to signed-in dealers only.
MGE
MGE Wholesale runs a smaller, focused catalog and delivers it to Project Parabellum as scheduled file drops rather than a live API connection. It fits best as a supplemental account in a dealer's distributor mix — a narrower catalog checked alongside a bigger primary feed rather than run instead of one.
Applying for a dealer account
- Apply for a Davidsons dealer account — Davidson's catalog data is available to signed-in dealer accounts rather than on the public page, at Davidson's request.
- Apply for a MGE dealer account — As a smaller, focused catalog, MGE works best as a supplemental account rather than a dealer's sole distributor. Being an FTP file drop rather than an API, catalog and stock updates arrive on MGE's schedule.
Both links leave this site. Applications are submitted to, reviewed by, and approved by the distributor themselves — Project Parabellum is not part of that process and cannot speed it up or vouch for you.
