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.

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.

How to open a MGE dealer account

Applying for a dealer account

  • Apply for a Davidsons dealer accountDavidson'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 accountAs 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.

Project Parabellum is not affiliated with Davidsons or MGE, and neither distributor reviews or supplies this page.

The counts here are our own measurements of the feeds we sync, refreshed hourly. They describe what each distributor sends us, which is not the same thing as everything either company sells, and they will differ from figures published elsewhere.
