One of only a handful of countries where gun ownership is a constitutional right, and the only country home to more firearms than people, the United States has a gun culture unlike any anywhere else in the world. Arms and ammunition are also big business in the U.S., generating over $90 billion in economic output annually.
Key Points
-
With thousands of federally licensed gunmakers across the United States, arms and ammunition is a multi-billion dollar American industry.
-
Every state in the country has its own arms manufacturing industry, and in each state, a single gunmaker stands out for producing more firearms than its competitors in 2023. In several cases a single company has transformed its home state into a firearm manufacturing hub.

While there are thousands of federally licensed gunmakers operating across the country, domestic arms manufacturing is dominated by just a handful of companies. According to data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, more than 9.7 million firearms were produced in the U.S. in 2023 — and half of them were manufactured by just six companies. (Here is a look at the companies behind the best-selling, American-made, 9mm pistols.)
Notably, however, each of the 50 states also has its own arms and ammunition industry. And just as the market for American-made firearms at the national level is dominated by only a few major gunmakers, at the state level, a single company often accounts for the bulk of firearm manufacturing.
Using data from the ATF, 24/7 Wall St. identified the largest gunmaker in each state. Within every state, we identified the company that manufactured the most firearms in 2023, the latest year of available data. Individuals who are federally licensed to manufacture firearms under their own name were not considered. All supplemental data in this story is also from the ATF.
The companies on this list account for anywhere from 18.4% to 100% of gun manufacturing output within their respective state. Several of the companies on this list are among America’s largest gunmakers. Sturm, Ruger & Co., the company behind some of the best-selling firearms of all time, including the Mark series pistol and 10/22 rifle, manufactured over 1.3 million firearms domestically in 2023 alone — just over 13% of all American-made firearms that year. Ruger is also the leading arms maker in two states — Arizona and North Carolina. Due in no small part to the presence of Ruger production facilities, these states also manufacture more firearms than most others. (Here is a look at the industry’s leading gun manufacturers.)
In many states, however, including several with relatively small arms manufacturing industries, the leading gunmaker is often a smaller, lesser known company that operates solely within a single state.
These are the largest gunmakers in each state.
Why it Matters
The United States is the largest consumer market for firearms in the world, and partially as a result, guns and ammunition are a $90 billion industry domestically. Each state also has its own arms industry, and just as a handful of companies account for the bulk of gun manufacturing nationwide, every state also has its own leading gunmaker.
