DEALER AUTHORIZATION

  • Alpha American Firearms is a veteran-founded, American manufacturer focused on building premium double-stack 1911 platforms with an emphasis on precision, durability, and refinement.

    We operate out of the Ozarks with a small, dedicated team—prioritizing quality over volume and long-term relationships over short-term growth.

    Every firearm we produce reflects:

    • Hands-on craftsmanship

    • Intentional design

    • A commitment to doing things the right way, not the fast way

  • We don’t chase production numbers—we focus on consistency, control, and execution.

    Our approach is built around:

    Purpose-Driven Builds
    Every model, cut, and finish has a reason behind it—nothing is added just for looks.

    Controlled Production
    We keep our output manageable to maintain quality, predictable lead times, and attention to detail.

    Dealer-Aligned Workflow
    Our recurring order structure allows us to plan ahead—so dealers aren’t left guessing on timelines or availability.

    Refinement Over Hype
    We focus on how the firearm performs, feels, and holds up over time—not just how it looks in a photo.

  • We partner with dealers who understand the value of a premium, hand-built product and want to offer something different than what’s sitting in every other display case.

    Our ideal partners:

    • Value long-term relationships over one-time orders

    • Want consistent product flow—not sporadic availability

    • Appreciate craftsmanship and can communicate that value to customers

    • Are looking to elevate their inventory with something distinct

    This isn’t a high-volume, discount-driven model—it’s a relationship-driven partnership built for dealers who want to stand out.

DEALER AUTHORIZATION AGREEMENT

1. Partnership Overview

Alpha American Firearms is a premium, American-made manufacturer specializing in hand-built firearms crafted from billet steel with a focus on precision, reliability, and refined performance.

Dealer is hereby appointed as a non-exclusive authorized dealer of AAF products and agrees to represent the brand in a manner consistent with its quality, craftsmanship, and reputation.

2. Dealer Pricing

Dealer will receive a 20% discount off MSRP on standard production firearms. Custom builds, limited releases, or specialty finishes may be priced separately at AAF’s discretion. Pricing may be updated with reasonable notice.

3. Ongoing Order Commitment

To maintain active dealer status and ensure production consistency, Dealer agrees to:

Maintain a minimum six (6) month relationship of recurring orders - Order frequency may be:

This structure allows AAF to plan production efficiently while supporting steady inventory flow for the Dealer.

4. Lead Times

Lead times are estimates and may vary depending on:

  • Component availability

  • Production volume

5. Order Placement & Specifications

Orders must be submitted in writing (email or approved order form). Dealer is responsible for confirming all specifications at the time of submission.

Changes after submission may result in:

  • Additional costs

6. Order Modifications (Finish Changes)

AAF understands the importance of market demand and seasonal variation in finishes and offers flexibility under the following guidelines:

Dealer may request changes to the finish or color of an existing order with 4–6 weeks’ written notice/email prior to the desired delivery timeframe.

For orders already in the production queue, AAF recommends submitting finish or color changes no later than the first (1st) day of the month preceding the intended delivery month.

All change requests are subject to:

  • Production stage

  • Material and component availability

    Once a firearm has entered final production or finishing stages, modifications may no longer be possible.

    Approved changes may result in adjusted lead times.

This policy is designed to balance Dealer flexibility with production efficiency.
