Specialty firearms step outside the usual handgun and rifle lineup, built around an unusual action, caliber, layout, or purpose. People buy them because they do something a standard gun won't, whether that's a compact bullpup, a pistol-caliber carbine that shares mags with your handgun, or a rare collectible you've wanted for years. For some it's about function, like a short platform for a truck or a tight home layout. For others it's the fun of owning something different that draws questions at the range. Either way, these are the pieces hobbyists chase once they've covered the basics.
We carry a curated mix of these unique guns and keep it changing, and you can test-fire a lot of them on our indoor range before you commit. If specialty isn't what you're after, our full lineup of guns for sale covers everything from everyday carry to hunting rigs.
The right specialty firearm depends on whether you want compact size, an unusual caliber, a collectible, or just something fun to shoot. The table below breaks down the main categories and who each one fits.
| Type | What makes it different | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Bullpup rifles | Action behind the trigger for a short overall length | Compact power, truck guns, tight spaces |
| Pistol-caliber carbines (PCC) | Rifle layout in a handgun caliber, shares mags | Range fun, low recoil, cheap shooting |
| Lever-action pistols | Lever guns built on a pistol-length frame | Cowboy fans, brush guns, novelty carry |
| Exotic and rare calibers | Chamberings like 5.7x28 or .357 SIG | Collectors, performance seekers |
| Collectibles and curios | Surplus, milsurp, and out-of-production guns | Collectors, history buffs |
| SBRs and short-barreled designs | Shorter barrels, often NFA-regulated | Compact builds, defense, enthusiasts |
Some of these, like SBRs and certain suppressed setups, fall under NFA rules and need extra paperwork and a tax stamp. The rest transfer like any other firearm.
The best specialty firearm for you comes down to why you want it and how you plan to use it, not just how rare it looks. Before you buy, work through these five things:
The easiest way to settle it is to get hands on a few. Our team will walk you through the options at the shop, and you can rent and shoot many of these on our range before you decide.
The best specialty firearm is the one that matches your purpose, but a handful of models stay popular for good reason. Our curated specialty lineup covers the names shooters ask about most:
These cross over with our handguns for sale when it comes to unique pistols and exotic-caliber sidearms. And if you have your eye on a rare gun we don't stock, just ask, since we can usually source it.
Most specialty firearms sell for $500 to $1,500, with simpler pistol-caliber carbines starting near $400 and premium bullpups, rare collectibles, or NFA items running $1,800 to $3,000 or more. You're paying for the unusual design, the build quality, and sometimes the rarity, so the spread is wider than a standard handgun or rifle. Total Impact backs every firearm with a price-match guarantee, so if you find the same specialty gun for less somewhere else, we'll match it.
Buying a specialty firearm online is simple, and federal law just requires that the gun ship to a licensed dealer for pickup, not straight to your door. Here's how it works with us:
You must be at least 18 to buy a long gun and 21 to buy a handgun. NFA items like SBRs take extra federal paperwork and a tax stamp, so those go through a longer process. We handle FFL transfers both in and out, and picking up at our shop is usually the fastest route.
A specialty firearm is any gun built around an unusual action, caliber, layout, or purpose, instead of the standard handgun and rifle designs. That covers bullpups, pistol-caliber carbines, lever-action pistols, exotic calibers, and collectible or out-of-production guns. You'll find unique pistols in this group alongside our regular handgun lineup.
Most specialty firearms cost between $500 and $1,500, with simpler pistol-caliber carbines near $400 and premium bullpups, rare collectibles, or NFA items at $1,800 to $3,000 or more. Total Impact price-matches any competitor, so you always pay the best price.
You can find rare guns for sale through dealers who carry specialty and collectible firearms and can source what they don't stock. Total Impact keeps a rotating specialty selection, and if we don't have the rare gun you want, we can usually track it down.
Most weird and unique guns are legal to own and transfer like any other firearm, as long as you pass your background check. Some, like short-barreled rifles and suppressed setups, fall under NFA rules and need extra federal paperwork and a tax stamp. Local laws vary, so check your state and city rules before you buy.
Yes, you can build a specialty firearm by starting with a stripped or complete lower and adding the parts that fit your purpose. Our complete lowers give you a ready-to-build base, and our team can point you toward the right caliber and components. NFA builds like SBRs need paperwork before you start.
Yes, Total Impact ships specialty firearms anywhere in the country to a licensed FFL dealer for pickup. You order online, choose your local dealer or our shop, and pass the standard background check at transfer. NFA items follow the longer federal process, but standard specialty guns ship like any other firearm.
