Iowa’s Premier Firearm & Suppressor Destination
Our Showroom — Grimes, IowaOur Story: Built by Enthusiasts
BattleHawk Armory isn’t just a website; it’s a family-owned business rooted right here in Iowa. Our journey started in 2015 when our founder, Adam, discovered a passion for the industry while working as an assistant manager at a local grocery store. What began with a few marked-down optics in a rural rental home quickly grew into a full-time business.
Today, Adam and his wife, Kayla, lead a dedicated team of professionals at our headquarters in Grimes. We moved our operations here in 2020 to create a premier destination where customers can see the latest industry releases in person. We are Iowa natives, Hawkeye fans, and firm believers in the 2nd Amendment. When you shop with us, you’re supporting a local family business that lives and breathes this industry.
Precision in Person
While our online store ships nationwide, our Grimes showroom is designed for those who want to get hands-on with the best gear in the industry. We believe that choosing a firearm or suppressor is a personal decision that often requires more than just a stock photo. Visit us to compare grip textures, check trigger pulls, and look through professional-grade optics before you buy.
