Century Arms won the NASGW Importer of the Year title after wholesaler members voted at the 2026 Caliber Awards dinner held last week during the expo in Phoenix. The honor credits strong support for distributors in the two-step firearms wholesale system.

Sales and marketing vice president Adam Ruonala noted the award matters because it reflects daily partners' trust in the team and products. Since 1961 the firm has imported respected overseas firearms for U.S. buyers while expanding its range through alliances such as MKE and backing a national dealer network. Century Arms supplies law enforcement, enthusiasts, collectors, hunters and competitive shooters.
