It is with a heavy heart that we advise GCPD Arms is no longer taking civilian orders.
We have had to accept that it is no longer viable to support the civilian market at this point in time. This is due to a number of factors: recent decisions made by the Albanese Labor Government; drop in revenue following WA’s capped fi****ms legislation; Australia’s current economic climate and increasing regulatory burden have all heavily impacted market stability.
Thank you to all our customers for their support over the past 10 years, who’ve helped us grow GCPD Arms from a backyard operation to a world class manufacturer of fi****ms. I’m thankful for everyone who has supported our journey – loyal repeat customers, followers commenting positively on our posts, and those appreciating the craftsmanship behind our work.
This has not been a decision we’ve made lightly. Stepping away from the civilian market is bittersweet, but it allows us to focus on our next chapter. We’re grateful for the trust, support, and relationships built along the way, and we look forward to the new opportunities ahead.
