All handgun purchases at Armored Boar Gunworks are conducted in full compliance with federal and Texas state law, including ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check for every firearm sale. Texas follows all applicable federal regulations governing the purchase and transfer of firearms and related products.

Texas enacted constitutional carry in 2021, meaning law-abiding residents who are legally permitted to possess a firearm may carry it openly or concealed without a state-issued permit.

Texas law designates certain locations as prohibited carry zones regardless of permit status, including schools, polling places, courts, and other restricted venues under Texas Penal Code, so carriers should familiarize themselves with all applicable restrictions.

2. Do I need a permit to buy a semi auto handgun in Texas?

+

No state permit is required to purchase a semi auto handgun in Texas beyond the federal background check process. All handgun purchases from a licensed dealer require ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check. Buyers must be at least 21 years of age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer under federal law and must meet all state and federal eligibility requirements. Texas does not impose a state-level waiting period beyond the federal background check.

3. Can I carry a semi auto handgun in Texas without a permit?

+

Yes. Texas enacted constitutional carry in 2021, allowing eligible residents to carry a semi auto handgun openly or concealed without a state-issued permit. You must still meet all state and federal eligibility requirements to legally possess and carry a firearm. Texas residents who want to carry in other states or maintain reciprocity benefits can apply for an optional Texas License to Carry through the Texas Department of Public Safety.

4. What is the best semi auto handgun for concealed carry in Texas?

+

The best concealed carry semi auto depends on your body type, clothing, preferred carry position, and experience level. Compact and subcompact striker-fired pistols are the most popular choice among Texas carriers due to their balance of capacity, shootability, and concealability. Hammer-fired options appeal to shooters who prefer a traditional manual of arms with an external hammer. The staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you evaluate fit, capacity, and carry comfort to find the right pistol for your daily carry needs across Central Texas.

5. What is the difference between a striker-fired and hammer-fired semi auto pistol?

+

Striker-fired pistols use an internal striker mechanism rather than an external or internal hammer, typically offering a consistent trigger pull on every shot and a simplified manual of arms with no external hammer to manage. They are the dominant design in modern carry and duty pistols. Hammer-fired pistols use a traditional hammer and may feature a longer double-action first pull followed by a lighter single-action pull, or single-action only operation. Each design has advantages depending on the shooter’s training background, preferences, and intended use.

6. Does Armored Boar Gunworks carry Glock parts and upgrades?

+

Yes. Armored Boar Gunworks carries Glock parts and aftermarket components for the most popular Glock pistol platforms. Available upgrades include triggers, sights, slides, internal parts, and other components that improve performance, ergonomics, or aesthetics on your Glock. Whether you are replacing worn factory parts or building a custom carry or competition Glock, the staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you find the right components for your specific model and application.

7. Should I add a red dot to my semi auto carry pistol?

+

A pistol-mounted red dot offers real performance benefits for many Texas carriers, including faster target acquisition, a single focal plane aiming reference, and improved accuracy at extended distances compared to traditional iron sights. Many modern semi auto pistols come optics-ready from the factory with a milled slide that accepts a compact red dot directly. The staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you identify compatible red dot options and optics-ready configurations for your specific carry pistol.

8. What holster should I use for concealed carry in Texas?

+

The right holster depends on your carry position, body type, clothing, and specific pistol model. Inside-the-waistband holsters are the most popular choice for concealed carry, offering good concealability with minimal printing under typical Texas casual clothing. Outside-the-waistband holsters work well for open carry or duty use. Appendix carry holsters have grown in popularity for their accessibility and concealability. Any quality holster should fully cover the trigger guard, retain the firearm securely, and allow a consistent draw stroke. The staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you find the right holster for your specific pistol and carry setup.
