Our Story
At Indigenous Arms 1680 we pride ourselves in treating everyone like family. It’s who we are and it’s engrained in everything we do. We are proud to be Native owned and descended from a noble heritage of men and women who fight for their community. We are advocates for responsible firearm ownership, staunch believers in training at all levels, and most of all, being safe at all times.
​
The brand started as a passion project, selling firearms out of a shed in the owner's back yard believe it or not! From there, it turned into what it is today. We are a community of devout individuals who all share in the same beliefs; to protect, promote, and preserve.
​
In 2024, we transitioned from a retail guns and recreational supply store that offers firearms safety and advanced training, to a firearms and self defense training organization with a primary goal of training as many responsible gun owners across the State of New Mexico as possible.
​
We partnered with Core Concepts Tactical Defense and expanded our modest concealed carry class instructor team to a full cadre of instructors with varying levels of expertise in multiple disciplines from the civilian, community education, and law enforcement training worlds.
Our Mission
For our training, education, and service delivery is to empower women, men, and children, by providing effective training, coaching, and education in firearms safety, proper gun handling procedures, shooting fundamentals, the human right to self-defense, which includes the principles of defensive gunfighting, situational awareness, promoting functional & tactical fitness, and the core concepts of survival and self-defense.
