New Prague's Neighborhood Gun Store With Shooting Range
Coffee, Fashion, and Firearms Available at Our Online Gun Shop & our New Prague Store
It all started with an FFL to collect historic firearms and an interest in bringing Southern gun culture to New Prague.
Now, you can enjoy shopping in person or online for guns for sale. We also have accessories for your firearms, and a few unique treats, too.

Testimonials
Firearms are our passion, but even a gun shop with a shooting range is no more than a well-maintained set of lanes until it's filled with people who value relationships, community, and country. Starting with humble origins in Austin's townhome basement, 2 If By Sea Tactical has grown to a 10,000 square foot facility in New Prague's Historic Mill area -- all thanks to the care of our staff and the loyalty of our customers. Here's what they say:
