Midwest Tactical

Owner: Frank Goepfert

Frank and Joy Goepfert

Midwest Tactical Inc. was founded in 2005 by Frank and Joy Goepfert. During that time Frank started to manufacture suppressors. While making suppressors he began to develop a network with other gun collectors and dealers. In 2008 the financial crisis of the recession hit and Midwest Tactical began to buy up machine gun collections across the United States from dealers closing their doors and collectors looking to part with their guns. When Midwest Tactical started marketing their guns on the internet the business grew exponentially. Since then Midwest Tactical has been a top 10 dealer on Gun Broker for multiple years. Now the company owns their own listing sites: GunSpot.com and MachineGunCentral.com. Both are listing sites for used and new firearms which focus on sellers and dealers getting the absolute most for their money and having an effective and secure place to do business online. Today 99% of the MWT’s business is done over the internet. The company has succeeded because of the hard work of it’s employees and the solid values that Frank and Joy Goepfert have laid as the foundation.
