Hoppe’s No. 9 – if you’re a firearms enthusiast, you almost certainly know it and love it. That familiar, pungent, acrid aroma is so ubiquitous in the gun world that you can even get candles and air fresheners scented like the classic 117-year-old cleaning concoction. It’s been one of the most popular firearms maintenance products for decades, and over the years they’ve expanded their product lines to include a plethora of other offerings to further help shooters keep their guns in good order. Recognizing the brand’s prominence, Davidson’s has brought them into the fold. With the following September 15th press release, this top-tier firearms wholesaler/distributor has announced that they will now be offering Hoppe’s products in their expansive catalogue. The release reads as follows.

In addition to the original No. 9 formula, Hoppe’s offers a full menu of gun maintenance products.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. – Davidson’s, one of the nation’s top firearms wholesalers, has partnered with Hoppe’s to offer their extensive line of firearms cleaning and care products.

Since 1903 when Frank August Hoppe first mixed nine chemicals to create the world’s most effective gun cleaner, Hoppe’s has emerged as the leading gun care company. Hoppe’s has grown along-side hunters, shooters, and soldiers who depend on their firearms every day. It has remained the most trusted name in gun care by advancing and evolving technologies to meet those needs.

“We’re thrilled to add Hoppe’s to our ever expanding product line family. As we continue to grow our accessories lines, Hoppe’s is a natural fit and is a trusted brand throughout the firearms industry and consumer communities”, said Kane Cannedy, VP of Purchasing for Davidson’s.

Davidson’s will initially carry over thirty of Hoppe’s most popular SKUs with room to grow and expand these offerings.

Initial inventory will be arriving shortly and Davidson’s nationwide dealer network should keep in touch with their Account Executives to be advised of availability.
