Horton & Sons – Fine Firearms, Crafted Heritage
Proudly Serving Discerning Sportsmen in the United States
At Horton & Sons, we hold that a fine firearm is not merely a tool—but a bearer of tradition, artistry, and legacy. Founded in Birmingham, England, and with roots tracing back to 1751, Horton & Sons represents eleven generations of uncompromising gunmaking excellence. Our family name is synonymous with British craftsmanship, heritage, and integrity—principles that remain the foundation of every firearm we curate.
Now proudly established in Detroit, Michigan, we bring this rich legacy to the heart of American sporting culture, where tradition meets innovation, and where discerning sportsmen value not only performance but provenance.
Every firearm we offer—whether a classic side-by-side, a bespoke over-under, or a rare collector’s piece—is hand-selected and meticulously inspected prior to export. We ensure each one meets the exacting standards that have defined Horton & Sons for over two and a half centuries.
For those who understand that excellence is never accidental—but the result of generations of dedication—Horton & Sons remains the definitive mark of refined sport shooting.
Meet Tom Crabill – Our Man in the United States
For our clients across the Atlantic, Tom Crabill is very much the man on the ground. Based just outside Detroit, Michigan, Tom combines a deep appreciation for fine sporting arms with hands-on experience in the American field.

If he isn't on the peg, Tom is likely to be found casting a fly rod, indulging his other great passion: fishing. His love for field sports and sporting heritage makes him the ideal point of contact for our US clients.
