The Collection
is hereby recognized as a
TOP GUN Professional Business!
Stephen Hall and Sam Hixson, you are considered a champion business owner for building and managing The Collection, a gun shop company in Oklahoma County.
Small businesses are the backbone of the United States economy.
The owners of these small businesses are entrepreneurs who often take many financial and business risks, provide employment opportunities, and add their creativity and ingenuity to the overall commerce of a local community, town, city, and county. Many business owners work long hours, endure challenging times, and make personal sacrifices.
Our research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, identified The Collection as a business that is appreciated by its customers and provides valuable services.
The company’s continued success speaks to the dedication and ability of Stephen Hall and Sam Hixson to overcome the many business obstacles and barriers that are part and parcel to business ownership.
Stephen Hall brings more than 25 years of experience in the firearms industry. He began by learning the family gun range business from his father, Miles Hall, who still serves as the resident expert on some of the more unique collectible firearms. After the family business was sold, Stephen and Sam spent several years working as a consultant and traveling extensively. Eventually, he decided it was time to return home and start a new venture by opening a shop focused on selling safes.
Because of the Hall family’s strong reputation in the community, the business soon expanded to include a gun shop inside the safe store. The shop operates primarily on a consignment model, typically charging a straightforward 20% flat fee. The business also prides itself on being customer-friendly—never restricting or penalizing families who decide to remove a firearm from consignment.
Sam Hixson is known as the shop’s modern firearms expert, impressing clients with his up-to-date knowledge of the latest products, innovations, and technologies in the firearms industry. Together, Stephen and Sam combine decades of experience with a commitment to customer service and community trust.
Beyond their business efforts, the team remains active in supporting organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowl, Folds of Honor, and the Boy Scouts of America, reflecting their commitment to giving back to the community they serve.
We take this moment to acknowledge and thank Stephen Hall and Sam Hixson for the past, present, and future contributions that The Collection and its staff have made and will continue to make in Oklahoma County.
