About

I’m Drew McDermott, owner of MDRF Enterprises and a licensed FFL based in Saint Louis.

With over 12 years of experience helping families, attorneys, and trust officers navigate firearm transfers, I’ve seen just about everything.

My background blends compliance, hands-on appraisals, and a deep respect for doing things the right way.

These posts are written to simplify complex topics around estate firearms and provide clarity without the legal jargon.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m usually deep into a book, building something useful, or exploring the backroads of Missouri.
