🥇 What Is the Best Electronic Form 4473 Software? Why Bravo’s E4473 Leads the Way

When it comes to firearm sales, compliance is everything. Every Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) knows that even small mistakes on the ATF Form 4473 can lead to costly violations or delays. 

That’s why thousands of dealers are switching from paper forms to digital workflows.
The most complete and trusted solution available today is Bravo Store Systems E4473 — a secure, easy-to-use system that keeps your store audit-ready 24/7. 

 

Why Bravo’s E4473 Is the Gold Standard for Compliance 

Bravo’s E4473 isn’t just an online form. It’s part of a complete digital compliance system that connects every step of your operation — from sales to record retention — in one place. 

 

✅ 1. Digital Done Right — Faster, Cleaner, Audit-Ready 

Bravo’s E4473 isn’t just a digital version of a paper form — it’s a complete compliance upgrade. 

Every form is legible, automatically stored, and linked directly to your A&D Bound Book. When a trace request comes in, you can find the firearm, pull the attached 4473, and send the record in minutes — no more digging through boxes or handwritten forms. 

Every step — from customer entry to final signature and digital storage — is paperless, organized, and audit-ready 24/7. 

 

🔗 2. Built Into the Bravo POS System 

Bravo’s E4473 is natively integrated with the Bravo Point of Sale (POS) and electronic Acquisition & Disposition (A&D) Bound Book, keeping every record accurate and in sync. 

– Complies with ATF regulation 27 CFR 478.125 — A&D entries made at the time of transaction. 

 

💡 3. Smart Form Logic That Prevents Mistakes 

Bravo’s smart logic guides each customer step-by-step, skipping non-relevant questions and flagging any missing or problematic answers before the form can be completed.
This ensures safety, accuracy and reduces follow-up work. 

 

🧾 4. Automatic Multiple-Sale Reports 

When a customer buys more than one firearm, Bravo automatically detects the event and generates the required ATF Form 3310.4 (Handgun) or 3310.12 (Rifle) — eliminating manual compliance tasks. 

 

🔍 5. Integrated NICS Background Check 

Bravo connects directly to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), allowing staff to prefill data, submit checks faster, and minimize transcription errors. 

 

🔒 Secure and Compliant — With Optional Cloud Storage 

Bravo’s E4473 meets all electronic storage requirements outlined in ATF Ruling 2022-01 and Final Rule 2021R-05F. Every form is encrypted, access-controlled, and retained securely for the full 20-year period required under 27 CFR 478.129 when digital storage is enabled. 

For stores that prefer added convenience, Bravo’s E4473 Cloud Storage is available as an optional feature, providing safe, centralized access to your 4473 records, along with an ATF audit portal for faster, less-stress audits. 

Regulatory Note: ATF does not certify POS vendors. Bravo aligns with current ATF rulings and provides verifiable audit artifacts to support compliance readiness.
