Hi Mike,,
Without seeing the site it is pretty hard to give you advice.
It could be a number of things , keywords, traffic, site graphics, linkbacks, relevancy, duplicate content.. the list goes on.

The first thing I see is you have no backlinks to your site.
You need relevant sites linking back to your site with relevant keyword anchor text.

Ahh OK, I used http://

Just on that note.. have you told Google to show all your http:// pages as www ?
Otherwise Google will see this as 2 separate sites with duplicate content.
Also does your competition have more backlinks than you?

It is sometimes hard to pinpoint all this to see why sites are not on the first page and others are and you just have to keep adding good content and improving the site..

It also seems your competitors sites have more content on them and are better laid out, re: good for user experience.

for Ex: pantherstunguns.com or beststungun.com

Your site on my 17inch screen, ran off the page with a bottom scroll bar.. I have to go left and right to see your page.

One other thing, you are competing with some much older sites with aged domains and higher pagerank.
That will help bump them up to the front page ahead of you as well.

Not sure if that helps.
