This is strange because I swear it was working yesterday, someone else want to run a search and see what comes up? This I think would be worth a campaign to Google if it's a policy change and not just a glitch.
 
Won't work for me either.

I tried searching for: AR-15, Free Float Handguards, 1911, 1911 grips and a few others...
 
It appears from a cursory search that some sort of policy change took place. No firearms or accessories in the Google Marketplace. Not acceptable.
 
Works fine for me. Glock 19, 15 stores @ $476 plus 31,500 other results. Maybe try making sure safe search is off?

Weird. Safe search is off. Not sure how to save a screenshot but this is what I get:

Your search - glock 19 - did not match any shopping results.

Suggestions:

Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.
Try fewer keywords.

Are you doing this from work? Could be some new filtering.

Are you doing this from work? Could be some new filtering. Works OK at home here.
 
I was getting the same thing, until I reenabled an extension I was running in Chrome called Disconnect

If you're logged into any google services, it may log you out, but searches through google shopping will work again. Not sure if this extension is available in other browsers.

[edit]

Disconnect.me works for Chrome, Firefox and Safari

funny part is, it works perfectly fine for Safari and Firefox, but Chrome doesn't work for anything but Springfield XDs
something must be with in a Chrome settings. but 1st i'll kill Chrome and start new fresh browser
 
Had to clear all cache, history and cookies and now Chrome is working perfectly fine using Google search shopping for any firearms.
it is actually strange how it refused to find any firearm in google shopping search.

Isn't shopping all about clearing your cache?
