Anyone have any experience with Giacomo Sporting. They gave me a fair quote for rebluing a SxS (not a Perazzi).

I get used to see picky customers happy with them.

I use them for strip/relay and sometimes bluing. Good, honest people who produce quality work. Recommended.

I met Giacomo when he was with Perazzi [V.P.?]. This was when they had their U.S. headquarters in Rome N.Y.. P. moved to California but Giacomo stayed near Rome and opened/bought a sporting goods store north of the city.This was sometime in the late seventies. He later bought LeFever Arms [Lee Center N.Y.]from Bob LeFever [Uncle Dans nephew] and Bill Schartz. I shot trap with Bob and pigeons with Bill in the eighties.
If you want to meet Giacomo, go to the Grand American, as I did in 2004. He has gray hair now but one glance at his forearms and you would know that you are looking at a gunsmith.
I know Giacomo to be competent and honest and unlike the old LeFever Arms you can expect to get your gun back in less than a decade.

I have had many dealings with Giacomo in his capacity as a Perazzi gunsmith. He may be the best of the two best Perazzi 'smiths in the US. He is most certainly as fine a person as you will have an opportunity to meet in this life.
JMO of course but you're a meathead if you think any differently

The Trap Discussion Web has a uniform high opinion of him as the person to send your Perazzi to for service.

Thanks for the good reports, they seemed very nice over the phone.

Just wanted to throw a few words of support for Giacomo. He has worked on my Perazzi's for 20 years, most of which I purchased from him also. His skills as a gunsmith are only surpassed by his integrity.
