Maybe because they make top shelf competition shotguns? Just a SWAG here, but Perazzi, Piotti, Purdey-- Hallmarks as well known as: Rolex, Steinway, Ferrari-etc.. The very word competition means, as old Billy S. once so wisely wrote-- "Now cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war"- You compete to win and to bury the opponents so far into the dust they can't rise up for the next event, right??


To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

It's just business. Perazzi is dominant in several target markets because they build the best tool. They will also build what amount to bespoke guns but they don't have to since their market is a sort of tailored but not one off kinda gun. Krieghoff bought the skeet gun market. Beretta is making a run on the trap stuff by buying some top shooters. Churchill pointed out that all of his competition were fools for building those stupid long barrels.

It's only business. You either meet/exploit the target segment's market demands, make their demands match your product, or fail. No mysteries there.

have a day
