Puglisi Gun Emporium

Hi Mitch!

Actually - Mr. Puglisi has one of the finest selections of Parker's available on the Internet (and in his place of business, as I understand

). As well, he is one of the most knowledgeable Parker dealers out there - if not "the most knowledgeable".

He's also a PGCA Member and subsidizes a shoot which I've posted pictures of in the past. In that way - I guess he's like a member of our family?

I can also tell you that as a customer of his - it's been my pleasure to do business with him.

Anyway - I guess my view is - when I'm looking for something rarer or in higher condition - I trust Mr. Puglisi over just about any other dealer I can think of?

Just my $0.02

Agree with what John and Bruce said. I have bought a number of guns from Jack were they expensive sometimes but they were the highest condition guns that I could find, and you will pay dearly for any high condition Parker over the same grade gun in 50% condition and Jack has some very high condition guns..

Once, I made an indirect comment on the internet about the pricing of guns or a gun at Puglisi's. That evening, at about bedtime, Jack's time, my phone rang in Maryland. It was Jack. He wanted to chat about gun pricing and my comment. We talked on the phone until it was about two hours past my bedtime. I had never talked to Jack before, this was a first. Jack had bought a collection of Parkers from a collector who lives near me. He priced them like he prices most of his great guns. As Jack mentioned on the phone, after about a month, a good percentage of these guns had sold. I took the opportunity to ask Jack about a gun on his list that I was interested in, at a price a bit lower than his advertised price. We couldn't strike a deal. However, not too long ago, Jack reduced the price of many guns on his site, supposedly on a temporary "sale" basis . After the "sale", these guns are still at reduced price. So he is capable of coming off a price. I think he is a great guy as a gun dealer. I wish he were closer to Maryland.
