SO, WHAT IS IT?

THE BESPOKE PERAZZI

One of the defining qualities of a Perazzi built shotgun is the process in which it was made. Unlike any other high end competitor in the competitive shooting industry, 100% of every Perazzi is built in the factory in Brescia, Italy — this allows the company to have the highest level of quality control that is possible.

In addition to the superior quality control in the build process and the unrivaled selection of the highest performance materials, every single Perazzi is built by hand. When you purchase a Perazzi, you aren’t getting a “cookie cutter” production gun — you’re getting a one of a kind hand built piece of art, and that’s truly what it is.

Everything about building your own Perazzi is about what you want it to be, from the fully custom fit stock, the wood selection, receiver style and engraving, trigger selection and type, barrel gauge and length, bore diameter and choke selection or constriction, rib style (height) and width, bead style and selection, etc. — the list can go on.

If you have the proper guidance during the build process, it allows you to create a gun that is so in tune to your style of shooting that the gun seems to move effortlessly. You will no longer have to compensate your approach to the target to the way that the gun moves or carries momentum.

Due to the beautifully balanced design of the receiver and the ability to select a barrel weight and build a custom stock, a truly fit Perazzi just naturally follows your eyes — you don’t have to push the gun to get it started or pull back on it to slow it down. At the highest level of competition, that is the most valuable advantage you can have.

If all of this isn’t enough, probably the greatest characteristic of this whole process is the price. Building your own gun costs nothing more that buying one off the wall in a shop. Why? It has to do with the build process in the factory — Perazzi does not build a production, or even a semi-production gun.

They don’t start making a gun until they get an order for one, so regardless of it being a custom order from the end consumer or an order to fill inventory for a dealer or myself, the production cost is exactly the same. It truly is the only bespoke gun in the competitive shooting market.

HOW DID IT ALL START?

THE HISTORY OF PERAZZI

The history of Armi Perazzi is the history of Daniele Perazzi, a poor but doggedly determined young man who chased the myth of a perfect gun and dreamt about becoming a gunsmith. At 16 he finally got a job in a large company proving his natural born talent and patenting one of his models. It is the first of a long series of guns, produced since the 1950’s, that bears his name. In 1957 at the age of 25, Daniele Perazzi founded Armi Perazzi and established his own factory where he worked every day, together with his son Mauro and his daugther Roberta, until his death.

From the beginning, Perazzi shooters achieved considerable success and the name and reputation of Perazzi became established and widely known. For 50 years Perazzi has built prestigious game and competition guns that are a fusion between traditional gunsmithing, high technology, and the selection of excellent raw materials. The perfect balance and handling, and the innovations that have been made during this time have resulted in a gun suitable for every discipline and made the company a world leader in clay shooting.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS & FACTS

How is it possible that it doesn't cost anything extra for a custom order?

Everything has to do with the way that the gun is made, and how the company operates. Perazzi does not make any production, or even semi-production guns. Every gun that you see is a full custom order, even what the dealers stock on their shelves.

Perazzi doesn’t start making a gun until they have an order for one, so regardless of you purchasing one off inventory somewhere or going through the custom order process, the cost of production is the same — therefore, the price for you is the same.

So the question that presents itself is, why purchase one off the shelf if for the same price you can build one yourself?

How long does it take to get the gun that I order?

Again, this really depends on what you order and how busy the factory is. Every single Perazzi is hand made to a specific individual order, so sometimes it can take time.

Typically, a gun will come in anywhere from 3-6 months, but can in some cases take longer — but the important thing to remember is that this is a fully custom gun, not something pre-fabricated where you are just picking the engraving.

Once you get your gun, there will be no other one like it in the world, and out of the box it will fit you like a glove.

How long does the order process take?

This completely depends on you, I have had clients who have wanted to continue to go over their order for multiple days and have, in total, taken weeks to complete a single order.

I have also had clients who can get through an order process in a matter of an hour or so. It all depends on how you want to go about it, what you are looking to get out of it, and what all you know about what you want to order.

The great thing about it is, regardless of how long it takes, you will come out of the process getting exactly what you want for no extra cost.

Will you be involved in the order process? Or will I be doing that through somebody else?

I take great pride in going through the order process with my clients — it is something that I have done many times and have perfected over a lot of practice.

I really value the fact that I not only understand the gun from a manufacturers point of view, but I have used it at the highest level of competition in the world, successfully.

So not only do I understand how it works mechanically, but I can help guide you through the process by telling you how each different option will influence the way that the gun moves and handles when you’re using it.

Apart from that, I always include a full day of shooting lessons free of charge with any Perazzi order — this allows me to really observe your method and style of handling the gun and approaching the target so that I can better suggest more effective options in your Perazzi build.

That is an invaluable advantage to have when ordering the best gun in the world.

I want to buy a Perazzi but don't want to wait, do you have an inventory?

I truly believe in the custom order process of building your own beautifully crafted hand-made Perazzi, so because of that I do not have any guns in inventory that I will sell.

However, I still want to be able to help guide you through your buying experience, because at the heart of everything I am a coach and want to see you with something that works best for you.

I do have a good amount of demo guns for you to try in order to understand what it is that you are truly looking for, as well as what build options you should try to avoid — and I would be more than happy to help you out with this free of charge, provided you are local to me or can schedule a way to meet up (either on the road or at my local area).

Give me a call and I can help you out, and suggest a dealer for you to work with purchasing something out of their inventory.

Immediately, I would recommend John Herkowitz over at Pacific Sporting Arms. He has a physical location both in California and Michigan, as well as a huge selection of Perazzi shotguns.
