About Perazzi

In the world of fine firearms, Perazzi is highly respected by top competitors for its design, balance, feel, reliability, and performance. Their exemplary track record of winning medals for 68 years inspires champion competitive shooters to make Perazzi their gun of choice.

Perazzi’s goal from the beginning has always been to make the finest competition gun available. The focus has primarily been on the competitive shooter, and they have succeeded in producing a product that has satisfied each specific shooting discipline as well. The design is strong and dependable while also being easily serviceable. Their guns have provided customers a lifetime of enjoyment and service. Pride of ownership is extremely high, and it is common for owners to collect multiple Perazzi because they know and appreciate the quality and performance on which they can rely.

After 2000, the discipline of sporting clays has completely changed the preferred type of model with different specifications.  In addition, several new brands entered the industry and have diluted the market and perception of a quality firearm. Despite the evolving sport, enthusiasts still perceive Perazzi to be one of the best guns ever designed and is in a class all their own.

About Al Kondak

Al Kondak grew up in a family that has a long history in enjoying the outdoor sports of hunting and fishing. Although his father owned a classic outdoors sports store and was a manufacturer’s representative for 50 years, he chose to pursue career in business and product marketing.

In 2005, Al became the Purchasing Manager and Product Specialist at Griffin & Howe. This opportunity allowed him to become intimately aware of each company’s products, features and the market segment. In 2010, Mauro Perazzi asked Al to become the Managing Director of Perazzi USA. In the past 14 ½ years, Al’s sole focus has been to match his customers and their sport to the perfect firearm.  The firsthand knowledge he gathered by traveling to competitions 6 months of the year and speaking with customers every day has allowed him to understand the customers’ needs and provide them with a high-performance gun that will allow them to achieve their goals.
