A Break in the Action
Our days are busy. Professional, family and personal obligations fill our schedules. You’re invited to take A Break in the Action of your day and escape to a place filled with sights of highly figured walnut and rich, vibrant case-color hardening. Intoxicating scents of wood smoke from a perfectly laid fire and spent shotshells fill the air. The only deals we broker are for new-to-us shotguns and our only appointments are for chilly mornings and impatient bird dogs. Here, our currency is memories and we consider ourselves wealthy.
The goal here is simple, to provide a place to escape, a place to learn, a place to reminisce, and a place to relax - be it through our podcast or social sites. Our focus will reliably be on vintage and modern shotguns, best-in-quality gear, accessories, and experiences that complement the sporting lifestyle.
Our days are busy… take A Break in the Action.

Hemingway's shotguns, an interview with 'Hemingway's Guns' author Silvio Calabi
Silvio Calabi has served as the editor in chief of both Shooting Sportsman and Fly Rod & Reel magazines. He has also written extensively on fine guns and shooting, hunting, fly-fishing, and sporting travel. While we could easily build a podcast around most of his writing - one piece in particular really stands out to me. Silvio co-authored the book, “Hemingway’s Guns” in 2010. This book takes a detailed look at many of the rifles, shotguns, and pistols that Ernest Hemingway is known to have owned throughout his life. While much of Hemingway’s life was complex and contradictory - his affinity for hunting and appreciation of the guns used was constant throughout his life.
