COLE FINE GUNS & GUNSMITHING
A Note From Our Founder, Rich Cole
”Do What You Love, Love What You Do”
I went to work for Beretta in 1979 because I decided as a little boy that I wanted to be a gunsmith. Although my eccentric nature and independent streak meant I wasn’t quite cut out for the corporate scene, I am grateful for the knowledge and training afforded to me by Beretta at that time.
Over the past 40 years I have been blessed with the opportunity to hone my craft; I am humbled with the knowledge that I have been able to successfully carve out a unique niche that has allowed me to pursue my passion as a vocation. I have been rewarded by relationships with wonderful clients, peers, industry colleagues, and lifelong friends from all over the world. Many thanks and much credit to my Team, a growing staff of dedicated folks who are taking the Cole Brand to another level.
I’ll be spending a little time in each of our locations each year, training gunsmiths, doing fittings and custom work. Thank you for your business and support over the years. We look forward to providing the Cole Experience for years to come.
