The "nice guys" in the firearms industry

[shamster]

Ok, thought it'd be nice to list the industry folks who have been very helpful to you. Folks who not only provide a great product/service, but who really know how to treat a customer right. Here's my short list (in no particular order):
Lou Alessi (Alessi Holsters)
Mark DeCoveney (M/D Enterprises holsters)
Matt DelFatti (DelFatti Leather)
Brian Bilby (Advanced Combat Pistols)
Hans Vang (Vang Comp)
Dane Burns (Burns Custom Pistols)
Pete Carber (Custom Arms)
Walt Birdsong (Black-T guy)
Patricia of SideArmor holsters
Greg Monte (Jersey City Armory)
JR of Lone Wolf Distributing
The folks at Caspian

These are some of the folks who have really spent the time to point me in the right direction, and are just a pleasure to talk to and do business with. They run honest businesses, and have integrity to spare. This list is not all inclusive for me. Just the ones I can think of now. There are many other people who have been helpful. Just can't think of them now. I'm sure there are many more good folks too, who I haven't yet had the experience of talking with them directly.
Anyone have more names to add? Just thought we could all share with each other who is good to do business with.

This is a worthwhile list, but it belongs in the General forum. Look for it there...

My additions to the list are:
Jack Weigand at (oddly enough) Jack Weigand
Randy at Conn. Precision Chambering

 

[Grayfox]

A few of my favorites:

Midway www.midwayusa.com
Brownell's www.brownells.com
RCBS
Tasco

All have provided top notch customer service for me. There are others, I just can't think of them right now.
