I have known Larry (personally) since the days he ran a small gun shop north of Columbia when I was in college. He is very family oriented, as a matter of fact, when he was first getting the mail order/internet shop off the ground, he would interview not only the one he wanted to hire, but also their wife/husband because he wanted to get a better feel for how they would fit in with his philosophy. If he liked a guy, but didn't feel like the spouse was supportive, or wouldn't fit, they didn't get hired. I was running a small gun shop and was one that he recruited and wanted to hire, but he had reservations about how my wife would fit in, so I didn't pursue it further. His instincts were pretty good, as a couple years later she was an ex! I found a good one and have been happily married for 26 years.

Whatever you think of his business, gunsmithing, or whatever, he is a good guy. I have also done a lot of business with them also over the years, as I have with my friends at Graf's.

I've bought a ton of stuff from Midway USA over the past years and always found the products and service excellent. My latest order is on the way now and I'll keep buying from the company so long as the service and quality remains.

I'm a Midway customer, and, while I don't always love their prices or email spam, I think it is a very well run company by a family who cares about what they do. I believe we're lucky to have families like the Potterfields and Brownells in shooting sports.

Let's not "eat our own," folks; we've got enough worries.
