Practical Performance Products was established in 1990, with the online site coming along in 2012.  The website is a work in progress and I welcome you to check back often to see what has changed.

This business came about from a personal need to locate a variety of harder to find items for my shooting use, as well as that of friends and family, starting as far back as 1982.  Over time I started attending local gun shows providing these products to the “public”, this is when “Practical Performance Products” was born.  As the years passed, I began attending more shows, expanding my product line and sales base.

With retirement from my “day job”, the website was initiated and the business has become my retirement project, with gunsmithing being a major component thereof.  This has resulted in more variety over time and the attendance at shows as time allows.

Covid, of course, had a major impact on us, as it did with many small independent businesses.  Several suppliers went out of business during this time and many others significantly reduced their inventory and product line.  We continue to try to find products world wide for our customers.

Family assists with the business and together we bring more than 150 years of shooting experience and knowledge to the table.  This experience ranges from recreational sport shooting, through hunting, instructing and competition, to professional armed service.  We enjoy what we do and that is why we do it!  We are a family business and members of the shooting community.

My wife is an invaluable member of this company and without her dedication and efforts I would not be able to continue to offer our services and products to our customers on my own.  Many of you who know us from the shows are already aware of this.  I thank you for your business!
