As many of you know I purchased a Z-Sport, Mid Rib, Darkside last weekend. I've been patterning it this week and getting to know it, during my testing I noticed a need for some longer range chokes so I went over the Zoli and ordered some. Today Jenny called and confirmed she had the order and was getting it ready to ship out. When she learned this was my fist Zoli she spent a significant time talking through the finer points of the gun and why they're so good etc. Much of this I know already but I was amazed at her conviction and absolute certainty that their product is the best on the market. I truly appreciate working with people that are 100% committed to their product and service. I greatly enjoyed our conversation and learned some good pointers from her on caring for the Darkside finish. In short, she didn't have to reach out or even give me time of day but its super cool that she did and I for one greatly appreciate good people and good service. I'm really enjoying the Zoli experience and being part of what she called the Zoli family. I'm less than a week in and already feel like I made a good choice. (y)(y)

Carslon Sporting in Tomah, Wisconsin is a Zoli dealer with great pricing and support. Very easy to work with. Be careful - I went to his shop to buy a Zoli and accidentally bought a Krieghoff. The Zoli is an excellent gun.

Seabee-Ken, I bought mine from Elite in San Antonio, Cameron and Brad spent a bunch of time listening and helping to assure I got what I wanted. Robert Carlson quoted an excellent price. Robert was super nice and very helpful, I highly recommend him. Cole's San Antonio is also excellent, Austin is super chill and an excellent resource. All three of these dealers are responsive and attentive. Any one of them should be able to help.

I also recommend Robert Carlson. I have bought both a Zoli and a Krieghoff K80 from him. I traded a gun on the Zoli purchase, and I think Robert gave me a very fair price on it. When I bought the Zoli he had a number of guns in stock, but not exactly what I was looking for. He was able to get photos of a couple of guns that were located at Zoli USA in Texas, and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for.

Mine is about a year old now and has about 7-8k rounds through it. I absolutely love it. The people at Zoli USA are fantastic. Quick to respond to emails and always there by phone to answer questions. I purchased mine from Cole in Naples and as always were awesome.
Just and FYI.. I learned the hard way. It's very easy to remove the ejectors and clean all parts. When you do, be very careful. The spring and pin that help lock the ejectors in place are very small and will launch out of place if you aren't careful when sliding the locking piece off gun. Cover with a towel if you need to remove. That will catch them. Unfortunately I can't remember the technical terms to describe the parts. If you own one you should understand what I am talking about.
Good luck with your new ZOLI.
