Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Heard a report from a friend at EOT that EMF went out of business. If that's true.......Wow, Whatta Loss! Been a reliable importer thru the years! --Dawg 1 Quote
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) Nothing on their website or Facebook page suggest this. Edited February 22 by H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Quote
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Alessandro Pietta owns EMF. They are listed as the Badge Sponsor for EOT. They usually have a space on vendor row. However, I do not see their name on the map this year. Quote
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Holy guacamole compadres!! If true, that is a huge loss for our game. Also begs the question, who will be the prime importer for Pietta products. Or, have the current tariff uncertainties caused Pietta to leave the US market?? Lots of questions. 1 Quote
watab kid Posted February 23 Posted February 23 ill watch this thread for further info , im not buying it yet 1 Quote
Chantry Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Nothing on their website or a search says they are going out of business. If EMF was going out of business I would expect the various gun oriented websites to have a story if they were going out of business. 3 Quote
WymoreWrangler SASS 46187L Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Are you looking at the correct website, EMF is not Pietta USA... 1 Quote
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Well, iffin you went to the "Old" California address looking for EMF, they ain't there. Moved. Yup. Moved. Near as I can tell from a modicum of Google Foo, EMF Co., has relocated from California, to Casper, Wyoming. Sharing an address with Pietta USA. I have no idea when this relocation took place, but a recent move could well explain EMF's absence from EOT this year. Now, understanding, I have not actually called to Bald Faced ask straight up if EMF is now Dodo, but they "Ain't in Kansas anymore Toto." Your Mileage May Vary. PS: Be handy if a CAS shooter in Casper went to the listed address and knocked onna door?? sorta "Hello?? Can ya hear me now??" 2 1 Quote
Flanigan Flats Posted February 24 Posted February 24 https://www.emf-company.com/store/pc/About-Us-d1.htm EMF has merged with Pietta and moved to Casper WY as stated on this thread already. If you visit their website and select about us the details are there. 2 3 Quote
watab kid Posted February 24 Posted February 24 so they are still around or were they just absorbed not to be seen again ? Quote
Brett Black Posted February 24 Posted February 24 They just had to get themselves out of Kalifornia so they could survive. 6 1 Quote
watab kid Posted February 24 Posted February 24 well that would make some sense given all the new laws and restrictions , Quote
Cotton Eye Joe Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Casper? I own land there and plan to retire/live there in 2035. Gimme a few years, I'll go check! 1 1 Quote
Cholla Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Pietta has its line of Pietta Custom Shop guns. The Pietta Premier revolver I reviewed last year was finished by Park West Arms in Sturgis, SD which is about 250 miles from Casper. Quote
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 (edited) I shot the Plainsman this afternoon at EOT . One of the bays had a Hugh EMF banner on the fence. Somebody paid to have that banner hung on the fence. Edited February 26 by Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 2 1 Quote

Mad Dane, SASS#5536 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Just talked to them yesterday, very much still in business-they have moved to Wyoming. 2 1 Quote
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Well!! Cool Beans. 'Bout time someone did the obvious thing instead of just "speculating." Had I a reason or specific need, I'd just have called 'em. However, didn't have a reason nor specific need, so I didn't bother 'em. Good job Mad Dane. 3 Quote
