After reaching out to four smiths in northern Hamilton County to fix a simple problem I had with my Beretta, I had zero call backs. It was admittedly not an exciting job, and the fee wasn't going to pay for anyone's boat slip on Geist, but I needed some help.
I started searching INGO for some leads and saw many positive comments about Havlin's Firearms Finishing, aka indygunsmith.com, so I filled out the contact form on his website. Not only did Brett get in touch with me the next day, he encouraged me to make an appointment to come to his shop so he could examine the pistol.
I drove down there this morning and showed him my problem. Brett fixed my pistol in no time, in a friendly and professional manner. Afterwards, I spent a few minutes in the shop just shooting the breeze with him and his friend Chris. Hell, if it wasn't past lunch time I might have stayed longer.
While I wish all the guys who did NOT call me back the best of luck as they engrave their customers' wives' birth dates, wedding anniversaries or Greek mottos onto their Razzmatazz-cerakoted (yeah, its a real color: Hex #E3256B ; RGB 227, 37, 107) forged tungsten lowers, I want to encourage you to give Brett a shot at your business the next time you have a problem with or want an upgrade to any of your firearms.
Personally, I will be happy to drive the extra mile and take my projects to Havlin's in the future. You should, too!
