About us

Since 1956

Dante, serving Montrealers for 56 years

It was 1956 when Luigi Vendittelli and his sons Antonio and Giuseppe founded a European-style hardware store. It offered tools, kitchen articles, and eventually firearms to the new Montreal immigrants who were hunting enthusiasts. The store quickly became established as a mecca for hunters, sports shooters, and those interested in fine guns. Today, Rudy and Elena, another son and daughter of the late Luigi Vendittelli, operate the business.

We are one of the biggest retailers of firearms in Montreal, carrying the most extensive inventory in Quebec.

We buy and sell used guns including those classified as restricted or prohibited. Two certified gunsmiths, Patrice and Boris, verify all of our used guns. They also perform all of our repairs and restorations in our gun shop on the premises.

And to complete our team is Rudy's very loyal second, Aldo, who has been with us for more than 30 years, and like everyone else on the team, is passionate about hunting and shooting. He has the knowledge to help and satisfy the most demanding customers.

Our goal is uncompromising customer satisfaction delivered with genuine courtesy and professionalism.
