It was early 1998 and Pistole Gun & Pawn was still just a dream in Danny Pistole’s head. He had always liked the idea of ​​opening a pawnshop since he previously had a barbershop next to a pawnshop in Oklahoma in the mid-1980s. The Pistole family will leave Oklahoma to return to Clinton in 1988 to live and work on family land. They would spend the better part of a decade working the family grounds, and through their patience and hard work, Danny would open a barbershop again in 1995 with a video store to follow the following year. So in early 1998, Danny found himself in a position to start his new business with his first pawnbroker. Their first client was a gentleman who needed $1,000 and a car warranty. Danny having $500 he could put in called his son Jeff for the remaining $500 and a partnership was born. The early years were tough with much of the family working for free, but they were able to slowly grow that first loan over time into Pistole Gun & Pawn.

The log cabin building was built in 1978 as a show model and would serve their immediate needs, but with the barber shop then located where their showroom is now, the need to enlarge again came quickly. In 2002, they pistols on a south addition giving the barber shop a new home.
