This shows the engraving pattern.  We looked for Colonial American themes. Originally we were going to make a  variation in tones for both the eagle & the snake but decided it detracted.

I like this one..  Shipping now. We are trying to direct them to Kimber Master Dealers.

Lee sent this photo of his progress so far engraving one of the Stainless frames were shipped after we finished the JW run.   We’ll put some fancy grips on this beauty.

Lee is creating some outstanding work and he’s a real gentleman besides.

Colt's Joyce Rubino and USA Shooting Team Buddy Duvall

Colt’s Joyce Rubino and USA Shooting Team’s Buddy Duvall show the TALO pistol at the NRA meeting in Phoenix.

We have a few editions in the works right now.

We expect the Colt La Patria to start to ship in 10 days.  I believe  collectors will appreciate the upgraded graphics and the historical context of the pistol. http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/history/jtuck/jtvguerrero.html

We have a new USA Shooting edition MKIII in the works.  Raising money to support our Olympic Shooters has been really worth while. TALO editions with the help of Ruger Firearms and TALO distributors, dealers and collectors  have raised over $300,000 for our National Team.  Most folks don’t realize that most of the money to support this team comes from private sources as oppossed to other state supported teams. The US Team  was extremely successful this year and we are targeting 2012 for further triumphs.  I have a great video of the medal ceremony I’ll try to post.

Winchester's Mike Ferg, look at shell & powdered pigeon
