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.

In the works

March 7th, 2009

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.
