TALO, Inc.

Interest in the John Wayne Ruger has accelerated. It will appear as an Editor’s Choice in the October American Rifleman issue.  TALO folks have to be pretty pleased with what is being said about the gun on the SAS forum and on the Ruger forum. We ran out of “It’s a Damn Fine Gun posters…. Thanks to those early responders for their kind words.

There are a number of interesting new limited editions in the works. Closest to shipping is a Colt 02091 .38 Super  EL Grito,   One of 300. due out in time for Mexican Independence Day

prototype photo, details to follow.

 The Ruger Phoenix P345 will also go into production this month..  more details to follow

Several new guns are in the works. 2 Colts, a Taurus, a new PPKS, Mossberg & Marlin.

About 1500 John Waynes have been shipped. Dealer reaction has been good. I have heard from a number of satisfied consumers. Ruger themselves are proud of the project. They are taking a gun out to a writer’s confab this week.  I emailed Lee Griffiths to see if he is any more famous for being the designer of the engraving. Not yet. Lee has plently of work on his own merits.

I saw an interesting Oak Leaf Stainless Gold Cup yesterday at the Colt Custom Shop being finished by Colt Master Engraver, George Spring. It featured deep-relief oak leaves, beautifully executed. Serial number Oak Leaf 2.

In the Key’s with Taurus. The company is having a great year and TALO’s business is growing. The .45 night sight has sold nearly 3000 units!
