I just got an email for the US Firearms November newsletter.
Some interesting tidbits...
US Firearms is planning to introduce its own ammunition line. It appears to be mostly "cowboy action" loadings with prices ranging from $30-$35. *yawn* Anyways...
Here is the interesting part that I copy/paste below.
USFA® OFFICERS MODEL® Tactical 1911 45 ACP and
New SHOOTING MASTER™ Magnum Series including the SPARROWHAWK™ scaled frame magnum in .32/.327 Federal
USFA® is proud to announce that a large New England Police Department has requested testing and rapid deployment of USFA's purpose built OFFICERS MODEL® Tactical 45 ACP; has been in the testing and commissioning phase since June 2008. Testing at USFA ranges using “duty” ammo as provided by the department. More to follow as pictures will be available after final sign off next month. This will be USFA's first product directed to the law enforcement market.
USFA is the FN/Herstal- FNH-USA Law Enforcement Rep. for Connecticut. In that capacity USFA delivered on contracts last month to local law enforcement, specifically the Town of Farmington and Town of Canton Police/SWAT departments.
Contact Doug Donnelly at USFA (860-296-7441) for further quotation and delivery on great FN products.
USFA enters Magnum Market with New SHOOTING MASTER™ Magnum Series. Totally redesigned frame and other features. Calibers to be 357 S& W Magnum, New USFA® .41 Short Mag. and .44 S&W Magnum. The first frame style is the 3rd to be engineered in the Series. The #3 Frame, as it is internally known, at USFA®, will be the first in production with the #2 Frame an #1 Frame released in 2009. The #3 will feature an optional interchangeable fibre optic front sight by TRU-GLO® on the newly designed barrel at extra cost.
SPARROWHAWK™ is USFA's scaled magnum frame (a take off on the Sparrowhawk Falcon as the smallest of the Hawk family) specifically made for the .32 cartridge. Available in 2009, in .32 H&R Magnum and .327 Federal in a separate cylinder all fitted in one gun.
Barrel lengths to be 7-½ inch initially in both SHOOTING MASTER™ and SPARROWHAWK™, finished in a tuff and durable CERACOAT® Ceramic with hard chrome lined barrels for long life and easy cleanup after the range or hunting. Colors are numerous. Stand by for more information and pictures in the next USFA newsletter.
