Ephrata, Pennsylvania’s U.S. Armament Corp (USAC) has been around since 2007 and they are best known for offering premium quality firearms such as the 1877 “Bulldog” Gatling Gun and Colt-licensed 1903 Pocket Hammerless/General Officer’s Pistol in .32ACP, the latter seen in parkerized, blued and Royal Blue finishes.
Such as these fine creatures:
Well, they have been teasing pictures of a new catalog offering, specifically the Colt 1908 .380ACP pistol.
For those unaware, both the M1903 and M1908 were John Browning designs for Colt prior to his invention of the famed M1911. Blowback operated, these guns are incredibly slim even by today’s standards, and proved popular enough in their time to remain in production from the 1900s through the end of World War II, with plenty of each model seeing military and law enforcement service into the 1970s.
No word on the cost of the new USAC M1908s, but as a benchmark, Colt lists their 1903 licensed repro for $1,544— when it’s in stock.
