Armscor Revolvers

[keeterbird]

I overheard someone saying that these are made with the machinery purchased from Colt, when Colt went out of the revolver business.

Does anyone know anything about these? Are they colt designed?

Are they any good?

I've seen a couple, they seemed like decent pistols. They had a decent trigger, and finish, they just aren't polished like a name brand.

A co-worker of mine uses one to shoot rodents in/around his barn. He loves it for that task, but I'm not sure about anything else.

look allot like Colt mechanics to me... Same latch and cylinder. Just not finished out the same.

I had one of the 2" through the shop. Nice little gun for the money. Sure looked like a Colt to me. I would bet the mechanics are different because Colt revolvers are expensive to make. Ergo, they dont make them anymore.

Maybe the same. I've never had one apart, but with phillipino labor costs being what they are, I wouldn't be surprised .

These are the same folks that make the Charles Daly and Rock Island 1911's, the entry level STI and Tanfoglio CZ copies so affordable

Pictures please.

we'll we had one fail on the gun range Sat. the cylinder froze and the trigger stuck in the rear position.... so Sam's opening it up this week... so I will tell ya what he thinks pretty soon.

I have one of these right now. Out of morbid curiosity I decided to pull the side plate/grips and see what the story is.

I can categorically state that these owe nothing to the Colt Dick etc. Nor do they resemble a Smith. The design seems to have been the work of Satan, with input by Lorcin Engineering and production help by Taurus. I spent half an hour getting it back together, and all I did was remove the side plate and grips.

The gun will work OK as a truck gun or night stand gun. But once it breaks, that's probably curtains for it.

Rabbi, thanks for the info. I was curious as well.
