They seem to have stopped publishing the data awhile back, but here's a general idea:
Quote:
10 most frequently traced guns in 1994
1 Lorcin P25 (3,223)
2 Davis Industries P380 (2,454)
3 Raven Arms MP25 (2,107)
4 Lorcin L25 (1,258)
5 Mossburg 500 (1,015)
6 Phoenix Arms Raven (959)
7 Jennings J22 (929)
8 Ruger P89 (895)
9 Glock 17 (843)
10 Bryco 38 (820)

The industry has changed in some respects. Lorcin, Davis, Raven, Jennings, and Bryco are no longer around, and Hi-Point is a relative newcomer. However, the criminal MO hasn't changed much. If there's one common factor, it's
price.
It's not the fault of Hi-Point or MKS Supply that their guns get used in crimes, but the low cost makes it an unfortunate consequence.
