Once you own one, you can appreciate the effort and the price.

Nice video. I wonder how long before the next batch hits the US. I know they were available for a couple weeks a year or 2 ago, but not around for long.

Good Question~ I have not heard anyone even state an opinion. A few years ago Champuis Armes was producing only 400 per year. I have heard Beretta is handling imports to both Australia and the USA. I have read where some state they were concerned Beretta may enable or have Champuis increase production. This begs the question as to whether this would reduce the quality.

In the video Ian says they are producing about 10 revolvers per day.

What about their rifles and shotguns?

Sorry but you have to direct your question to Gun Jesus.

I love factory tours and have been to Calico when it was in Bakersfield, S&W, Remington and Ruger.
