Hi Bennett, do you know what magazine that ad was in? It looks different than the ad I have. Always fun to get the magazine with early reference to a gun.

Then if I could find an article on the gun... probably not.

Thanks,
TomD

I remember seeing it in more than 1 magazine. Not sure if there was a dedicated article on that particular gun being that it was sold by a secondary source. It might be interesting to see how many different magazines from the 1989-1990 time period had ads for this pistol in them. I would love to see one in person. I drooled on the ad because with a young family owning one was impossible...

Tom, I don't remember but I'll see if I can locate it.

Tom, I found one of the ads with order form in April 1990 Guns & Ammo (Volume 34, No. 4) on page 5.

The ad was also in American Handgunner July/August 1990 on page 9. There is an ad for the 40th anniversary on ebay if you are interested. I believe it is from Guns and Ammo

Awesome! Thanks to you both.

The 40th was a limited edition of 950 offered by The American Historical Foundation, here's a link to their website. https://www.ahffirearms.com/
They do not show any reference to it on the sight but you can contact them and see what information they might have on it.

Thanks to all for the help. I will continue to hunt for one
Because one of those would be perfect in my accumulation, uh I mean collection
I knew I could count on y’all!

Rick I hope you find one of the 40th anniversary models. Would love to drool on one in person!
