ACCOKEEK, MD --(Ammoland.com)- For 2011, Uberti is offering the Cattleman in matching, two-gun sets chambered for .357 Magnum.

Destined to be a must-have among the cowboy action shooters, Uberti’s matching Cattleman sets will also be treasured by collectors.

Matching single-action army revolvers, often sought-after and rarely found, are now available, new in the box, directly from the Uberti factory.

Historically, matching sets of single-action army revolvers were most often presented to high-ranking military and government officials, presidents and other heads of state.

The matched sets share the same serial number, but are distinguished from each other by an R or an L preceding the serial number.

Uberti is offering the matching Cattleman sets in four different versions, all of which are New Model (NM) steel Cattleman revolvers. Two versions come in standard blued finish with color case hardened frames and a one piece walnut grip—both with a 5 ½ inch barrel.

“Holding a pair of Uberti’s matched-set Cattleman revolvers is like holding a pair of Aces,” said Stephen McKelvain, Benelli’s VP of Marketing & Communications.

Wilson Combat Contemporary Classic 1911 Pistol

Wilson Combat Contemporary Classic 1911 Pistol

Wilson Combat

Berryville, AR --(Ammoland.com)- Wilson Combat will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the gun that helped build our company and the American genius that invented it, John Moses Browning.

Browning was the greatest firearms designer the world has ever known and the 1911 handgun is arguably his best effort. Designed in a time when electricity was still new and automobiles were a rare sight- the 1911 is a true engineering masterpiece that has not only withstood the test of time, but also evolved into what many consider the ultimate fighting pistol.

When considering a special gun to pay tribute to this important anniversary and this extraordinary man, we wondered what would John Moses Browning create today if he had Wilson Combat engineering and manufacturing quality at his disposal and the benefit of seeing how his creation had evolved in the last century?

Using the same materials Browning would have used in his era like forged and billet machined carbon steels, presentation walnut for grips and painstakingly hand-finished bone charcoal blue from Doug Turnbull, Wilson Combat has built a modern version of what Browning might have originally envisioned with his 1911-The New Wilson Combat Contemporary Classic.

Limited to 100 serial numbered pieces in 2011, the Contemporary Classic is hand crafted with turn-of-the-century materials and finish-with many Wilson enhanced performance options to suit the modern shooter. Custom features abound-and they all have a practical purpose-fine checkering fore and aft for enhanced grip, better sights with a gold bead insert front blade, and better ergonomic controls like a beavertail grip safety that will make this an easier pistol to shoot well than an original-especially for more than a handful of rounds. A fine presentation case is included to protect and display your investment.

Browning’s original features still remain like an integral lanyard loop attachment for field use and flat mainspring housing and long, steel trigger that will still fit most hands perfectly a century later. We added our carry cuts to the front of the slide in deference to Browning’s second greatest handgun design, the GP-35 or “Hi-Power”, a feature that gives a the slide distinctive silhouette and enables easy holstering. You will also note the “JMB” initials and unique serial number, our lasting tribute to the “Maestro” on every gun.
