Florida based company, European
American Amory Corporation, a
leading US importer of European
firearms, has made it a mission to
“bring the U.S. consumer firearms
that are on the cutting edge of
technology and quality.”
The new MC1911 C by Girsan
was built to offer the power of a
10mm but in a more manageable
size for carry.
For years the 10mm has gained
popularity for its increased power
and performance, frequently being
used by guides and outfitters as
their go-to bear gun. Now Girsan
has not only made this option
affordable, but they’ve made their
steel frame 1911 in 10mm easier to
carry. “Normally when you try to
get a smaller barrel on a handgun
with more firepower there is some
compromise, but Girsan really
found a way to make this smaller
handgun a pleasure to shoot and be
very accurate right out of the box.”
said Keith Bernkrant, President of
Consumer Tracking Study”. Southwick’s
yearly survey compiled the feedback of over
9,000 hunters and recreational shooters.
“Once again, CCI is very proud of the
continued popularity of Blazer Brass
centrefire handgun ammunition,” said
Handgun Ammunition Product Director,
Nick Sachse. “We continue to push to
provide consumers with a quality product
that performs as well as consumers expect
it to. We are also incredibly pleased to see
that consumers are choosing CCI Blazer
for their target shooting needs.”
CCI is known for its shotshells in
popular handgun calibres, along with its
Blazer and Blazer Brass target ammunition
that includes a new 10mm offering. CCI
New Blazer Brass 10mm Auto pushes its
180-grain FMJ bullet fast for accurate,
realistic training. The loads use reliable
brass cases and non-corrosive, nonmercuric
CCI primers for clean, reliable
ignition and consistent ballistics.
“Not only is CCI a popular brand
for handgun shooters, CCI also ranked
high in both the rifle ammunition and
reloading components categories,”
continued Sachse. “When it comes to
target shooting or hunting with handgun
or rimfire cartridges, as well as primers for
reloaders: CCI continues to be a top-tier,
go-to option for all types of shooting
enthusiasts.”
