| Abstract: |
Production figures listed in the publication were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). Information for the 1986-1993 period was gathered from annual ATF computer printouts of firearms production. Information for the 1975-1985 period was obtained from ATF microfiche records on firearms manufacturers. Firearm manufacturers are listed alphabetically by licensee name or most commonly known trade or product name. Manufacturers include companies that produce finished firearms and firearm components. Caliber listings include not only all handguns produced of that caliber but also intermediate calibers that are greater than the previous caliber listing. Address and telephone information is provided for each firearm manufacturer. |
