*SOLD* Davis Industries D38 .38 Spl Chrome 2.75" *AWESOME OVER/UNDER DERRINGER*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis
Davis Industries was a firearms manufacturer established in 1982 by Jim Davis. Davis produced a series of handguns, which were sold primarily through pawn shops and marketed towards the common consumer. The guns were constructed of injection-molded Zamak, a zinc alloy. Jim Davis was previously the office manager at Raven Arms, established by George Jennings, and was also Jennings' son-in-law. As one of the companies connected to Raven Arms and a maker of Saturday night specials, Davis was described by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as one of the "Ring of Fire" companies, a series of companies established around Los Angeles, California, all of which manufactured handguns of similar design and all of which were connected to Raven Arms.
Davis was a company that specialized in producing and selling small firearms, including pocket pistols and derringers. These firearms were available in a range of calibers, such as .22 LR, .22 WMR, .25 ACP, .32 ACP, .32 H&R Mag (introduced in 1995), and .38 Spl (introduced in 1992). While their main focus was on smaller firearms, they also marketed some larger handguns chambered in 9mm parabellum and .45 ACP.
