F.I. Industries of Washington DC

[Bradster]

Does anyone know anything about handguns from F.I. Industries of Washington DC?

All I know is that I've only seen one other one in the past 10 years or so.

Here's mine.



Model D .380 ACP


Search Iver Johnson, and STAR.
As I understand it, all three made copies of, or bought the rights from Colt.

I don't know if F.I. made other models or not.
That's the best I can do... hope that helps, and welcome to the forum!

Thats cool. I have seen a few on Gunbroker and Guns America but none like this one. It is all chrome and completly engraved and was just curious as to how rare it was.

FI INDUSTRIES MODEL D 380 - EXCELLENT IN BOX - This is the gun Colt used as the original Colt Pony. When the deal with FI ended, t was marketed by FI and later Iver Johnson. A small all steel locked breech 380 that handles exactly like a GM 45.

$35.70?
Ouch.

I found a business card for a local guy who sells hard to find parts... I'll call and get a price. I think I only paid $15 for my spare mag. (Although that was about eight years ago)

He doesn't have a "shop", so it may take a day or so to get in touch with him.
