American demand for handguns has fueled a 28 percent jump this decade in world exports of pistols, rifles, shotguns and other small arms, a global report said Thursday.
The 2009 Small Arms Survey reported that the Untied States alone was responsible for about half of the worldwide increase in legal international gun sales between 2000 and 2006. The U.S. now accounts for over half of the world's imports of pistols and revolvers and 45 percent of shotguns, it said.
"No other country imports more than 4 percent of the global total," the 344-page report found.
It illustrated how U.S. purchases of hand guns - which averaged $173 million annually - have driven a sharp rise in exports from a number of countries.
Austria remained the world's largest seller of pistols and revolvers with a 25 percent jump since 2000. Seventy-five percent of its exports go to the United States. Croatian exports soared almost 24 times in value since the start of the decade. The U.S. accounted for 98 percent of its 2006 sales of $27 million

Sounds like someone’s prepping to take back the govt.
Why? Because we can. (For now.)
Can never have enough weapons. Never know when and where you might need one.
Be prepared. Be a good boy scout.
Thanks to the stimulus check, I now am the proud owner of a new Ruger LCP ... love it. Thank you, Nancy, Harry, Barry, etc. Love my new gun. (Now if I could just find a bullet for less than $1 per round for it! :-)
Well, I do what I can to help!
Is the Ruger a .380?
What stimulus check?
Unnamed White house officials pooping their pants in fear ....
With 0bama's voodoo economics I can see why American manufacturers would be very hesitant to borrow or invest large sums of capital in additional buildings and machinery to expand their production lines.
A ammo manufacturer in this area was working shifts 6 days a week earlier this year. As their suppliers cut back they returned to a 5 day work week.
We’re not done buying yet either.
$173 million? That’s it?
I recently adopted this Italian orphan. It has a good home now.

Nice copy of the early SAA with “black powder” style frame. Careful dropping that hammer if you use a holster, I knew a guy that shot himself in his thigh with a SAA and almost very nearly bleed to death.
A job worth doing is worth doing right.
My contribution: an imported P6, beautiful instrument to behold, ex-German police, barely shot. Was a steal at a gun show last October.

I can’t seem to find any .380 anywhere. I was just able to buy some .223, 9mm, and 7.62x39, though. Fun times.
As a carry gun, that is wonderful. I have one, and have added Crimson Trace grips to it.
Both of my carry pieces have CT grips.
Very nice addition if you can.
