Dayton, OH (June 1, 2009)–Charter Arms has released an explanation about why the company’s new rimless-ammunition firing revolver is not yet out.
According to a company statement, “The Charter Arms Rimless Revolver (CARR) is tested, patent checked, cleared and ready for production. Initially the first models in .40 caliber were to appear this past March with following models in 45 ACP and 9mm later this year.”
Since then, company spokesman Jim Shults said, “We don’t need to tell you what has happened with sales of firearms and ammunition in our country. Thanks to another terrific firearm salesman like President Clinton was in 1990, President Obama has pushed buying over the edge and companies are working like crazy just to keep up.
“This buying spree ramped firearm and ammunition demand up to astonishing levels in January 2009, and it has not slowed down.”
Shults explained that due to the incredible demand for firearms, Charter has been forced to keep dealers supplied with current model revolvers in order to meet current demand.
“In other words, the production line is pressed hard to fill the demand for current models. Therefore, it would be foolish to add more models at a time when just keeping up with current models is nearly impossible,” Shults said.
Further, the company release said it would be unfair to consumers and dealers alike to come out with items it cannot produce in matching demand numbers.
“Currently, Charter just could not keep up if they added a whole new product line at this particular time,” Shults said.
