Ah yes, the International Armament Corporation (a.k.a., Interarms). Wikipedia has a wikkid entry on Interarms’ founder Samuel Cummings whose company “came to dominate the free world market in private arms sales.” Wow, right? There’s a great story about the CIA-trained arms dealer’s relations with Latin America that includes the classic line “an enraged General Trujillo stormed into the room carrying an AR-10 rifle taken off the body of a dead insurgent, demanding to know why Cummings had supplied guns to his enemies.” I’m thinking money had something to do with it. Less clear: who bought Cummings’ supplied .9mm Ultra Star pistols? Easy to smuggle and conceal sure, but not nearly as lethal as Eugene Stoner’s handiwork. In fact, I bet the seller Duracoated this gun so he could find it more easily. And now, here it is, magnified (obviously), for sale, for small change. [h/t JoshinGa]
I want to know where I can buy some of these 45 caliber handguns people always talk about without having to get a tax stamp for a destructive device.
Or a battleship

Are you for real? You don’t need a tax stamp to buy a .45. You do need a background check and in your state you may need a purchase permit or FOID or something but you don’t need a tax stamp.
FLAME DELETED – THE COMMENT WAS A JOKE
Man, the .9mm has taken on a life of it’s own. I think it’s even overtaken ” the shoulder thingy that goes up”.
Just wait til someone tells the antis about this new, ultra concealable handgun round. I heard Jerry Tsai is already writing an article up about it, and how dangerous it would be for civilians to have.
The .9mm is a 9×19 case necked down to .9mm right? It fires a 11.5 gran bullet at warp speed.
If you load it hot you can make warp 3 I heard
It is good to see no one one this discussion board ever exaggerates
Scotty I need warp 3.5 on that 9mm.
OK but I can only give you a 4.8 grain bullet.
When fired, the shooter actually goes back in time.
.9 mm in +p will go faster than warp, and even faster than ludicrous, it will go to plaid.
Boo yah. Spaceballs, one of the worst movies ever.
You’re joking, right? Spaceballs is fvcking hilarious.
May the Schwartz be with you.
Ah I see your Schwartz is as big as mine!!!
Spaceballs is a very funny movie!!!!
I disagree. When you have honed your finer senses to the beauty of the classics, you will then appreciate “Spaceballs”.
I don’t care who agrees with me since “I’m my own best friend.”
“Don’t be sorry, be quiet!”
I have to ask dose any one know where I can buy a guide rod for my star 9mm ultrastar
