WEST HARTFORD, CONN., (July 26, 2019) — Four Colt revolvers have been added to California’s “certified for sale” roster approved by the state’s Department of Justice. Each handgun passed all firing, safety, and drop tests required for certification and can now be legally purchased in California through licensed firearms dealers.

Models now available for sale in California include the 2” stainless matte Cobra with fiber-optic front sight (SM2FO) and its big brother, the brushed stainless steel, 3”.357 magnum King Cobra with brass bead front sight (KCOBRA-SB3BB). Most recently approved are two variations of the 2”, matte black DLC coated, .38 special Night Cobra – one with custom Colt G10 grips and night sight (COBRA-MB2NS), the other with hyena brown grips and a brass bead sight (COBRA- MB2BB-HB). The approved models are currently shipping to California dealers and are available for purchase.

“We have a loyal customer base in California, and we are following state-mandated protocol to ensure as many of our models as possible are available to them,” said Justin Baldini, Director of Marketing at Colt. “We are happy to know that California residents will have the chance to become Colt owners and we encourage them to stop by any of our stocking dealers. We plan to see additional models approved soon.”

California’s Department of Justice manages the Bureau of Firearms which oversees education, regulation and enforcement actions regarding the manufacture, sales, ownership, safety training, testing and transfer of firearms.

Black Aces Tactical (BAT), a veteran owned American manufacturer, is very proud to announce the release of a very special line of shotguns.  

Said Black Aces Tactical, “Black Aces Tactical has been working quietly yet diligently to bring to the waiting public a quality side by side. One of the most requested items from our valued customers and dealers was a well built side by side 12 gauge that is offered as a good price. This is why we include many features and options customers might not expect. For instance we include free of charge a small bear claw grip along with the full stock.  So the shooter can use the side by side with the full stock as normal, and then utilize the bear claw grip when he or she wants something more compact.  With the bear claw grip, the side by side is 26.5” overall length, or the length of a standard Shockwave.”

Side by Side specs are:

• 12 Gauge shotgun with chokes

• 26.5” Overall length with bear claw grip

• 18.5″ Barrel

• 35.5″ Overall Length

• Choice of Black finished Walnut or Walnut Furniture

• Choice of Black receiver or Nickel plated receiver

• 2 ¾ and 3 inch chamber

• Extractors

• Gold trigger

• Barrel Selectors

The Side by Side features the most options available in a price point weapon.  Black Aces Tactical is proving itself focused on value, quality, and affordability by offering options like a full set of chokes, gold trigger, barrel selectors, and the all important short bear claw grip as standard.  Moreover, we are offering receiver and furniture options that will suit virtually every shooter.  The Side by Side shotguns are shipping now from Black Aces Tactical.
