From the 'you cant have' lists - Calico and one Ingram PCC

[Dosing]

Ya, more forbidden stuff. Admittedly the Calicos had a poor reputation for reliability, but the cool helical mag stood out 30+ years ago. For those interested there is a little archive of catalogues and sales lit on IA, pdf links below.

I really like that Durango carbine. I’ve seen a few on American auctions.

featured prominently in the 1990 film "i come in peace" also called "dark angel".

As soon as I saw the pictures of the rifle my first thought was “space gun” lol
Guess I was right

When I was younger a buddy owned one of the Calico .22's. Man, we put thousands of runs through that thing; it was an absolute hoot! It jammed occasionally, but it never actually broke and it was still shooting pretty well after years of use and abuse. We fast-fired it a lot, but rarely more than 10 or so rounds at a time, usually less. Shot like that I'm 80% certain that it was 95% reliable at least 70% of the time.

Yes, that giant space-gun hi-cap magazine was ultra cool.

Fast forward to now; if you shot that gun in most places, you'd likely have a cop car screech up to you in the middle of your first 100-round mag-dump.

The Calico were garbage when they were new. The 22's may have been MEH but the 9mm were positively cr@p. I remember shooting them at our local range.

Buddy had one in 9mm, a little fussy on ammo brands but lotsa fun to shoot.

They look like garbage imo. But must have terrified people back in the day.

Terrified the pearl-clutching types, they were all added to the Prohib list of 98, with all the other scary stuff of that order like the SPAS 12, the Barrett 82 and of course the HK G11. I would like to say the all time dumbest paranoid list since a number of the guns on the list were unobtanium, but well, look where we are now.

Check out the Calico dressed up in the movie “Deep Rising”….looked like a lot of fun
