FORT SMITH, Arkansas –-(Ammoland.com)- Umarex USA is expanding its line of .45 ACP handguns. Adam Blalock, President and CEO of Umarex USA said,
“The strong success of the Regent R100 illustrates that the consumer is looking for a high-quality, value driven 1911.
The quality of the Regent is unparalleled in the market for its retail price point, and in 2012, we are adding two additional Regent handguns that offer outstanding features normally found in much higher priced models. Combining quality with affordable retail prices, consumers will clearly recognize the value of both the Regent R200S and R350CR.”

The R200S is already shipping with Hogue grips installed and factory standard customized features such as a beavertail grip safety, ambidextrous thumb safety, commander-style hammer, and skeleton trigger. This Regent stainless retails for under $600.
The R350CR is expected to ship this spring.

Brownells is your friend.
