until late '81 or early 82. The first guns actually made it to gun shops in '84 and there was only around 500 of them made before they dropped them in '87 or '88. So saying they were first is sorta a maybe. Freedom Arms 454 made it to the gun shops in late '83. So theoretically Freedom Arms was first. But again that is not what the quiz was about.
