No blast for gun makers in shrinking handgun market
The American handgun market has fallen steeply with a 52 percent drop in total domestic and overseas handgun sales from 1993 to 1999. Experts cite tougher purchasing rules, fears from shootings, market saturation, and a shrinking dealer base from 284,000 in 1992 to 104,000 today. Industry figures warn of a prolonged downturn for about 50 New England area manufacturers.
