I sold a calico 951 rifle new in the box to a friend a few years back, he still hasn’t fired it it is pristine. Anyhow I have a calico 22 m100 pistol that I shot one time and it was a blast but I couldn’t empty the hundred round magazine my finger was so sore. Would you consider selling your calico 950 or trade for something else even my other 22 calico pistol?

In reply to .40 cal Booger. The calico website is officially down. It just went down at the beginning of August. Check the website link now, it’s broken. They are finished, I have two Liberty III Calicos with 6 drums, three 50rders, three 100rders and their speed loader

Still have the .22 rifle m100 I bought new in 86.
Somewhat picky about the ammo it likes. Back then rem golden bullet was a favorite. But it definitely likes hv more than standard velocity. Winding the mag the required 12 iirc times is a key to reliability.
Think I’ll get it out, haven’t shot it for a few years.

True story…

Just as the Clinton AWB Ban was signed into law and was about to go into effect in 1994, I bought *the* last new M950 available in SoCal. Loved that gun, and parted ways with it a dozen years later before immediately wishing I had kept it. My particular piece never jammed or had feeding issues, and was super simple to disassemble for cleaning.

Fun fact…the M950 was featured in Schwarzneggar’s movie “Total Recall” as a representative prop of what guns might look light in a future shootout on Mars.

“The company came back after the AWB sunsetted, but I have no idea if it’s still operational.”

Its got a web site, but doesn’t seem to be well maintained but is indicated to have still been active in 2025 (by the trademark indicator on the web site, so someone is updating it) and does work > https://calicofirearms.com/ > and they seem to still sell the ‘Calico M950 9mm Pistol’ only now they call it the ‘ 9mm Liberty III Pistol’ (at least it looks about the same).

They have an address and phone number and email:
