The Argentines produce four models: the Militar is the standard military variant, and conforms most closely to the original HP-35; the M-90 is a modified version of the Militar, with a lengthened slide stop, reshaped manual safety, anatomical grips, and a plastic projection above the magazine well at the front to help with the grip. The "Detective," as it sounds, is a compact version of the M-90 for concealed work. The M-95 has two new safeties, a firing pin safety and an ambidextrous thumb safety. It also has adjustable front and rear sights. Twilight 2000 Story: Some of these pistols were still being used as late as 2025; however, the M-95 was never built.

    FIREARMS AWAITING PHOTO 1 Kimber Custom II .45 ACP and Silver Stag Knife with Display Case FIREARMS The 2018 Friends of NRA California Gun of the Year Set brings together two perfectly paired pieces in a custom display case designed to showcase the Kimber Custom II “NRA Freedom Warrior” 1911 and the Silver Stag 1911 Sidekick Fighter knife with matching grips. The 2018 Friends of NRA California Gun of the Year embodies Kimber’s commitment to crafting firearms of unequaled quality and dependability. Chambered in .45 ACP, the Kimber “Freedom Warrior” is a full-size 1911 with a 5-inch barrel. The slide and frame are finished in self-lubricating Desert Tan KimPro® II that offers outstanding additional resistance to chemicals, moisture, salt and UV light. This is complemented by matte black small parts. Exclusive stippled oak grips are engraved with the text “NRA Freedom Warrior,” and a black 3-hole match-grade trigger breaks crisp and clean with a pull of 4-5 pounds. Like all Kimber 1911s, each part of the “Freedom Warrior” is manufactured to the tightest tolerances and fitted together by hand with exceptional attention to detail. An excellent choice for both carry and home defense, this firearm is proudly made in America and, as a member of the Kimber family, is “What All Guns Should Be™.” The 1911 Sidekick Fighter knife from Silver Stag completes this set. The skillfully hand-crafted fixed-blade knife is the perfect tool for deer camp or self- protection. The 6-inch hand hollow-ground and jeweled high carbon D2 steel 3 FIREARMS blade and leather sheath with vertical and horizontal carry options both feature engraved Friends of NRA logos.
