I had a Wyoming Arms 10 mm auto years ago.It was a stainless steel model stamped Wyoming Arms,Thermopolis Wyoming on it.It was a good looking pistol and it felt good in the hand.It shot very accurate but it jammed on me all the time about every second or third shot.I tried different ammo in it and it still did it.I won`t keep a pistol I cant rely on to function flawlessly.I ended up trading it for a bull barreled 223 Rem with a fanatastic old style Weaver V9 on it.
I wonder what happened to Wyoming Arms?I`ve never seen another pistol like the one I had.

Wyoming Arms went out of business in 1992 or thereabouts ...
Im not smart or nothing but I lucked out on a web search and that part sentence was buried in there somewhere.

Good info Jason..I seen a pistol at a gunshow a while back from AMT that looked similar to the Wyoming arms pistol..
Maybe all that jamming problem had something to do with their demise.

The Pistols where so bad that after their rep got around no one would buy them so they went out of business in the early 90's . I looked at them when they where in production, and never though much of them . Couple of my friend purchased one but could never get them to shoot without jaming and sold them .
