Davis Industries was a firearms manufacturer established in 1982 by Jim Davis.[1] Davis produced a series of inexpensive handguns, which were sold primarily through pawn shops and marketed towards people with low income.[2] The guns were constructed of injection-molded Zamak, a zinc alloy.
Jim Davis had previously been the office manager at Raven Arms,[3] established by George Jennings, and was also Jennings' son-in-law.[1] As one of the companies connected to Raven Arms, and a maker of Saturday night specials, Davis was described by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as one of the "Ring of Fire" companies, a series of companies established around Los Angeles, California, all of which manufactured inexpensive handguns of similar design and all of which were connected to Raven Arms.[4]
