Is Wildey Firearms Defunct?

[bowfin]

The last I had heard, Wildey Firearms was back in the hands of the original owner and producing the handgun for the Jordanian Army.

However, their website hasn't been updated in a while, the phone is disconnected, and no one has seen hide nor hair of them in a while.

Does anybody have any solid information on this company?

I haven't seen or heard about them since I tried to buy a 475 Wildey back in the late 70's.

I spoke with them about 18 months ago. Their barrel supplier for the big autoloader died, and they had not found a replacement yet. I was able to get a spare magazine for my 45 WM.

It would be nice if somebody with the capitol and desire to make them would surface.

I bought a new 475 back in the 80's but never really liked it. The gun was huge and it seemed to jam every other round no matter what I did . Nice looking gun though. It always went bang the first time but that's about it. It was powerful, but I couldn't trust it.

Glad I sold it.

I stumbled onto this a month or two ago:

Has anybody heard anything else on Wildey? I've tried calling them but no answer.
