Not to be confused with the Harry Belafonte “Day-O” Tallyman editions.

Yeah, he's lying. Non-Legion Sigs are made in Vietnam. Incidentally, I have a Legion Sig for sale for $3000 next to my Noveske chainsaw lower and Florbert parlor rifle...Huh. Sigs are made in China? Seriously.
Really? Why does it say Exeter on themYeah, he's lying. Non-Legion Sigs are made in Vietnam. Incidentally, I have a Legion Sig for sale for $3000 next to my Noveske chainsaw lower and Florbert parlor rifle...
I'm just f***ing with you, sir.Really? Why does it say Exeter on them
It does explain the shit qc
TALO is Texas, ARKANSAS, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Not Arizona.TALO is an acronym for Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. I forget if it is a single firearm distributor for the region or a collection of them in those states. Every once in a while they will come out with a special edition of a firearm. Sometimes it is a special color, sometimes it’s engraved. I’m not sure how collectible they are or if they are limited production runs.
Pics pleaseEverything is laser engraved these days. Hand engraving cost too much and nobody wants to pay for it unless it's in an ultra high end gun.
My dad was friends with Bill Ruger Jr. We went to the company HQ in Southport many years ago, I'd guess late 90s, and watched the engravers working on shotguns and revolvers. That project only lasted a few years as nobody really wanted to pay for a custom shop Ruger.
I'll contrast that with a friend of mine named George Spring. He was THE master engraver at Colt in West Hartford. He did a set of pistols for one of the Bushes. He said he had something like 200+ hours into the guns.

Arkansas, not Arizona.
If you google George Spring and Colt you get lots of hits.Pics please
No denying it, that's one nice looking peashooter!Walther PPKS .380 Royal Oak

Some of it is just that Franklin Mint type stuff. OK, maybe not. Maybe halfway between a special Colt edition SAA and a Franklin Mint ruined firearm.
Looks like an Appleseed training rifle that was popular here for awhile.I have one of these:
Well, the Shelby tag did go to aftermarket bits for a while, but it came back pretty hard. The last round of Shelby GT500s in 2022 moved the engine from a naturally aspirated 5.0 liter making ~480HP to a supercharged 5.2 liter putting out 760 HP.I look at them like Shelby edition wahtever's from Ford. At one point, it meant something special. But over time, it was just a few aftermarket parts for a bit price bump.

And CCR singing Cotton Fields "down in Louisiana, just about a mile from Texarkana" missed it by about 30 miles.
So why didn't you ship it back to Ruger? The ones who did the crappy Cerakote job on it?Well ... they should check the stuff they distribute. No way I was putting all the stocks parts back in the gun and sending it back for them to do a sh*t job a second time. I decided to have it done the right way.
But I will still talk sh*t, because it speaks to the quality of people they work with. There are probably hundreds of people with the same issue I had.
I will give them one positive, they were very quick to reply to my Email and tell me to ship it to Ruger. :/
I went to @Golddiggie house, we were ripping the Cerakote with our fingers. Zero prep work underneath. I wonder how many were sprayed that way.

You can get in touch with a live human in about 2 minutes at SR and they will email you a shipping label. So zero cost to you both ways and very little time invested.

Talo is a distributor. These are “special” editi9ns sold only by that distributor. Nothing special, really.I keep seeing "talo editions" pop up
Do they do anything special to the guna other than night sights?
That’s definitely the answer to a question that I have never asked. No thank you very much.
