Wyoming Arms Auto

Can anyone provide any information on a semi-automatic pistol I came accross the other day. The weapon is made of stainless steel, and appears to be on the 1911 frame. The slide is marked, "Wyoming Arms Parker 10mm S.S. Pistol", Thermopolis, Wyoming. It has black plastic grips, and fixed sights. Any ideas when it was produced, how many were produced, and what the guns approximate value might be? Thanks in advance for any help?

    I have seen this gun for sale in the $300.00 to $400.00 range. I have not heard of it selling. The 10mm is a specialty round at best and has a few but devoted following. The Parker Arms Company produced a few of these. When and for how long I am not sure.

    I bought one of these when they first came out. It was really a piece of junk. There is a small spring loaded piece that will fall out when the slide is removed. I was really happy to trade it off at a loss, and I purchased a 10 mm Colt.

    I had a friend that had the same thing happen to him that happened to Peary. It fired four rounds and "froze up" and something inside broke. Someone broke into his house and stole it (must have liked shiney things. I hope he used it in a shootout with Police). My friend saved his money, bought a Delta Elite. NEVER looked back since.

    I live about 35 miles from Thermopolis Wyoming, and baught a couple of their guns when they first came out. Junk, nothing but problems with both of them. You still see a few around this country but they don't sell. I have always promoted Wyoming and it's products, Thank god for Freedom Arms. Snowshoe
