Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Developed in 1985 by David M. Dugger, a Washington police officer and firearms instructor, the D-Max Industries 100 was a semi-automatic carbine. It was designed for law enforcement use with an aim to improve on firepower of normal sidearms at a lower cost. The company made two models: the D-Max 100C carbine with a 16-inch barrel and the D-Max 100P pistol with a 6-inch barrel. They both had 30-round magazines and were chambered for different rounds including .45 ACP, 9mm Parabellum, and even 10mm Auto. These weapons used walnut furniture, and an aluminum barrel shroud, and were finished in the MAX-Coat proprietary finish. Furthermore, they had some features taken from the Sten submachine gun design such as sideways-feeding magazine wells and related system of bolts. However accurate they were reported to be or how reliable they have been proved themselves to be; however reports have it that the weapon never became very popular among users. Consequently, production started in 1986 at suggested retail prices of $477 (for pistols) and $487(for carbines). Its demise has left behind scarce collector’s items since they are no longer in business.
