titanic .32 cal long
Question
I have a titanic cal .32 long, F.I.E. Corp - Miami, FLA, stamped with 21538. Do you know anyone who could tell me anything about the gun in general and its history? I got it from my great uncle who passed away and it was underneath his bed. It appears to have never been fired.
Answer
Hello Ernie,
What you have is a Titan .32 long by FIE Corp., which stands for Firearms Import Export. They bought guns from overseas, like brazil, etc. and sold them in the U.S. to companies like Kmart or any number of other stores that were selling guns.
There are some safety issues involved with the Titan handguns, a few recalls/warnings have been placed in regards to the accidental discharge of guns based on mechanical failures. I would consider having the gun checked before attempting to fire it. These guns have little to no value, a gun in good shape could get you 100 dollars.
