Springfield Armory Gets "Hammered"

[RugersGR8]

I just wonder if the 9mm is the trial balloon? If it goes well, then maybe more calibers will follow? Seems kind of odd though, didn't the XDs start with the 45acp? I just wished that they could have retained the grip safety. I am not that hot on SAs, but I wonder if Glock will be coming out with something similar in the near future to keep up--along with Ruger and the rest? Ruger already had a good hammered pistol in their P series. All they would have to do is to go polymer frame instead of aluminum frame.

This gun in a 40 cal would be perfect.

I can't understand that reasoning,a pistol from Austria is ok but not Croatia. These pistol are great pistols.And are good enough for The likes of Massad Ayoob Clint Smith and Chuck Taylor

I don't own any Austrian ones, either, currently. Austria is very much aligned and renowned for manufacturing, Croatia not so much. Most people see SA and assume these are made in USofA. Springfield simply goes to Croatia, tells them what they want, agree to pay the price and import them. Standard fare there in the gun or manufacturing world, but they aren't SA made, was more my point.
I'm all for more choice of weapons, and they will sell some undoubtedly, but I think this gun answers an unasked question.

HS Produkt, makes as good a gun as anyone these days, Manufacturing is changing globally anywhere people can get away From US Taxes is where things are being made these days. They have a nice plant , things have changed in the last 15 years Chinese manufacturing is catching up with evreryone else as an example. Companies are pouring money into offshore manufacturing and the plants are as good as anywhere else anymore.

The fallout I believe is over. Memory is short lived when a human wants something. Of the nine separate personality types, the enthusiast is the one that desires satisfaction and contentment the most. Believing that fulfillment is available elsewhere. So it tends to reason that a weapon enthusiast is constantly looking to find that fulfillment. The mere thought of not purchasing a Springfield weapon based on actions rescinded by the company in Illinois is not beneficial to the enthusiast. Thus creating a reasonable conundrum that rarely can be overcome.

Most people like avocados, almonds and so on and those are made in Cali.
