Man! I lose track of what is from where when these companies start importing stuff. It's hard to follow sometimes. I think they make it confusing too.

When it states "MADE IN CROATIA" in all caps on the gun's frame, I really don't see how someone misses that. It's a very good line of handguns and they have many fine attributes, but American-made isn't one of them.

HS2000.

Personally, I've not found a better polymer frame pistol, GLOCK included.

I would agree, but I've only seen two at a gun show and haven't handled any, so I missed it. Friend of mine mentioned where they were made at and it surprised me. It's sort of like a lot of things, companies that were solely American made are no longer. The ones I saw at a gun show have led me to think about maybe trading a Beretta Nano for one.

The XDs is my daily carry now, replaced my Glock 30. Thing is so easy to carry and less recoil than you would expect. Very well engineered.

The "Springfield Armory" you're probably thinking about used to manufacture military rifles. They went out of business many years ago. (The 70's I think).

This is what you call getting an education. I appreciate the posts, it helps an old newbie figure things out.

Springfield Armory 1911s are largely, not exclusively, made in Brazil. The HS2000 is still a good gun if it fits your hand. Amazing what a little ad budget will do for you.
