Why I won't own Springfield Armory Inc Guns.

what else do you want? Looks?

I have always thought the XD's looked cool, but I also wear my houseshoes to the mall, so what do I know?

I agree. I think the XD Tactical and the XDm 5.25 are two of the best looking Polymer guns on the market.

I don't care that their guns aren't American made. Hell, besides my ARs most of my guns aren't. I just don't care for their deceiving marketing.

I care that lots of these guns aren't American made, but not enough to stop me from buying or using them.

The Best looking XDs are one you look at in the dark

I bought my XD because it is a proven gun that fits me well and I can shoot well. I don't care about the history of a product, just whether or not it's an excellent product or not. Same goes for their slogan, it's just a marketing tactic that seems to be successful.

Just to clarify, not all Springfield M1As are crap. The older ones, especially the pr e-ban models were built right using almost all, if not all USGI parts. The receivers are still cast but to be honest if you manage to break a cast M1A receiver you've either got huge problems or are shooting many thousands and thousands of dollars worth of ammo underwater.

That being said I do take a bit of offense to Springfield's market using the trust and honor that the ORIGNAL Springfield Armory earned by defending this country for so many years with quality AMERICAN made firearms. I do, however, still want a TRP Operator.

I have owned several Springfields over the years, and never had a problem with any of them. I do prefer Glock's and S&W, and do not own any Springfields now.

so their guns arent bad, they are just overpriced and dishonest as a company?

sounds like remington

I agree 100%. Good pistols, dishonest company.
As far as Ruger... When Bill Ruger was alive, he would not sell full-capacity Mini-14 magazines to the civilians. Apparently it has changed after his death.
