Why????????

[NWSharpshooter]

Let's not forget their CZ clones of 80's.They are a gun company that has NEVER made their own gun. Always copied someone else...

Copy hell, they just stamp their name on somebody else's product. Springfield manufacturers nothing.

They do make one gun...

The Professional. That's it.

They don't even make it. It's still built on an Imbel frame and slide out of Brazil. They just do the final machining on it in Illinois.

Also, why even bring Glock into the discussion, nobody said anything about Glock. The discussion was that Springfield Armory is a half rate importer selling half rate guns that wouldn't sell if it wasn't for Springfield's misleading ad campaign. A simple google search of the failed HS2000 shows this to be true.

I wouldn't call them half rate, I haven't read too many accounts of SA not backing up a product that the sell, even if is a product from overseas that they stamp their name on.

I call them half rate based off of their misleading advertising campaign. They do stand behind the products they import, in fact they have some of the best customer service in the industry.

I'm of the opinion that the best CS is the kind you don't need.

Just because no one has said it does not mean they are not thinking it. And no one ever accuses Glock of being a half rate importer selling half rate guns. Except maybe Sig junkies. If folks don't like the fact that the guns are manufactured elsewhere, that's cool. I just get really tired of hearing about how they are junk, when that is clearly bull****. Actually, I get really tired of hearing how any gun but a Glock is crap. Actually, I get really tired of hearing about how Glocks are crap. All of the "your gun sucks" BS is just really tiresome.

I have a XD-9 subcompact and I love it...haven't had a problem ever with it. Tru glo night sights and a trigger job. Personally I'm not a fan of glocks and to be honest it comes down to preference. It's one of my CCW guns when I'm not carrying my 45 1911.

I have to agree everyone has different preferences to what they like. So people should buy what they prefer and shut up about everything else.
