Made in America?

[VN Vet]

I appolgize to IndyGunworks. The first post did change the question to the USA.

How often I read but do not read.

i do understand your point... but i have never heard a canadian resident refer to themselves as "american"

No, I haven't either, but if the OP was not talking about just the USA then there's also Para Ordnance in Canada. I doubt that most people living in the Americas refer to themselves as American except people of the United States.

Ya know, I hate to say it, but Americans simply don't make the best firearms. In the wheel gun days, no doubt, America was king, but today, American manufacturers have fallen far behind German and Austrian manufacturers like Sig, H&K and Glock.

I didn't mean assembled in the USA. I meant stamped on the gun and parts thereof "made in the USA".

I don't disagree that other Countries make fine arms, I own an Italian made Beretta myself, I just like to support companies here in the USA. I work (don't know how much longer) in manufacturing and believe in "made in the USA". Not that I won't buy foriegn, but given the choice try not too.

Back to the thread though...any others?

Hardly. There are a dozen American made handgun brands that will hang with those brands tit for tat. The only thing the American brands don't have are bloated hype machines that are so ignorant about firearms that they load magazines backwards for photo shoots. The FUNNY thing is, the American brands keep selling guns anyway.
