So people STILL bitch about Ruger and he is cold, dead and six feet under with the company damn near embracing everything high capacity and concealed carry now. Smith and Wesson was basically a hot second away from villagers with torches and pitchforks at their door and is still hated for the lock. I feel like somebody should have pulled these corporate officers in a room and give them the old "c'mere sparky.......name Custer mean anything to you?" I mean Christ we gun owners are longest memory, grudge keeping, nose in spite of face, get off my lawn sumbitches this side of the Army Ranger retirement home. I mean Jesus 2 words......Jim Zumbo and all he did was get a serious case of foot in mouth disease. Springfield and Rock River better embrace the old there is no such thing bad publicity only publicity mantra because I think there be a shit storm a brewin' "Guns are tools. The only weapon ever created was man." | |||

Gonna rue the day they will. They must know that these facts will spread like wild fire amongst the gun forums. There likely won't be a serious gun owner alive who won't know about it eventually.

I was kind of intrigued about the new XD-e. That's not happening now. RRA can kiss my arse as well. | |||

Springfield just lost my business as well. | |||

I was just thinking about selling something to fund a similar purchase. Guess I won't now. _______________________________________ Flammable, Inflammable, or Nonflammable....... Hell, either it Flams or it doesn't!! (George Carlin) | |||

Yesterday, I was at Sportsman Warehouse fondling the Glock 30SF and the SA XD in .45. I couldn't decide, and the salesdude say wait until Saturday, the SA are going on sale. Well guess what, I suppose I'm finally getting a Glock. I read I'd eventually do that somewhere... ___________________________ He looked like an accountant or a serial-killer type.

Wow, me thinks somebody missed marketing 101. Who releases a new product literally right after you piss of your customer base. I just went to there Facebook page and call me a meteorologist because I was correct. A shit storm indeed be a brewin'". Hell I even posted. Do you know how many times I have posted to Facebook???? Once.......today.....because of this bullshit. That in of itself should give somebody some idea that maybe we course corrected a wheeeeebbit close to that iceberg. "Guns are tools.

Did these guys learn nothing from Ruger and Smith & Wesson? What is a state gov't going to give you that makes up for losing the majority of your customer base? | |||

Didn't look on FaceSpace, but I took a peek at their Twitter and they don't seem to be getting slagged there a lot. Some, but it's being buried in all their promo tweets about some giveaway they're running. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

I'm not a 1911 guy, but always thought a SA 1911 would end up in my stable, not anymore... RRA will never get any business from me either. Its amazing to see gun manufacturers so this to themselves to me. Glad I can find everything I need from someone else, capitalism allows the customer to be the final arbiter of a company's bottom line and, thus, survival. | |||

I'll admit, I was sort of wanting an XD-S in 9mm... God bless America. | |||

A smarter move long term, would be for both to move out of Illinois to a state that is more gun, business, and personal liberty friendly. A move out of state would have cost them much less in the long run. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||
