Springfield armory, from the CEO

[Long Fuse]

Show me another compact, sub $500, less than 2 lbs, DA/SA, external hammer 9mm with an external, frame-mounted safety/de-cocker that is in current production and readily available for purchase. GO!

CZ-P07?

I think the CEO's apology was sincere. I do like the 1911 TRP they make and the new Hellcat.

So lets summurize.

No SA cause someone made a bad mistake
No SW cause they put the internal Lock on revolvers
No Rugers cause Bill was a jerk
No Glocks cause they are plastic made in Austria
No Remington/Marlin cause they just suck
No Colts cause they go bankrupt every few years and will not make Civilian ARs
Can not buy any guns made in Turkey
Taurus is well you know

Guess that leaves Sig?? Not sure if they screwed up??

And do you forgive Jane Fonda, Obama, NRA, and the general media?

Sometimes a decision is made the crosses the line.....and unless changes are made it is a deal ending decision.

Wayne has turned the NRA into a good ole boys network, Jane is a traitor and always will be, Obama is a commie and wants to take the country in. And ole Dennis saw a way to forward his own at the expense of everyone else.

These decisions I will not let go.

No rugers because they are so hit and miss quality wise....but a 77 just calls to me, and I am ready for many trips back to Ruger to "make it right"
No glocks because I am old and plastic is for toys and boobs.
Remington/Marlin...bean counters never make anything better.
Colt....see above
SW...never really a fan, I just liked old colt revolvers better.....they seem more elegant.

I was once told to be careful not to shoot your wounded, but to help them get back to good health.
I’ve frequently found the metaphor applicable in many life situations.

And if they put a gun to their own head....only to find out later that was not such a good idea....do you really want to hand that same person a gun again.

Well sure it was.....his business took a hit.

I know a lot of people still hold on to the hate for springfield, and I have also seen many people say they will until the CEO apologizes, he asks for forgiveness in this video after explaining what happened.

This may have been posted before, and if so, I apologize.

Personally, I'm over the "hate springfield" thing and feel like his explanation is sufficient and genuine.

Thoughts?

Thanks for posting, sounds solid to me.

So did Dick's, but their response was to double down... If you believe that someone who wronged you has seen the error of their ways, it does no good to hold the grudge indefinitely.

Love em, hate em, forgive him or not, we are done here. 5 pages is plenty and I don't see how 5 more of arguing will help anything.
