Very nice.  I might have to try one of those on...

It looks like Springfield Armory and RRA are going to have some explaining to do. This might have a little bit of an influence on the sales of the new XDe

No explanation needed, I'll never buy their product again. Same position I took and stuck with when Bill Ruger made his ridiculous statement on magazine capacity.

[unforgiven]

That is fuked up.

Looks like my 1 SA M1A is gonna stay my only one. Don't see Armalite mentioned, they are in Genseo Ill also. Parent company might be moving them.

Welcome to the list S.A. and RRA

[jtallen83]

Rather than cave to the commies in Illinois they should join Les Baer and hop the river to Iowa.

That's to bad...I was interested in the XDe...not anymore

I don't get the advantage of a hammer fired Xd.

Fify ;)

[Robocop1051]

Some people drive Fords and some people drive Chevys. I can give you pros and cons and both. There sure as hell ain't "one" pistol... not yet at least.

Camence the back peddle 

 

 

[Robocop1051]

It's pretty well written.... waiting to see who gets fired over this one. 

[Armed Eye Doc]

And what about RRA? Any back peddling there?  Or are they sticking to their self-serving position on the bill?

I will be forced to give up my dream of a RR 1911 whenever they start making them if they don't realize the error of their ways.

Idk I don't follow them on social media. I know both companies caught shit at the NRA event this weekend and I'm seeing lots of hate on Instagram (it's the only social media I use) mac from military arms posted up last night agains SA

Here is RRA response.  They basically put the blame on the trade organization.  It looks very similar to Springfield's.

And here is Rock River's reply that sounds almost exactly the same.

I'm sure their PR is working double time together to clean up the shit storm that hit them both this weekend

[98Z5V]

I'm glad to see them both sticking together on this - almost like identical twins.  They better hope that bill gets defeated, or they'll both be forever blamed.  Together.
