Yeah, I’ve heard great things about that piece.

Mine is an H&K USP Compact 40cal. A little over $700.00 three years ago, but I’m guessing over a thousand nowadays. And plenty of high capacity mags.

“made by a real american company...” in Croatia!

There, fixed it.

The Springfield XD’s are made in Croatia. Some of their 1911’s are made in Brazil, and all of the 1911’s they manufacture in-house are made from slides and frames forged in Brazil.

Their M1 and M1A rifles have receivers made from imported castings, not domestic forgings.

One edition of Gun Digest a few year ago referred to Springfield Arms Inc. as a firearms importer.

Huh. Made in Croatia and purchased by a real American company.

Not that I have anything against Serbo-Croatian gun smithing skills.
