With gun sales slumping it beggars belief that doing anything to provoke gun owners would be remotely a good thing to consider. You have to think they are sitting around hoping a factory in Croatia can build them a time machine.

Looks like CEO Dennis Reese made a bad calculation and mis-read gun owners. Idiot learned nothing from places like Target. Don't piss off your base. Now he will be responsible for the destroying the company.

Hit the Springfield FB page. I put a lot of time and money into my SA 1911, but it's headed for the back of the bottom shelf in my gun safe now. Just yesterday my son was asking what to buy for a ccw and I told him an XD was a good choice. Now I'm thinking I'd rather just give him my Colt Mustang +2 stainless than let him send money to those twats.

They deserve the one star reviews for neutering their custom shop alone.

It does seem short sited on the part of these companies.

I mean Trump just went to the NRA dinner.

First time in what 30 years and these two companies throught kissing up to a state gov banning rights was a good idea.

Welp it was either a TRP or DW Valor for my next 1911 before moving on to the heavy hitters.

Looks like i'll be getting a DW. Fuck em'.

The gun industry has many mercenaries that profit from private owners but will shank them at any moment.

__________, because you suck, and we hate you.

-HK, because we won't sell to you.

-Colt, because we will redesign our rifles to make pivot and fire control pins intentionally incompatible with the market.

-Ruger, because Bill. The company seems to have redeemed itself.

-S&W because Clinton lock. Redemption as above after a heavy corporate cost.

-The company that shall not be impugned but is named after an Ancient Greek city, because Dale Monroe and Jody Weis. There's a deep and troubling rabbit hole on that one.

-H-S Precision because Lon Horiuchi.

-Springfield Armory and RRA for circling the wagons behind the scenes while publicly giving weak token supporting statements about private gun owners.

Gee, moving to Iowa or Missouri would have been fairly painless. Even making the threat to move and not following through would have been a better plan that what they did. Both companies are going to found out just how many people take their 2A right seriously.

I like my XDs but not enough to continue to buy from a company that is willing to collude with the gun grabbers in an attempt to benefit their bottom line.

You know what's funny? All these people angry about SA being in cahoots with anti-2a politicians for political favors.... rushing out to a well known anti-2a website (facebook) to show just how angry they are about a company supporting anti-2a policies.

Give me a break people.

Yet I'm considered an asshole tard because I think S&W should have been run to the ground for their shenanigans.... Maybe if an example had been made, lessons would have been learned and remembered. But no. These cocksucking dealmakers will apologize, cry the crocodile tears, and in 6 months, a year from now maybe, their fucking apologists will tell us how it's stupid to continue to make them pay for their mistake, how they're "one of us", blah blah blah.....

Even before they did this, they said to themselves, "it worked out pretty good for S&W in the long run, it'll work for us too"

View Quote

British company Tomkins PLC were the owners that made that retarded decision. After purchasing S&W for $112 million they were forced to unload it for $15 million. I would say selling your company for 13% of your purchase price counts as being run into the ground. S&W as a company has paid their price and is the perfect example of what happens when you piss off your customer base. Only after they were sold were they forgiven.

Good,

I didn't even think about looking for a SA facebook page... welp off to add to the disapproval. HAH! looks like they pulled the page, cowards.

ETA: It's just that link, their main page is still up, but I'm seeing a lot of hate being thrown on it.

Yes. A suboptimal plan that may result in significant negative upside profit effects.

s&w - clinton deal

View Quote

The British Tomkins PLC owned Smith and Wesson company that sold us out no longer exists, its trademarks and assets, but not the company itself, were sold to an American company known as Smith and Wesson Holding Company whose first act was to abrogate the agreement that the old Tompkins PLC owned company entered into with the Clinton Administration and the other gun grabbers.

I'll forgive Rock River and Springfield Armory as well, after their assets and trademarks are sold to new owners.

Until then they can both drink from the toilet.

Too bad, my wife wanted one of the new Springfield XDe s for Mothers Day.

The original British Tompkins PLC owned S&W Corporation was actually run out of business and only its name and assets were sold and a new American owned company was created using the trademarks.

They paid the price.
