Quote History Quoted:
I am pretty sure they lost their contract to Imbel and all of their 1911s are now made in the USA and the Croatian guns have always been made their since they bought the patent from a Croatian company. Also Imbel is considered to be one of the best at making forgings. This is a false statement that is based on a rumor that the NRA has since shot down.

Well that's possible, but according to the nice lady (deb I believe) that runs their custom shop when I talked to her about ordering a custom 1911 they come from Brazil. This was probably close to 2yrs ago though things could have changed but I doubt it. The big 1911forums all have the popular opinion is they're still imported. NRA may have shot it down but the company who imports them put it right back up.

not really sure what you mean by this part, are you trying to say the XDs aren't made in Choatia? because that's not true at all. I can't figure out what you're saying is false and the NRA shot down either since it's a commonly known fact that the guns are imported. They're stamped right on the frames per the law that they're made in Croatia. So either you're confused, have bad info or the NRA simply is lying to somebody
If you're trying to say that the XD are and have always been made here feel free to read the frame of the gun
