I think Bushmaster does some .gov contracts, and we all know that HK and Glock does too. It’s actually a little difficult to get an HK because aside from the waiting because of the importing bullshit, you have to get in line behind the government. At least that’s how it was 15 years or so ago when I got my USP .45 Tactical(my favorite handgun). I think the biggest .gov manufacturers are Glock, HK, Colt, Sig, FN, Bushmaster, and maybe Beretta still.
Though Beretta makes some OUTSTANDING handguns, I believe they have fallen out of favor over the years. I’ve had a 92FS(M9)for YEARS and the thing has NEVER malfunctioned on me, using all sorts of cheap ammo and magazines. It also feels GREAT in the hand. Well balanced, easy to aim, and shoot - out of the box. Only drawback is the 9mm round. It won’t knock a drug/adrenaline crazed or large person on their ass. That’s why I like a .45 - no matter what kind of person you’re dealing with, if their hit, by force they WILL change direction. (that’s what I want)
The reality is Conservative will never organize to punish the OEM’s for supporting Liberal Governments in MD, CA, NY, MA, etc...
The power is in the consumers hands and in this segment of the market it is the Conservative that buys firearms and ammunition... but we are too nice and thoughtful to really make SIG, Remington and others to yeild to our demands.
We would rather sit back, watch and complain on the internet!
