    Sprinfield Armory's New Pistol

    Exposed hammer pistol. Something different with all the striker fired ones being produced.

    I like it. And, the price isn't too bad, either.

    Seems like two steps backward. Maybe there are people that prefer a hammer DA/SA set up but why?

    Springfield Armory can go lick cow anus after their whole back-stabbing incident with the people of Illinois.

    Care to elaborate for those of us not living in IL?

    I'm not from Illinois, but this crap still grinds my gears. Springfield and Rock River agreed to drop their opposition to a bill that will screw individuals and dealers in exchange for receiving a carve-out that would exclude them from the ramifications of the bill if it becomes law.

    Looks to me like the people of Illinois have a bigger problem with their state legislature than two gun manufacturers. The purpose of a business is to stay in business.

    The purpose of business is to make money, and you don't make money by alienating your customers or throwing them under the bus.

    Just so I understand. The state of Illinois is trying to pass a crappy law that will adversely effect gun owners as well as dealers and instead of continuing to fight this crappy legislation these two companies have worked out a deal that protects their businesses, their employees and their shareholders. The alternative would be to continue to fight it and most likely still lose with no protection for their company, employees or shareholders.

    Still sounds to me like the state of Illinois is the bad guy here.

    I agree that Illinois liberals in the state legislature are the bad guys here. Springfield and Rock River aren't the bad guys, but they're like the colonists in the 18th century who sided with the Brits during the American Revolution and hung out under the desks of the Brit generals before being ordered to burn down their neighbors' homes with permission to spare their own.

    A little bit of a hyperbole, but you get the picture.

    They should just move over 1 state to Indiana and tell IL to go fuck themselves.

    Oh, look at that! They're copying FNs, instead of glocks, for a change...

    A single stack 9mm with a hammer and only 600......I would be more interested in a .327
    wheel gun.

    If SA or RR cared for anything other than their business ( and I am not being critical of running a business )
    they would move out of Illinois. To them they make window sills, no different.
