I dont own any SA pistols other than 1911’s and the SA-35(which has had its issues).my personal opinion on many firearms made in other countries, then imported here is that they usually offer more bang for the buck, to get interest built up in thier brand.
think of the first years of Honda, Toyota, and thier econobox cars, with an AM/FM radio, where American cars, back in the same time period, you had to pay extra for just an AM radio.
if thier products were crap, military and security/police would be in a world of hurt for weapons.
products are made better these days, than in the past.
i can understand the breakdowns and malfunctions of anything built in thier infancy. but when there are decades of produced products, and not as many problems as American products, i can chance buying firearms from foreign lands. as it is, my Hellcat, is made in Croatia.......not America.
what do we know about Croatian made firearms...??
frankly, not too much, but S/A is buying them, shipping them here, and we are buying them.
and are all of these 100% perfect..???
