SA & RRA are getting eaten alive because their lobbyist signed on to some anti legislation once IL manufacturers were given a "carve out," meanwhile the legislation (if passed in house & signed by gov) would add extra difficulties for FFLs in the state while big box stores that hold FFLs are unaffected.

There are other threads on other forums about the same (AR15, etc).

The XD-E - When you are all out of innovation!

Ive read a couple posts on Facebook about this gun and everyone is hating on SA for it. Saying they won't buy SA guns again. I don't get it. They are just trying to compete with the conceal carry market. Looks like a cool gun, don't understand the haters.

The hate has nothing to do with the gun.

Last Thursday, the Illinois State Senate passed bill SB-1657 (Gun Dealer Licensing) by a one-vote margin. While its prospects are still unsure in the House, if signed by Governor Bruce Rauner, the new law will mandate state licensing for all Illinois gun dealers. It will also restrict all others in Illinois to nine firearm transfers per year.

The lobbyist for the Illinois Firearms Manufacturers Association (IFMA), Jay Keller, traded that group’s opposition to the bill in exchange for a carve-out, removing Prairie State firearms manufacturers from the licensing requirements.

Two companies provide the bulk of the funding for IFMA: Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms.

Basically, Springfield and Rock River pulled a California LEO on us...exclude us from your "**** You Gun Owners" bill and we will support it.

Safe to say I'm glad I didn't jump in the SA deal this past month

I almost bought an xd9 today until I came across onto calguns... Now I think would like to sell the SA guns I already have

This was my first gut reaction too, but don't sell your Springfield Armory guns. The potential buyers, in their enthusiasm for their new toys, are much more likely to spend money on SA accessories than you! So by selling, you are actually encouraging more money to go to SA. Keeping your SA guns is not going to help SA in any way.

Selling something you like, just because the company made a decision after you purchased, seems as useful as the crap the anti gun people come up with. While the XDe does nothing for me, I'm not upset about the company offering more options for those who might and I am certainly not going to get rid of the two I have.....but a good deal on xd pistols from others is always good.

As far as the company goes with that political move, what a bunch of traitors. Isn't that similar to what Ruger did in the past to hurt gun owners?

That was years ago and there are still people that have not forgiven Ruger. Gun owners have long memories.

Btw, it looks like RRA and Springfield are trying to backtrack: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...te-deal-carve/
Personally, I think they both realized what a mess they created and are trying their best to get out of it

[Discogodfather]

My advise is for this Croatian company to pull it's Springfield relationship and find someone else to directly import and market their products. Springfield is dead as a name and will be trash talked forever on this issue. They are a slimy company that has ruined the name of one of the most important gun manufactures in world history. It's not just this debacle but many other issues that have compounded the problem over the years.

We can live without them and should.

Lol. I thought that was real.
