    Ok im sure its been covered but here it is again, my XD40 says its made in Croatia but it also says Springfield Armory USA, so the company is in USA and they have there pistols made in Croatia?

    So is it an American gun or Croatian?

    It's made in Croatia by HS Produkt, and imported by Springfield in the USA.

      Correct.

      Springfield Armory is the exclusive North American importer of the HS Produkt HS-2000 series of pistols.
      If you go elsewhere in the world, they are marketed/sold by HS Produkt, not Springfield Armory.

      Prior to Springfield Armory becoming the exclusive North American importer, the HS-2000 series of pistols were imported & sold by Intrac and HSAmerica.

      When Springfield Armory got involved they made some slight appearance changes, added their markings, changed the name and increased the price by $250.
      Beyond that the HS-2000 series was solely designed, developed & manufactured in Croatia by IM Metal (which reformed into HS Produkt) for the Croatian Military & Law Enforcement.

      Also, the vast majority of handguns that Springfield Armory sells are manufactured in other countries (Brazil and Croatia). Only a small percentage of their handguns are made in the USA (almost all by their Custom Shop).

          Yeah. Short version- gun was designed, built and marketed by a foreign company.

          They got with springfield for support/marketing/sales in the US.

          Still made by the origional designer/manufacturer.
