+1 to Wilson Combat

All of this is great but do any of these companies currently provide equipment to the .Gov in these areas now? Until a major supplier steps up and tells them to FO then it's just a warm fuzzy symbolic policy.

Exactly. Until Colt, Glock, S&W, and/or Sig step up, .gov will just laugh these off.

I think the more small to medium sized operations that do this only further forces the big boys to see what side of the line they're on, once it's been drawn. It may be symbolic, but I stand by their decisions. If anything, it keeps people talking about this.

This.

I agree, but I think the spirit of the exclusion means officers purchasing firearms for themselves that mere mortals can't buy, a-la personal Glocks here in MA.

Colt & Rem just lost that Bid to FNH for the AR's.... wonder where they think they'll get their revenue now????

 

[midas]

Crossed 2 Sigs off future purchase list, added a Wilson Combat.

Way to go Wilson.

As I said in other threads, this is what will move the needle in the direction we need. Yes, we still need a major to step up, but that is on us. The civilian shooter makes their market here in the US. Without our purchases, the majors would be sucking wind financially. Hammer Glock, S&W, Ruger, Beretta, Springfield, etc. to get with the program. If we get the manufacturers on our side, we'll have LEO on our side, and that is a strong lobby...

Also, send copies of receipts for Wilson Combat guns to S&W and Glock with a note saying that you had a choice, and decided to shun S&W and Glock in favor of Wilson, over this issue.

Was just thinking I need to buy more Wilson mags for my Kimber

Journey of a thousand miles and the first step and all that.

Wilson makes good guns and is well respected in the industry, but it is not a major player. When and if the majors do it, then it means something. I'm not holding my breath that will ever happen.

I love that idea!!

I'll be buy stuff just to send these letters out... Bravo Wilson

 

[Jacks07]

Nice to see. The more the merrier!

 

[Serapis]

Easy for them to say this... Glad they did, though.

 

[Bolio]

Good stuff right here.

Yeah, that's great but what about helping citizens stuck in these states? PLEASE GET SOME GUNS APPROVED IN MA AND WE WILL BUY THEM!!! This is a way to make gun owners stronger.

 

[ISOTOX]

Direct and to the point! No question as to what there policy is. And best of all no double speak!

 

[HuntMaine]

Great to see! Now if the others would have the same guts!

 

[JRyan]

Good deal.
I understand they are not the volume dealer that S&W, Glock etc. are, but I commend them for this stance just the same, and when I spend money, they are on the list of places to buy from.

This. More than just words, these companies need proof of lost revenue. Anything less is just pissing in the wind...

 

[SteelShooter]

Why do we continue to support the 'major' gun companies? How many of you are still out there buying their stuff yet complaining they should step up and pull out of these states? Just a question.

I find it really sad when scores of little guys step up to the plate and all that can be said is "Your not big enough to make a difference" instead welcoming the effort and sacrifices being made. It was pointed out in another thread how huge the civilian firearm market actually is and these BIG companies you refer to need to be reminded of that. Daily.

Riddle me this Bucko? When was the last time was I able to purchase a new Wilson firearm in Ma? They quit selling here years ago. I'm a pragmatist and you're an idealist 'nuff said.

I knew it was always just about you. Thanks for clearing that up. My point still stands. Little guys can and do make a difference. Even in the face of ignorance.
