Springfield Armory to Release New Hotness at NRAAM

[223 Gunner]

I just read about the betrayal as well. If I were Springfield Armory or Rock River, I would move to a more gun friendly state........Like Magpul and Daniel Defense did.
Also as a consumer, to me it is like all the auto makers that took the Govt. "bail-out", all of them except for Ford. GM realized their mistake and paid it back quickly, but it was too late for them as well. I will not buy any American vehicle from now on unless it is a Ford.
It irritates me to no end, when a company jumps in bed with a Govt. that routinely screws it's voter base. I did learn from INGO to "vote with my wallet", and let's hope that it is effective to businesses and manufactures. That they will take notice if enough people quit supporting them.

I tried a Ford after that and did not like it. Went back to a GMC.

I was not, nor will I ever likely be, in the market for anything made by Springfield Armory or Rock River. If I were, however, they would be off my list.

Was a fan of SA till I read how they and rock sold put not surprise just disappointed why stay there in Illinois? Put that's what they want to do it's there business. But to screw others for there gain is low, so no more Springfield for me.

There are so many used SA/Rock offerings floating around out there. To buy one of them in no way benefits the company that made them. They have long since moved on with the profit made.
I will continue to use the SA offerings as platforms for my builds as they are solid. Buying them used is to my advantage.

Not going to buy new anymore for obvious reasons but I will not set myself back if there is an alternative avenue.

Likewise, the new EMP 4 9mm Carry Contour is off my list now. Too bad, as I've been a Springer fan for many moons, they make a good product. I wish they would have joined forces with RR to fight this legislation instead... maybe threatened to move across the river into Iowa, or better yet, here to Indiana.

I still hold the IL voters in contempt for creating this kind of political atmosphere to begin with, but dangit, Springer didn't have to play into it. Really bad timing ahead of the NRA convention too. What a different tune we'd all be whistling if both companies had stood firm for the 2A.

I do agree with CM, buying used does not support them. It really is too bad as they do make great firearms, and a lot of our favorites at that.

One of the reasons I went with Form in 2014 when I purchased a new car. Been a complete POS and a lemon and Ford won't do anything about it. Should have went with a Honda

Back to the gun companies though. It's not the first time a gun company screwed over the American people.

Been looking at a CZ Rami BD for a new carry gun then the XDE comes along and looks semi promising.....then this happens.....guess I'll start getting ready for a CZ

There are a lot of people in Illinois that do not vote that way, but they have to contend with Chicago. They deserve our pity and more so our support.

My wife's uncle, who has the family farm in Genoa, is pretty straight-up that Chicago screws it up for the rest of the state, and wishes Cook County was its own city-state. The rural areas are hard pressed to ever be able to outvote densely populated Chicago. I have work friends in MI who feel very much the same way about Detroit, that it should have a wall built around it.

 

[churchmouse]

Yawn. 25 oz weight. Bit taller with 9+1. I might as well buy the bobtailed 4" EMP. But it's always good to see different products and I am sure that this will be the right gun for someone.

Meh. So what.

 

[longbow]

Any word if the are sorry?

 

[VERT]

Any word if the are sorry?

I am sure that will all depend on second quarter sales.

 

[churchmouse]

I am sure that will all depend on second quarter sales.

I am hoping that enough of us will be turning our backs on them to really make a dent in the bottom line.

 

[TacticalFun]

Every business is in it for themselves. Not suprised

 

[IndianaSoloMcfly]

At $450 its everything i wanted my CCP to be. If i see one in the wild and its fit and finish are what i expect, it will come home with me.

Never mind. Dont need it so bad that id buy it at the cost of $450 and my integrity.

The face book page is blowing up.

The face book page is blowing up.

Yeah, some live thing popped up in my feed. It is like shark feeding frenzy.

It should be. These people think they are above all of this. Hold them accountable.

I have put so many folks in SA's that people were sure I was on commission with them. Hell I never even got a Ham at Christmas. I did it because I believed in the product.
Those days are done.

 

[Fordtough25]

Sad days for a company that so many of us love and enjoy products from, sad indeed. I quit using RRA parts years ago because they don't blend with mil spec pieces but blah for them too.

 

[Hopper]

I still believe they make a great product, they just made a really bad judgement on this one. I can't imagine they aren't fully aware of the backlash and bad press they're getting right now. Let's see what they do to right their ship. I'm as disappointed as anyone else in this thread, but I don't want them to go under... I want to see them learn from this, and fully recommit themselves to their fans and the 2A.
