Everyone is laying off. Obama is out. Clinton lost. Panic buying is over. Gun sales are returning to pre-Obama numbers. That means things are getting back to normal.

 

The last 9 years was not typical of the gun market. Companies are going back to sustainable employment numbers for the future sales they are expected to do in a 2A friendly political environment with no looming threat of bans or other such silliness....

 

Is it really that hard to understand? It's simple economics and makes perfect business sense.

Ha!

I would like this but I'm out of tokens.

Colt was and has been hurting during the golden gun years of obama.

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ray, you sound like a broken record. After being given multiple examples of how Colt is still relevant, you continue to ignore those facts and spew the same stuff. Comparing Colt to S&W is apples to oranges. They focus on different types of products, and usually for the gun types they both make (like ARs), Colt does it better!

 

What you are doing is the equivalent of someone saying Gibson USA (guitar company) is irrelevant today, because they continue to still make the same products they have made for decades. Have they come out with any earth shattering game changing in recent years? Not really, but they continue to make the same few models that are adored by guitarists, with only minor incremental changes that take advantage of modern technology. Other companies make a wide variety of guitars, including Les Paul copies. However, Gibson still makes the original and best Les Paul.

For the record - S&W does not make a mil spec AR. They use incorrect materials and different manufacturing processes.

 

For what it's worth, S&W still makes a decent product and is the only non spec carbine I would purchase COTS. They are light years ahead of Bushmaster, Rock River, Windham Weaponry, etc.... in quality and reliability.

My brother has always kept his glock23 as a personal defense weapon. The one he has he bought used when he was 18 and the thing has seen a lot of action. I think glock is smart to leave well enough alone. They work, you pull the trigger and they go bang. He just recently bought a brand new g26 and he loves that to. That's it, 2 guns. Again, I don't own one, and I like my LC9 for carry and personal defense, but to each his/her own. There's a lot of naysaying about different brands back and forth, but I know guys who are very educated and experienced with guns and they carry what a lot of people here would probably call junk. It's really just about comfort and accuracy.

 

I like the XDs too.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
