Hey I try to balance cost and quality when I buy. It's almost impossible to buy only American. Well I guess if you don't have a TV or a computer or a cell phone or a radio you might get buy. Each of has issues with one or another manufacturer. Mine is with Ruger. Others are with Glock. And obviously some with SA. I've looked at and shot most of the options for production class. S&W, Glock, H&K, Sig, etc. The XD line fits my needs at a price I'm willing to pay.
Most of my handguns are US made, by an almost 8/1 ratio. That's my rationalization, and I'm sticking with it.
