Yes, money leaves us. That is another issue I have with foreign cars but that is another fight for another day.

THANK YOU^ This is the bottom line here, most of I bet have different countries in our safe, I just prefer US. Most of us do but if its a gun we like we buy it that simple.

Something else to consider when thinking about "American made", is just where did the bar stock and other metals that are used in the frames, slides, barrels and all the small parts come from?

Pennsylvania steel mills? I think not, at least not all of it. Try China. Just sayin'....

Reliability and durability for ccw, that's my primary concern and decision making factor hence Austria on my hip. But I did own fully American made Keltec at one point, not anymore.

From a collector's point of view... diversity!
