Springfield Armory XD line...

[StukaJr]

Springfield frames are produced in Imbel (Brazil?). Glocks are assembled in Smyrna, Georgia...does that count?

If not, the only reasonably priced alternative is going to be S&W.

I think as long as the frame stamped with Geneseo, IL USA that's all that matters. Otherwise, I'd recomend CZ75B in hopes that they would miss giant "Made in Chech Republic" on its frame With that said, however, I still read in regards to the XD's as "imported" by Springfield - plus, it does have "Springfield Armory Croatia" in its crest on the top of the slide. Is XD considered US Made now?

But if a Full Frame, American Made are the main two requirements - I guess I'd give a "x2" on a 1911 in 9mm is a true bet, Colt or Springfield Armory... Probably would command more respect with your new employers then any Tuppawear Plus, you probably have more experience handling a 1911.

Much respect and good luck with the gig!

He can always get a used HS2000 (for half the price of an XD) and glue a Springfield sticker on it.

How come no one has mentioned Ruger...inexpensive and reliable.

No Sig or HK, lets face it...your better off having a whistle and a flashlight.

Sure sucks that you cant read.

[FallenAngel]

others have made the point.

several guns are literally "made in America" even if they were designed by a foriegn company. (Certain Sigs, Glocks, Walthers, Berettas...)

Guns like the XD and HPs are actually produced overseas.

Some more specific idea of what "made in America" means to your employer might be helpful.

Ruger makes good guns. I like their P90. You can get the P89 in 9mm, that's the base model, sorta.

If it must be big framed, fully made and designed in America, price is a factor, and and you don't need to shot more than 10000 rounds from it consider this http://www.mkssupply.com/ So called Poor man's Glock... Little pun iontended
