Sharing your advice with firearms manufacturers.

[Frontier]

As gun owners, I'm sure you have found yourself with ideas or suggestions you wish you could give to the manufacturers of your firearms in order to make a better, user-friendly, or more effective product. What advice would you give to the companies regarding their products?

 

[TRL]

Don't listen to the government.

 

[M67]

Stop promoting new products when you can't keep up with the current demand for your old products.

 

[the1kidd03]

Test your firearms across various conditions, ammo types, etc BEFORE releasing it for sale.

 

[jgreiner]

build more plants and capacity to produce weapons.

How about advice as to certain companies?

Colt: Move out of CT and bring back the Diamondback and the Stagecoach. You have a huge gap in your SKUs, fill it.

Ruger: I'll let you keep all the crappy polymer guns filled with MIM but bring back the Service Six.

Smith & Wesson: Remove the silly lock and de-MIMize yourself.

Sig Sauer: Give Ron Cohen a silver parachute, or make him CEO of Charter Arms so no one gets hurt.

Glock: Remember when I told you in '91 to make a single stack in .45, well the XD and M&P are out, so . . . just forget it now.

Les Baer: remove the overtravel screw out of your pistols.

Someone, anyone: Bring back the Medusa from P&R. Heck, sell me the rights and I'll work on raising capital for building here in Lafayette. Freeman Arms.

Dude, look, it's business remember. Give him the Ross Perot treatment--here's a large check, now go away.

I like the sound of this.

I'd still rather just give him a short rope for some of the crap he has done to Sig...

It would be a Statement for the rest of the leadership. Quality does matter...

 

[red_zr24x4]

I'd have to tell everyone makeing/selling AR's That theres alot of us who prefer the A2! Its really hard to find A2 uppers anymore.

 

[turnandshoot4]

Remington-Buy back your soul.

Kel-Tec-Stop promoting and start producing.

HK-Stop hating us. Produce some metal framed handguns.

CZ-Get more in the country more often. Open up some US production.

Any manufacturer in NY, CA, IL-Leave and come to IN.

 

[indykid]

To the other great ideas, how about: If you can barely afford to produce it, how are we who work for a living supposed to afford it? Keep the prices reasonable for the average American and not the "Wall Street One Percent".

Glock: Identify the problem and fix it!

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo3uxqwTxk0[/ame]

Glock: Once the problem is fixed, begin to innovate. Its no longer a Model T world in the gun industry.

Could someone PLEASE make a 1911 that is reliable out of the box that doesnt cost 3k dollars so James Yeager will finally STFU!!!!








JK. My Kimber has been very reliable with almost 1k rnds through it, and I have a Colt XSE in layaway right now That Im sure will be just fine.

For some real advice to some real makers.

Wilson Combat, Les Baer, Nighthawk, Ed Brown, Your pistols cost a small fortune. Please introduce an entry level priced piece for those of us with a budget that does not match our tastes.

 

[finnegan]

Stop making notch sights! Stop!

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Dear Ruger:

Please make a nice little carbine package in .30 Carbine, please.

 

[kludge]

If the rifle doesn't come with iron sights, and they expect you to put a scope on it, why is the comb so frikkin low? It's like no one has designed a new stock since 1953. Or do they just expect everyone to go out an spend another $200-$300 on a stock? C'mon people, my eye should be at the same level as a mounted scope while having a good cheek weld.

Maybe my face is just really small... no, I don't think that's it at all.

And in response to Indy_Guy_77 I want Kel-Tec to make a SU-30 Carbine that takes GI mags.

 

[coorslight]

Smith & Wesson, you dropped the ball when you discontinued the 3RD generation line of Semi-Auto's. Shame on you, keep your plastic.

 

[mcolford]

Glock: Scrap the Gen 4. Too many problems... If anything, make a 3.5 Gen. Keep the interchangeable backstrap, but lose the new recoil spring setup.
