But, is the company still owned by foreigners ?

Well, sombody has to keep the herd thinned out so they
don't starve cause of a lack of enough food to keep 'em all fed...

I'm not really sure myself what my judgement actually is concerning all this.

I guess it would be guns made here, by a company
that is owned by Americans and the labor is American.

Heck, I'm not really sure...

Anybody have thoughts on exactly
what make a firarm company "American"

I was watching a thing on History Channel about the rifles our military has been using over
the years, and they are currently testing one now that can shoot in full automatic mode
and it remains cool to the touch! (it's fixing to become the new military issue)

That'd be some serious deer hunting rifle
You could wipe out the entire heard in no time and not even over heat yer barrel

OK, so far we got....

Colt
Smith & Wesson
STI
Ruger
Kahr

Any others?

Seems like there would be more
full blooded American firearms

TABC as in the alcohol police?

I didn't know they carried, but I guess they'd have
to since they deal with a bunch of drunks all the time

Are they still our allies?

Colt
Smith & Wesson
STI

It'd be kinda cool to have a list of pure American
firearms unless it's been done before...

So, Colt and Smith & Wesson are pure American firearms?

Does Smith & Wesson keep their profits here in the good 'ol USA?

Maybe I should have asked the question that way...what companies
are American owned and American built

That should narrow the field somewhat...

Well, that's good newz! Thanks, I'll have to check them out.

Made in Texas is even better yet

Thanks for the replies. I guess I do need to go at least handle some of these brand/models
and see if they feel right and if they do I could always see if there is a shooting range around
that might have what I'm interested in so I could go shoot a few rounds before buying.

I didn't realize that some of the brands made in other countries were actually being
produced by an American company that just has their factory over there.

I do kinda like the idea of buying something made with good 'ol America labor
so maybe S&W might be the way to go.

OK, so I'm still needing to get a good pistol and I'm not that familiar with all the brands out there.

I was always more of a deer hunter and only got to shoot other people's pistols
occasionally when they were having taget practice down at the deer lease.

So, what makes are from the good 'ol USA?
And, which one of those are considered to be superior quality

I'm flexible in that I like revolvers (less likely to jam?)
but I also like the idea of semi-automatics as well.
