So said Remington when "The Freedom Group" (Cerberus Capital) started over-extending and over leveraging themselves, and the went tits-up and the assets were pilfered at pennies on the Dollar. At their peak FG had their dirty little fingers in fifteen companies when it went bankrupt.
I like both Beretta and Ruger, maybe they can build something indestructible the doesn't have the aesthetics of a Hy-Point.
The difference here is that “ The Freedom Group” was nothing more than an investment group. Beretta has skin in the game.
My contention warns of getting too big, too fast, and too out of touch...ten years ago if you told me Remington would be out of business I'd have laughed in your face...Even Vista Outdoors which is a major Roll-Up with dozens of big names is/has cut some loose.
My SR22 had to go back, too, because it blew the extractor claw right out of the slide. The store gave me a full refund, i didn`t want it back. Besides, i never liked the backwards safety on it anyways, so it all worked out, for me. I ended up getting a Ruger MKIII instead.
