Like I’ve always preached, when you can, buy American. Not only does the profit stay local but so does the paychecks of their employees. Typical imported companies have a warehouse, maybe a few office employees and warehouse workers. All the labor money goes overseas.
I understand that it really is impossible to buy all things American but firearms and tactical gear there really is no excuse. Now there are some exceptions such as HK, Glock, etc. but I don’t consider those companies as cheap imports since they are being made in their countries to high standards.
