Just watched it. I wasn't impressed and thought it was backpedaling until around the 2min mark when he explained what happened and that they fired the guy in charge of the lobbying group and disbanded the organization. Seems like they did something to correct the mistake rather than just talk past it.
They don't make a lot that I like though and it bothers me that they import a lot of their line and stamp a famous American name on it, seems a little dishonest. BIL bought one of their 10rd 1911 .45 years ago (against my advice) which was a South American import. That thing was a train wreck from the start and shouldn't have been sold by them. Plus, I'm still a little peeved (yes I get peeved easily and don't always let go) that years ago they bought the HS2000 which could have been a Glock killer and just about doubled the price on it after they stamped their name on it. If they would have kept the price near where it was they could have had much more of the market share and polymer guns would not be costing as much or more than metal ones these days.
All that said, I would buy something from them if they made a product I was looking to buy today.
