    Other questions:
    -Would you trust a geissele SSA or SD-C in a duty gun or is a milspec trigger a better way to go?
    Absolutely would trust either of those G triggers.

    Mercs, Criterion Barrels only uses steel sourced from American mills. We also quarantine each batch of steel we receive and have it tested by an independent lab for purity prior to using it in production. Only after it is proven to meet our stringent purity requirement does it get released for production. Not sure what birdies you are speaking to but you should sight your sources... We are 100% American made and manufactured in Germantown Wisconsin.

    What you said was slanderous. You should APOLOGISE immediately.

    The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

    Uh, no.

    You don’t come on this forum and spread bullshit like that without backing up your claim.

    Either provide evidence, or retract your statement.

    Shit like this devalues and undermines the ethos of this forum.

    Try again.

    Thanks, that’s awesome of you to clarify. At least we have one decent American company publicly vowing to never use foreign steel

    Slanderous? Maybe you should go back and read very slowly what I wrote. I guess free speech really is dead, not just on liberal platforms huh?

    I really don’t need to back up anything, and I’m not a news reporter breaking some sort of headline for you. I’m just merely relating information and saying to be careful, and do your own research. Now I’ll be kicked out of the forum and my posts deleted, while a bunch of adults get worked up into a frenzy like a bunch of children over a “helpful” posts that I made in earnest... Really disappointing but hey, that’s where we are as a country now

    Mercs, no need to apologize, I am not that sensitive. I appreciate and respect free speech but was simply clarifying an insinuation you made about Criterion sourcing materials from anywhere other than American sources which is simply inaccurate. We only use American steel from American mills and our barrels are made in America by American craftsmen who have spent their entire lives refining the art of barrel making. You are on the right track to question where materials are sourced from. Some manufacturers might compromise their reputations by using materials from questionable sources. We do not. Our quality is our reputation and we would rather not produce any barrels than send something out with our name on it that isn't to our standards. We take a great deal of pride in our craft as it is our life's work. If you have any questions about our products or our materials feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email at contact@criterionbarrels.com.

    Saying something unsubstantiated is like me saying, “A little birdie told me you can get Corona virus by simply saying hello to an infected person. So be careful out there and wear your masks.”

    Without sources it’s a pointless post.
