From the CMMG Facebook page:
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and all law abiding gun owners in our country are currently under assault. Since the horrible tragedy in Connecticut, politicians and media alike are actively demonizing and criminalizing citizens of these great United States who are exercising their rights under the Second Amendment. Theemotional responses and decisions being made right now are extremely dangerous and short sighted . . .
As individual states elect to pass more restrictive gun laws, CMMG will adhere to each state’s regulations. However, CMMG has made a policy decision that it will not supply products to law enforcement agencies in states that have enacted legislation preventing individual citizens from owning similar firearms. CMMG will no longer provide these agencies with firearms, magazines or any other products that are restricted or no longer available to civilians. CMMG will not stand by on the sidelines and let America’s rights be stripped away. CMMG will not support states that have police departments and law enforcement agencies arming themselves with firearms and weapons that are not available to law abiding citizens. CMMG does not believe in separate classes of citizens and will not engage in sales to states that enact legislation promoting that belief.
CMMG will, however, make exceptions to police departments and law enforcement agencies that have taken a public stand refusing to recognize or enforce unconstitutional firearm restrictions. Agencies making this stand are putting their careers on the line to take a constitutional stand for all Americans as fellow citizens. Abraham Lincoln spoke on June 16, 1858, and stated that “a house divided against itself cannot stand;” CMMG supports those who support our freedom.
CMMG, as industry partners, and gun owners (including law enforcement agencies), need to stand up and stand together to counter this assault on our freedom and our constitutional rights. The Constitution is the supreme legal authority in our land, and we are bound by its words. It states in the Preamble that it was written to “form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” The Founding Fathers agreed the best way to establish this was through the Bill of Rights which includes the Second Amendment. Let us take this stand together, unified, to continue allowing this country to be the beacon of freedom to the world.
Just when exactly did this country become home to a bunch of politically correct whiners?
I love mine. It compares well with higher priced guns and is more reliable than most of the right out of the box. 16 rds of firepower is nothing to sneeze at. As to the trigger. You get used to it. Sure it could be smoother but in a combat pistol you won’t know the difference if the Goblins come.
I also find that it conceals really really well in the right holster. I use a Bulldog Leather belt slide [$26 on Amazon] and i don’t even know it is there and no one else does either.
It is a great pistol and a fine bargain all things considered. Accurate and reliable in the extreme. I had a SIGMA 40 and liked it too. Never a jam or failure to fire. Accurate as you are. What more can you ask of any pistol.
2nd to last paragraph…
PRICELESS!
Kudos to CMMG!
Absolutely. I think that’s the best angle to the general idea yet.
They sell canned “tactical bacon” and because of them joining in Im ganna buy some this weekend.
How many more will it take until the politicians see these manufacturers, and the people they represent, mean business?
well written….but i hate to say..beware of LEO’s lying about taking a stand…they just might turn their back on us suppressed civilians
FN is an awesome gun maker great choice! I got lots of friends in the military and they love FN weapons!!
So now the question begs…is FN on the good list or the bad list…for dealing with a government actively trying to take our rights away to own that very weapon…?
i hope to one day be lucky enough to make the copilot part of my family. no one in this area has one and if just for advertising the copilot i would love to show this gun off. i have been lucky enough to go the the gun shows but nothing has caught my eye as the first time i saw the copilot gun

This is all well and good, but the Big Boys need to come out on this. Lets hear the same from S &W, Colt, Ruger, Glock, Remington, Mossberg,et.al. Only then will these tyrannical state legislatures really get hit where it hurts. When NYC cops can’t get mags and parts for their SIGs, Glocks, and S&Ws, THEN we’ll see some action!
This is actually becoming a thing, but I still feel like wee need a Springfield, Colt, or Remington on board to really make a significant impact.
I can’t really fault FN, Glock, or Sig for not doing this. They are not US based companies and can’t take this stand globally and still remain viable.
Colt isn’t run by the sort of people who are concerned with this kind of thing.
We need more pressure on O’Malley, the Socialist Republic of MD Senate, and House. if you have not written your delegate, do so immediately. There are some vulnerable delegates who can be swayed. O’Malley is running for prez in 2016 so he needs to understand that voters are going to hand him a pink slip.
I hope they leave and I’ll even buy a Beretta when they move to a gun loving state. Now I just need Kimber to leave their no good COMMIE state, and I won’t buy another Kimber until they do (I already own to many of them anyway).
I’m sure in their 487 year history this isn’t the first time Beretta has had to pick up and move from where they weren’t wanted to where they were.
I’ve got a AR by CMMG and their 22 conversion kit. Great company and great people. I’m proud to say I’m a customer.
I just organized my ammo to my 6.8 SPC CMMG M4 LEP II upper. It isn’tthe most accurate thing in the world, but the dependability is definitely there. I like the way CMMG also supports LEO agencies that take a stand for the 2A.
