I'd sooner buy Kel-Tec or Hi-Point. The Turkish guns are just inexpensive clones.

None of them pass torture tests consistently, with very few exceptions that do not have such a huge price discrepancy. Even then, you can bet that $750 Staccato clone wont last a third of the years, despite being 25% of the price (economically it makes sense until the turkish clone starts jamming 3k rounds in)

Why does that happen?

- A fraction of a milimeter in tolerance will wear out certain pieces in geometric fashion.

- Quality Control to check certain pieces when defective. If a gun part breaks, it may still produce more stress to others in a chain reaction, despite working flawlessly once changed

- Steel and metals used in gunsmithing have to be absolutely pure. Contaminants in the steel of a barrel will wear it out faster. A slide with a fraction of a decimal percent with contaminants will crack easier.

- Despite all of the above also happening with top-tier brands, you are paying less to play a more dangerous roulette. Turks are not famous for having German-tier engineering.

Despite all that, Id buy turkish clones if there was spare cash and the model was cool. So not bashing owners.

If you find a Turkish gun that works, it'll probably work well in the future. The problem is that you might have to go through a few guns to find one that works.

And then there's the problem that you're using a gun from turkroach land.

Me? US or German. Maybe Jap also, but the Japs don't really make much.

No thanks!

Yeah, Turkey has become a major arms suppliers in the past few years. Welcome to the new world i guess, where the great powers wane and the middle powers wax.

Not Turkey; the jewish Dönmeh/Dönme/dön - "to turn; to convert, hence turncoats"... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%B6nmeh

Nigga i live in Turkey. Dönmeh is a meme, they were a small group who were gtfoe'd after WW1. They never achieved the same subversive position as in the US.
