Need help! Which do I choose?

[u/rastamasta45]

The Makasi is 100$ cheaper and metal, iwi Carmel is polymer and from a reputable manufacturer? Decisions decisions 🤔

[u/No_Win_9797]

Reputable ? Sure, but it’s still Israeli made so that’s a no from me
Makasi all the way

You should probably just give up on any firearm effectively that isn’t from a neutral country or one that hasn’t been to war.

isn’t from a neutral country or one that hasn’t been to war

I have to imagine you know that the reason people oppose Israel is not simply because they've been to war.

[u/IndiscreetTreat → u/Goliad1990]

Fully aware, but it’s not going to stop me from buying any of their firearms. Turkey hates its own citizens owning firearms yet people buy their guns all the time. The virtue signaling is absolutely useless in my mind.

Brother understand something, if someone says they dont smoke cigs because its bad for their health doesnt mean theyre “virtue signaling” when they drink soda or have a glass of wine from time to time…Its just someone doing their best. Now if they said that they live a perfectly healthy lifestyle then that would be a lie but no one is saying that… Get off the internet a little

virtue signaling

You guys just go to that word for everything. Some people are taking a stance against a specific thing. Everyone gets to choose what they are "fighting" for and not spending your money is one way.

[u/IndiscreetTreat → u/dgod40]

“You guys”. Funny the hypocrisy.

Buy the rifle or not, I truly don’t care at all man.

[u/DryConfidence77 → u/IndiscreetTreat]

Why are you being so black and white? Any good action is better than nothing…

[u/No_Win_9797 → u/IndiscreetTreat]

Nah, I just don’t support Israel in any way shape or form
To each is own thou

[u/Low_Bar_804 → u/No_Win_9797]

But Uzi and Desert eagle

[u/No_Win_9797 → u/Low_Bar_804]

Dessert eagles are made by Magnum Research (usa) I thought, are they not?

[u/No_Win_9797 → u/[deleted]]

Cheers, thanks

[u/Low_Bar_804 → u/No_Win_9797]

I’m pretty sure Magnum research came up with the idea but worked Isreali weapon industries to actually make it work. IWI did the heavy lifting in design and manufacturing early on.
