I agree with you , they are big producer and exporter.
But I 've question.
Of course not for you
Why does Sarsilmaz sell their pistols much expensive for Turkish Market?
They don't need financial support from Turkish customers.
Sarsilmaz pistols cost retails 200$ in USA.
Their wholesale FOB price nearly 100$ for USA importer!!!!(with their interests)
Sarsilmaz pistols EXW cost (before the tax) for the MKEK nearly 300$!!
-3 time expensive!!-
And Turkish Goverment dont take special tax from local guns.
HSProdukt importer sells pistol to MKEK 200$!!Although HSProdukt and Glock and other importers havnt bis sales in Turkish Market so they dont have good price from factory.
Due to domestic producer protect, Also Turkish govermnet gives limited number of import licenses.
Inspide of all this, our big producer Sarsilmaz sells expensive pistol to Turkish customers (3 time more expensive). Is it patriotizm?
I'm not autherity but i know Sarsilmaz guns are cheap guns. Their quality doesnt cost this price.
Sarsilmas pistol couldnt pass test of Turkish Police Pistol. Turkish gun fans dont like them.
Sarsilmaz pistols bad copy of CZ mechanism.
And not Sarsilmaz, only KALE KALIP produce MPT 76 for Turkish Army!
According the your information, I dont trust Colt M4A1 anymore.
Untill i read your information, I had wanted to buy semiauto Colt rifle .223.
But now i would prefer Chinesecopy of M4 Norinco nearly 1200$
