Re: UAE buys the patents that went into the Steyr MA-1 and m
looks really juicy mehul..
I see it has inherited something from the Glock! or maybe vice versa, On the other hand our beloved O.F.B. goes and does a blatant copy of the browning 9mm without any licence and gets away with it!
Wonder which one of them would turn out to be the wiser?

Jonah,
The trigger is a Glock derivative, but the rest is an improved MA-1, which is also a very nice pistol. No idea how these are as far as the quality is concerned but I am sure that they would be really good as the UAE royals are all keen shooters and they know what goes into a good gun.
I have no idea when they would be sold in the US but pistols from Jordan are sold here already, so it could not take very long, I am sure. They also claim a highly automated manufacturing process to keep prices really low - the MA-1 is sold in stores for under $ 400 and this should cost a similar amount, I think, though I could be wrong, of course.
Let's see - yes, I do wish, like you do, that the IOFB would have had the sense to do something like this. Sadly, they don't. And therein lies a tragedy for Indians...
