While I don't discount the sentiment of that article, I have found that anything posted on CH's site needs to be taking with a grain of salt and eyed suspiciously.

My contacts over there say there is a lively blackmarket trade in the guns among the wealthier citizens, including guns never meant for the military, and that locals consider it a good gun but also are forever trying to play with the trigger, as well, and turn it into an unsafer gun....it is well liked but at blackmarket prices, is very expensive, and they have other handguns we never see, such as from China and Russia, that are seen as a much better value.....ie, they are having to give close to the equiv of $900 for a Sigma, and a perfectly good something else might cost them only $200-$300 equiv.

I would say both sides, ours and theirs, has some serious issues that are coming to a head. I went over there for a year to several of the countries as a supply guy. Losts of waste. Lots.

I still work for DOD, now stateside and hopefully forever, and like with all giant biz, the waste is incredible no matter where you go....once the largest segment of the workforce is office folk pencil-whipping compliance and worried more about keeping their own job and advancing through the ranks using the latest buzzwords which THEIR bosses are using, reality takes a back seat in another entirely different vehicle. And not just the goverment....ANY large business.
