Welcome to the U.S., Schmeisser

Located in Krefeld, Germany, outside of Düsseldorf, Schmeisser GmbH takes its name from the vaunted family of 19th and 20th-century gun designers and has been in business for over 20 years making a wide range of AR-15 type firearms. In recent years, they have expanded their line to include the Hugo 1911 series of handguns as well as the polymer-framed SLP-9.

Exhibited at trade shows for the past few years, I ran across the SLP a few times and found it interesting:

It’s a beefy 17+1 9mm that has “an extended 50,000 rounds guarantee on all main parts of the pistol.”

Apparently it will be imported by Texas-based War Works to the states for the first time…
