    Default Is China made in the USA? < Not a typo...

    Sorry, I just thought this was funny kinda. Then the thought hit me... Are they making these products with misrepresentation? Or did it come from there are have final assembly here?

    Apparently we can cast plastic like nobody's business, but casting aluminum is far too complex and expensive to complete in the USA.

    Perhaps- polymer grip USA - the rest china? Maybe the polymer grip was snapped together in the USA and that makes it "made in the USA"? pathetic Im sure this is defined not for consumers but for customs tarrif.

    It looks like the plastic was molded in USA and the rest was made in China. So they probably buy the bare nozzle and put the plastic cover over it in the USA.
