I'd buy a Texas-made Radom AK in a heartbeat. As a general thing, I admire Poland for a number of reasons. They were the birthplace of democratic roots in Europe (
PRE-Magna Carta). Their military—most especially their air force—were absolutely heroic in the defense of Poland during the nazi invasion. Despite the loss, surviving polish fighter pilots escaped, and then later flew combat missions in British and American supplied aircraft over Europe, including D-Day. One of the airborne divisions that parachuted into Normandy on D-Day was a polish paratroop division made up of ex-pats who had escaped the nazis. Polish rejection of its soviet block membership helped lead the way to the collapse of the USSR. Despite all the jokes, Poles are a splendid people.
FWIW, Radom has a long history as an arms maker, with a well-deserved reputation for quality. During the runup to the WW2 period, they were the producers of the Radom P.35, a sort of blend of the 1911 and Browning Hipower pistols, chambered in 9mm. When the germans overran Poland in 1939, they captured the Radom factory took it over, where they then produced these pistols for issue to german troops.

These were VERY well made pistols, and they will fire pretty much any modern commercial 9mm Parabellum ammunition.
