So we're all clear here ECS isn't actually acquiring these companies. They're falling under the ECS umbrella but in the grand scheme they're being purchased by Bertram Capital who is the private equity firm supplying the money that has ECS in it's portfolio. These moves all make sense from a private equity standpoint. The target is acquire and increase value in order to sell at a higher price later on. A 5-7 year investment is pretty standard for most private equity firms. They're piling capital into a company to make it's net worth and gross revenue as large as possible in order to dump it off later. Every time they acquire a new company it's net growth. ECS and it's subsidiaries will all be sold off at a later date and the cycle will start over and as a community we'll be fucked looking for quality aftermarket parts at a fair price.
Sounds about right.
Two of the major companies that make the machines we use to build PCBs at work have fallen into this. It's been a few years and so far it's been fine, but I'm not optimistic about the future...

Yea, I'll be trying to come to an agreement but not double. I guess we shall see what happens but you're right. A happy customer brings more business
What repair did you have done? What was the reason behind the increase in cost? EDIT: Nvm I read that they misquoted you.

I bought an H&K VP9 for no reason other than I wanted one.
Much excitement to go shoot it.
That is all.
Being the resident HK shill, I have to say the VP pistols are striker fired garbage. This is just an opinion. I have several DA/SA hammer fired HK pistols and think they are great. Can't stand the glock like striker fired stuff. Maybe I'm just an old man.

My target was horrendous today, which was very confusing. I would put 5 rounds into a 2" group at 10 yards, then throw the next 3 by 5"+, then put the next two back in that grouping...
I like my Glock trigger, the HK felt good but was wildly inconsistent. I may need some more time with the sights to get used to it.

Hammer fired pistols have consistency, which is what I'm about. Most HK's (hammer fired) dont need a match trigger because from the factory they're dialed. I built a Beretta 96 with a Wilson Combat trigger and that so far is hard to beat. Although my MK23 is pretty flat and amazing. If you cant shoot one of those straight, you're the problem.
The theme is all DA/SA decocker. Hammer fired semi autos rule.
