What's the story behind the Made in Croatia deal on the XD45?

Thank you.

The XD is made in Croatia, and every XD before now has said "Made in Croatia" or mentioned Croatia on it.

I suppose it's like giving props to the Croats...SA not claiming all the responsibility like they do with their 1911's...and XD's now.

I know what you're thinking, but this is not some kind of "outsourcing American jobs to Croatia" kind of deal.

The pistol is a Croatian design, originally developed and still manufactured solely by a Croatian company. Springfield Armory owns the rights to brand and sell the pistol in the United States.
