Favorite Arms Manufacturer

[edger]

Also for you gun noobs:
You may want to start with a revolver as the manual of arms is simpler and easy to understand. In a dicey situation all you have to remember is to pull the damn trigger. No safeties, no racking the slide,etc

 

[Kilgore Trout]

There are a lot of gun noobs out there lately due to a certain amount of disorder. Gun classes are swamped, and training is a must!
Don’t point the thing at anything you don’t want to kill.
Practice grip control.
Practice trigger control.
Always, always be aware of collateral ”damage”.
In order to do the above, I hope you can find some ammo!!

Treat every firearm as though it's loaded, ALWAYS.
NEVER point the muzzle at anything you don't intent to shoot.
ALWAYS keep the muzzle pointed downrange.
ALWAYS know what's behind your intended target.
NEVER place you finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot.

Growing up it was Winchester and Colt - days of John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Roy Rogers and many western TV series. Had all sorts of shotguns over the years, no particular loyalty there, just what fits. But handguns --- I've got an early model S&W Chief's Special that I love, a Colt Diamondback snubbie, and this year finally succumbed with the Gen 5 Model 19s and bought a Glock . . . wow, I see why my law enforcement friends love these, but I'm still a revolver guy at heart. So those are a few I really like, but in honor of Sean Connery, picked up this 1967 pristine Walther PPK 7.65mm almost exactly a year ago and it's my favorite and it's not unfired any more.

I have several High points as throw away guns but I like my M&P 2.0

High Points put reliable firearms in the hands of the very people who need them. Not all of us have big budgets and that's why I own Charter Arms!

My favorite would be Ruger simply because it’s the only gun I own.

Colt. I love my pythons

I haven't used many different firearms, but I can say my Weatherby Vanguard is a much better shot than my Savage. It's also sexier.

 

[craig61a]

Ruger is one of them. Taken a deer or two with this Redhawk. 240 g XTP over 19.5 g H110.

 

[Mr.Pink]

I agree 100%! And the revolver that I am looking hard at right now to add to my collection is exactly a Colt made revolver! I want one (well, I want 2 different models) bad!!! LOL

Any older colt revolver is usually a tac driver. They were hand-fitted/made buy gunsmiths, not punched out of a machine.

Sadly, my handguns were lost years ago in an unfortunate boating accident. But generally speaking, firearms are simply tools. No two are the same, and you’ve got to have the right ones in the box based on your needs. You buy the best you can afford, you learn to use them properly, and you take the time to maintain them as meticulously as possible. You don’t spend a lot of time thinking about them (unless, of course, you’re the type that might be, say, a hammer or screwdriver enthusiast). Rather, you think about the job and which tool(s) in your box might be most useful in accomplishing it.

I know next to nothing about guns, in the Greek army we "trained" with HKG3 rifles, that's all.

I find revolvers very appealing to look at, much prefer their looks from the standard handguns.

But my real love in terms of weapons has to be swords, a well-made sword is a thing of beauty to my eyes.

 

[OneGoodBulldog]

Oh, gun talk!

While I'm not a handgun owner I will cast my vote for favorite firearms manufacturer as Pedersoli. They make a nice smoothbore...

Somewhere I read that when Smith and Wesson established the .357 round, one of the owners of the company went on a big game hunting safari to demonstrate the efficacy of it, using handguns. It was good publicity. I've never forgotten that, though they didn't detail what game was actually taken.
