Ownership

OneShotOnly! · May 30, 2007, 05:35 AM

What is the best gun make you OWN or would like to OWN!

I voted GLOCK, although it was a tough call between Glock and HK. I chose GLOCK because I have used it more and had never ever given me any problem, plus the aim is remarkable.

Jkwas · May 30, 2007, 06:24 AM

All my guns are good, so I just voted most carried. TAURUS!

OneShotOnly! · May 30, 2007, 06:33 AM

I have Taurus 24/7 Pro, but voted GLOCK. I have had trouble with my three Taurus' I changed, maybe they aint built for me. My brother has it as well, and he has no complaints. But was he on this forum, I am sure he would have voted for his HK VP70z

Ala Dan · May 30, 2007, 06:55 AM

SIG

OneShotOnly! · May 30, 2007, 07:01 AM

Ala Dan,....if it wasnt for the style....I agree with you. In battlefield no other pistol has out performed SIG!

But in personal defense it lack style.

OneShotOnly! · May 30, 2007, 09:39 AM

I am surprised that all HK and Glock lovers did not vote yet.

How about all you .45 Colt guys...and Taurus ones?

hoytinak · May 30, 2007, 10:06 AM

Well, seeing as I have 3 USP Compacts, 1 P2000, 1 P2000SK and 1 P7M8...I had to give HK at least one vote.

allenomics · May 30, 2007, 10:14 AM

Any Glock followed by Ruger's .22 pistols.

hj28rules · May 30, 2007, 10:30 AM

Collective arsenal at our house:
Para-Tac 4, .45ACP
Taurus Model 66 .357
Ruger P95DC 9mm
Ruger MKIII .22 Target bbl
CZ75B 9mm
CZ83 .380
H&R .32
Taurus PT111 MilPro 9mm
S&W Model 10 Victory .38sp

My CZ's are by babies. Fine, fine, pistols. Accurate, robust, reliable, ergonomic and just plain fun to shoot. World class value in a pistol.
I voted CZ, but my Fiance would vote for Taurus.

OneShotOnly! · May 30, 2007, 10:52 AM

I am guessing HK guys are still sleeping over in US

Otherwise it would take the lead.

**Mal H** · May 30, 2007, 11:54 AM

Most likely at work not sleeping (or maybe at work sleeping

), it's past noon here on the east coast. HK doesn't have the ownership numbers in the US as much as Springfield, Kimber, Colt, SIG, etc.

Patience!

IanS · May 30, 2007, 12:11 PM

SA Custom Shop's Professional Model or Les Baer TRS. Pistols with the build quality and care that reflects its price.

For a you're more likely to "treat your gun like a lawnmower" knockabout pistol: Glocks in 9mm.

But I treat all my pistols with the same "reasonable" care and use. What's the point if I can't?

OneShotOnly! · May 30, 2007, 12:11 PM

Mal.. What do you carry, and fancy the most?

I have personal hunch that if everyone votes here SIG might win the day.

**Mal H** · May 30, 2007, 12:42 PM

That's exactly what I voted.

As far as everyone voting, I would be very surprised if 5% of the active membrs will vote in any poll, and for that reason alone they aren't a very good indicator of the facts. Polls just aren't that exciting to most. Probably a larger percentage will view the results than will actually vote in any given poll.

You have to realize that the very same question you have asked in your poll has been asked numerous times in the past 7 or 8 years. That's another reason you won't get a large "turnout".

hdawson228 · May 30, 2007, 12:55 PM

I voted Springfield. It's what I own the most. XD 9, 1911 and a May 1945
M1 Garand. What do I know?

OneShotOnly! · May 30, 2007, 12:56 PM

Well....still would hope that member viewing the result would vote, since I have seen the polls from last 8 years, and the fact that there have been significant improvements in the gun making.

kristop64089 · May 30, 2007, 04:57 PM

I can't vote in this poll. I can't say that any of my guns are better than another. I won't spend my money or my life on a weapon that I feel is inferior in any way. I have Springers, Smiths, Tanfoglios, CZ, even Bersa. But, the one thing they all have in common is that they each fill a specific duty.

And with that being said, they are all my favorite. (it's like asking which kid do you love better?

)

cavediver27 · May 30, 2007, 05:14 PM

Ruger all the way, reliable, accurate, will last forever and most important to me..............made in the USA!

LMFAO.....thanks alot fisherman, i just spit the water i had been drinking all over my laptop.

stephen426 · May 30, 2007, 05:31 PM

I voted for Sig but that was only because Les Baer was not listed as one of the choices. Sigs are great, but Les Baer's gun are incredible.

hexidismal · May 30, 2007, 05:43 PM

There really should have been an option for "other" on this poll. The OP did try to get some more uncommon makes in there, but left out a whole bunch. Some common ones too, like Para-ord, Auto-ord, Wilson, STI .. etc, the list on on.

**Mal H** · May 30, 2007, 06:23 PM

"Other" is there, you must have missed it at first.

MPanova · May 30, 2007, 07:55 PM

Thank you for adding Taurus. I added my vote for them
