Do you gravitate towards a certain brand?

Recommended Posts

My first handgun that I purchased was a Beretta 92FS. When I decided that I wanted a .40 caliber, I looked around and ended up at the PX4 Storm.

 

When looking for a pistol caliber carbine, I tried to save money and bought a JR Carbine 9mm, but it didn't feel right. I sold it and looked around then ended up buying a CX4 Storm 9mm, and it feels perfect in my hands.

 

Now I'm looking at other guns and find myself back at the Beretta website. Added to my wishlist now are the Nano and U22 Neos.

 

Does anyone else have a brand that they look at first when picking a firearm?

Ha! I had the same Beretta attraction that you have, except I went PX4, 92Fs, then CX4.

 

But I went and got myself a CZ 75 BD, and I'm cured of the Beretta bug.

Not that I don't love them, it's just that I love my CZ a bit more. My next pistol will be a CZ SP-01.

 

Try one, you'll know what I mean!

I consider myself a pretty critical consumer. I'm more than willing to go off the beaten path if it means I'm getting a better product. That said, there are very few brands that I give my complete trust to. Namely, I am a huge fan of 5.11 Tactical. Everything they make is quality and I have zero hesitation is ever recommending them.

 

I don't have enough experience with firearms, but you can see in my purchases my willingness to buy something more obscure. I currently own only two firearms: A PPQ M1 and a PWS Mk116 Mod 1 AR15.

 

In terms of flashlights, the only brand I've had work perfectly is FourSevens. I've had a Fenix light fail (still troubleshooting that) and I've have a Streamlight fail and neither of those have seen nearly as much use as the FourSevens.

I did and know exactly what you mean....Went from a marginal Sig to a CZ and have an order in for a 2075 Rami.

For me CZ and S&W.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
