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?

I don't hate. I appreciate, all brands.

Yeah, Mossbergs.

I am partial to Ruger myself.

I like S&W

Handguns Glock...

Rifles...whatever

Shotguns...Remington

 

I like the styles of certain brands but Iam open to any quality made firearm.

S&W and Ruger

Smitty revolvers.

 

All else it just depends on how I'm feeling and what hole I want to fill in the lineup.

 

C

S&W

 

or

 

anything BLF decides NOT to buy

Well that doesn't leave much to choose from.

Anything of quality. Refuse to buy subpar $hit that some people will "get by" with

S&W

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 tend to go to Marlin's and Savage rifles. Browning Hi-Power and other 1911 style handguns and Mossbergs for shotguns.

Don't own anything yet...but HK's

i have a few springfields in the house (2 by company and 3 by name)... wasn't really planed that way

True

Handguns--Springfield

Revolvers--Ruger and S&W

Rifles--Marlin and Remmington

Shotguns--Mossberg and Stoeger for SxS

Sig sauer

 

 

Nah I'm eclectic. But it has to be American made.

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.

Semi auto pistols - Springfield, Kimber and Beretta

Revolvers - S&W

Shotguns - Remington and Mossberg

Rifles - no preference, maybe build my own?

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.

Not really, I have a wilson, kimber, sig, S.A., S&W, Beretta, - see any trends? Go with what works well for a specific "APP" and price point...Brand loyalty can get out of hand...EG, I like 1911 (i have 3 full size) but the really small ones don't work as well as plastic pistols...

Partial to springfields

If you put a Smith & Wesson logo and name on it, I'll buy it.

+1

love my 92fs.. i think i'm definitely partial to that style in a handgun but i will buy anything that meets my criteria:

 

reliable, fits my hand/shoulder/cheek/whatever, accurate (enough) and effective
