Brand Loyalty

[b4uqzme]

This is just a "I wonder what you guys are thinking" thread.

Of course I am very Loyal to Kahr and have the 4 Kahr products in my signature. They are on the top of my "I'd never sell them" list.

But I'm curious what other brands you are loyal to and why? or how did it come about?

I'm partial to Ruger because I've always liked their revolvers. But I have a Mini14 and a 77/357 carbine too. I also seem to lean towards CZ: semi-autos, carbines and shotguns. You seem to get a lot for your money with CZ. Recently, I just got my first Beretta (trap shotgun) and am concerned I might be in trouble. My brother in law got a used Beretta .380 way back and now he has a whole safe full of them.

Thanks,

No brand loyalty here. I am not a collector so each of my firearms has a purpose. When purchasing a new one, I do some research on which ones stack up the best for the intended purpose. Whatever comes out on top gets bought.

I am loyal to any quality firearm ,my collection of handguns includes 2 Kahrs,9 S&W ,2 Kimbers ,1 Dan Wesson,7 Rugers 1 Beretta, 2 Ubertis ,1Colt,and 1 Rossi. Gee when I look at it written down I just realized I'm a "Gun Whore"

Brand loyalty. To a point. Ruger has been special to me with service. I prefer Ruger revolversvof all sorts. Currently own four. Kahr works for me. One stolen, zero hesitation to get another. Literally before the ink wad dry on the police report. After that....no real brand loyalty, just model loyalty, ie KSG, but not Kel-Tec

I have preferences. I also like CZs, but have a couple of Berettas, some Rugers, a Colt, Smith&Wesson, Savage, Winchester, Ithaca, etc. In some brands, there are particular models that are fantastic. I think you'll enjoy that Beretta shotgun, they make some nice ones.

I usually prefer not on some brands, like Taurus, Kel-Tec, Hi-Point, etc. But, there are certain of their product I have considered and I would probably buy if the urge hits hard enough.

I like Ruger and S&W for revolvers.............I like Beretta and Sig for auto's, I do like my Kahr.................................I've been feeling the need to branch out lately..............I feel a 1911 in my future(never thought I'd say it) and it could be a Springfield range officer compact, maybe....................

I'm in the gun whore category myself. If it goes bang and looks cool, I love it. The older and the weirder the better.

I do have scruples though. No Saturday night specials in my toy box.

I'm not really a collector but I'm definitely an accumulator.

Me too. Kahr, Glock, Beretta, Colt, etc...

I try to be carry loyal as I only want to carre one design of handgun but not gun loyal at all.

Gun whore...what's that? Somebody get me a mirror...

guess if I was to be loyal regarding pistols I'd say it would have to be Glocks, if I was told I could only own 3 pistols all three would have to be Glocks....

my loyalty started from my dislike of glocks, I was into sigs, hk, a guy I knew was a glock head and always went on and on about them, nothing compared to the trigger yada yada a real whackjob when it came to his glocks, he was in various competition's I think one of the first up in idpa when it started.... anyhow I never liked the blocky ugly pignose look about them I wanted a sexy gun and they were not it....yrs later I finally put my cluttered/biased thoughts aside and actually picked one up stripped it looked it over dry fired it a bunch and eventually bought one, sold many of guns since then since they just wouldn't perform like my glocks would.... at this time I only have 3 glocks these numbers tend to go up and down with a trade or two that spike my interest.... but the glock to me is the best firing weapon I can own adn they keep it simple stupid ........ just run................

Kinda the reverse with kahr for me, years ago I seen the new 'at the time' polymer framed guns and though those look nice and people were going on about how good kahr was......

then the internet tells the story and most of that story doesn't sound to good, but me being the adventurous one I am decided to throw money in the wind and see where it lands (remember my wholesome first post) its landed me a really nice PM9 that probably wont be for sale anytime soon as I've bonded with it a little after 1K+ downrange with ZERO issues.....
That's where my loyalty starts, something that works everytime regardless of ammo or if I rack the slide, etc....

I'm a gun whore no doubt I have lots of guns, some are collectors some are just old....

if I had to sell them all again I would keep my Glocks and a .22lr rifle that has mucho sentimental value...was my dads gun adn was the very first gun I ever shot as a kid, and was my sons very first shot also... its his now but I keep it for him until he is of age and moves on....

Agreed....I used to favor Para Ordnance untill their customer service went away. You can't buy a simple sear spring for an LDA and they could care less. Now I seem to be favoring Sig's.

Very loyal to kahrs. Mine have all been winners overall. I wont sell them.

I like 1911's and AR's a lot too. Brand not important but all need to function 100% and be accurate. If they're not they're gone. Like very accurate rifles too.

Never thought i would have another glock after i got rid of my first one in the 80's. The gen 4's and 30s with the sf frame have decent grips. Ill keep the 2 I have but thats it. The gen 4 g19 took more breakin and tweaking than any of my kahrs did. It had FTF problems really bad. Glock perfection ain't perfect.

I luved my Para carry 9, it just never loved me back. worst finsih I have ever seen on a expensive gun, lovely trigger system, went back 3 times on my diume every time qand never got right=-NEVER got right, sad as this was the first 1911 style semi I owned that I thoght I would keep until death do us part. I am not sure if they even make a lda9. Their service when it was in seiverville, tn, was just terriblelI think the techs spent tomuch time over at Dolly Pardons amusement. Just sasyin
