Favorite Manufacturer and Why - Pistol Edition

Ok folks, let's spark some friendly debate shall we?  Respectfully of course...

The subject is what is your favorite pistol manufacturer and why?  Feel free to list the model and caliber of any you own.

Me, I'm a Sig Sauer guy.  One of my favorite authors of intense military-style action adventure is Matthew Reily.  In his books his describes various guns and I remember reading something about a Sig Sauer in one of them.  I completely recommend his books for some killer (pun intended) reading. They are page turners!

Anyway, my first Sig Sauer (my second pistol ever) was a 5" .45 built on the 1911 frame.  A gun that just said, look fool, you made a huge mistake!  Ha!  I bought this before I was into building and customizing guns, which I still focus on ARs for the most part, so it's a simple gun with basic sights on it.  But dang does it ever shoot smooth and true!  I love everything about if from the look, the feel in my hands, to the recoil and accuracy!

In the time since then, I've bought my wife a Sig P365 and after a brief stint with a Kimber Micro .380 that kept jamming up on me, I bought a P365XL.  I'm a sucker for a longer barrel, what can I say!  I've gotten pretty comfortable with it and it is another gun where I like the feel of it in my hands and the accuracy I'm gaining with it.

So now your turn!  Leave me a comment with your favorite...and Glock fans, please don't drool all over yourselves!

  1. Definitely the SIG P365...and I love the sights on the P365 SAS (model after the one I own).

Careful what you wish for.  Patience is a virtue.  There are many quotes to describe this experience.  To start with, the good news.  I sold...
