It's a tie, for me, between Miroku and U.S. Firearms.

Glock - Owned more Glock pistols than any other brand. Tried to replace the Glocks as EDC with other brands but always went back to a Glock.

Posted: 3/5/2011 5:19:07 PM EDT

BCM. Beretta for just about all other applications.

LaRue, just need him to make a 1911.

Posted: 3/5/2011 7:53:54 PM EDT

Nothing wrong with stag IMO. Other than the fact that ARs are all they make.

Posted: 3/6/2011 6:13:47 AM EDT

Colt all the way

Posted: 3/6/2011 10:47:49 AM EDT

Oly Arms
Taurus
Jennings.

COLT and H&K. Can't go wrong with either.

Posted: 3/6/2011 1:33:16 PM EDT

[#31]

Anyone who doesn't appreciate innovation at an affordable price ....... well, anyway.

I'm going with Kel Tec because their product line is so absolutely unique yet so absolutely affordable.

I'll grant Olympic a second place due to their line of WSSM and pistol caliber AR's.

Finally, I have to give the bronze medal to Taurus for their line of revolvers ..... again at an affordable price

Agreed...Makes you wonder how/why they can sell the RFB for what they do, and the ACR costs what IT costs.... Bah blah blah.... plastic molds... blah blah blah. Good job, Shrubmaster.

I would say Springfield Armory handguns, and (At least until I get my LaRue) Armalite rifles.

Easy, Benelli

I'm a shotgun guy, and have owned no shotguns that dont bear their name. I started with a Supernova pump and I'm up to a HK Marked Montefeltro.

Posted: 3/8/2011 12:56:28 PM EDT

HK, even though I'll never be able to afford what I really want from their lineup...

ETA: And even though I suck and they hate me

Posted: 3/8/2011 1:12:54 PM EDT

One company doesn't have it all..

Historical Favorite : Springfield Armory
Semi Rifle : Colt
Bolt Rifle : Remington
Revolver : Smith & Wesson
Pistol : Glock
Shotgun : Remington

––––––––––––––––––––––––-

IF I had to pick a one stop shop for everything?

It'd probably be S&W. Although I don't own any of the M&P line, it's become quite impressive in the last couple years.

Posted: 3/8/2011 4:42:04 PM EDT

Any... I like them all.

Posted: 3/8/2011 5:21:07 PM EDT

Smith&Wesson

The real Springfield Armory.

Posted: 3/9/2011 1:55:39 PM EDT

[#42]

1:Kel-tech for the most progressive....

2:Magpul...but i think they fell off the rail.

3:Robinson arms...they need to find a new CEO and throw out the customer service dept..and start anew!

4:MSAR...seems they need to have pro QC inspector and buy a 4axis mill to make thier bolts.

all four are progressive and have great designed if not excuted products, all but Kel-tech seem to need an all new managment team.

Posted: 3/10/2011 4:26:41 AM EDT

S&W... revolvers, 1911's, M&P's, AR's, shotguns, etc.

Posted: 3/10/2011 4:49:28 AM EDT

since I grew with HK and it paid the bills for family members i will say HK and yes at times it was painfull to watch.

Posted: 3/10/2011 5:15:25 AM EDT

[#45]

For me its a toss up for Steyr or Colt... Both have rifles in service with militaries around the world (AUG and AR/M4/M16 respectively), and both make pistols (M9-A1 and 1911).

I'm a sucker for companies with 100+ years of history.
