Are you brand-exclusive?

[churchmouse]

OK most people aren't brand exclusive. Throwing a curve ball then- if you HAD to go brand exclusive, what would it be??

Springfield.
1911's/M1-a's

If you mean one brand and one brand only, for all my firearms, it would have to be Ruger. Most other companys do not make hunting shotguns, pistols, revolvers (single and double-action) , bolt-action rifles (centerfire and rimfire), ARs and single-shot rifles.
And of course the 10/22!

If I had to go brand exclusive for a given type of gun it would be Remington for rifles and shotguns and then S&W for hand guns.

Remington has gone back to making some pistols but they don't make one for hunting any more. I don't think they have ever made a revolver. I may be wrong on that. I don't know.

S&W don't make any bolt guns any more. Well they didn't last time I was on there site. I don't know if they have ever made a shotgun.

So as the guy stated above the only American Co that makes all types of guns is Ruger. I think it is FN that makes most types of guns, but they don't make a hunting hand gun. They don't make a 44 mag revolver or such in a pistol.

I could only go with brand exclusive by type of gun.

One company only I would have to go Ruger. They offer a product that would fit all my "working man" needs.

Variety is the spice of life...

My dad always said the same thing about all the women he's dated.

Originally I was going to say S&W, but now that I'm thinking about long guns... I'm not sure which company would have my business.

I'm more caliber specific than brand specific. For example, I've bought 3 9mm over the years (all Beretta actually, so maybe I am brand loyal, but that was more of a magazine thing too!) but the reasoning was I didn't want lots of different calibers. I've finally added 45 ACP, but I'll now stick to those two, rather than through 40SW / 380 / 10mm etc into the mix. Same thing for my rifles, I only run 223 and 308 due to availability and commonality of those calibers.

I use to be brand exclusive (Glock), then over the years ended up trading many of my glocks and expanded my horizons to find that almost every company has something unique and fun to offer.

if I had to be brand exclusive I would have to agree that Springfield would be the way to go!

 

[Madjack181]

Never intended to be brand specific but I ended up with Springfield XD in ,45ACP, 45GAP, .40S&W, & 9mm love them all

I'm not brand exclusive by choice. It's just that once you experience a custom CZ trigger everything else kinda sucks.

I would not recommend brand exclusiveness either. Gin companies are competing and always developing... stay with one brand and it goes south, you don't know what else could be out there. You can also look for reliability through forums like this, recommendations from your local shop and go online to check out reviews. That way you can at least be an informed buyer.

I'm definitly a remington guy ,...rifles and shotgun wise, but handguns aren't my thing.

And so are gun companies...

- I'm not really brand exclusive, but I do research on the brands that I'm interested in.

 

[Jmak]

I have four S&W's and any others are a mix. Who knows why?

 

[Psode27]

I like variety. American made is great, however I got into guns mostly shooting and collecting milsurps so I kinda like stuff that was scattered all over the world. As far as the carry guns or HD guns, they are of known good manufacture and have a good reputation. I would own pretty much anything that's interesting.

 

[chipsher]

I also got started shooting bolt action milsurps, now it's mostly Rem 1903a3s, Remington shotguns and rifles. Pistols are all over the place.

A buddy of mine is a bit weird when he gets guns. He isn't brand exclusive, but more like the "practical" exclusive that he only buys guns that fit a practical need. He doesn't seemed to want to get guns that can be "cool". To him, guns aren't fun.

 

[Bonkers4Bacon]

To him, guns aren't fun.

Sounds like you need new friends
