Well, I admit that I am a sucker for good firearms from anywhere. I particularly like Lugers and SIG's. I think that Berettas are very nice, and that HK's run like Swiss watches.
But, as far as the BEST firearms, well, let's see..........
Question 1: What single-action revolver from what company is probably the most copied and imitated handgun in the free world?
Hint: Does the word "Peacemaker" ring a bell?
Question 2: What semi-automatic handgun has been--or is being--copied in countries like Brazil, Argentina, and even China, and whose reputation is known worldwide as a fight stopper? Another hint: It sure ain't Glock.
Question 3. Name the lever action rifle so popular that it--and others like it--are known and classified by name alone? By the way, just who started Cowboy Action shooting anyway?
There are lots of good arms manufacturers out there. And no, we don't even have the oldest one--that distinction belongs to Beretta. But what other firearms company can equal the workmanship of a Smith and Wesson revolver, the versatility of the 1911 series, or the durability and timeless design of the Single Action Army?
In other countries, you might find one or two good barrel makers. In this country alone, how many do we have? And, how many of those have international reputations?
Yes, there are countries that turn out some outstanding firearms of one type or another. But, across the board for firearm excellence and workmanship, you just can't beat the good old USA.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
