Handguns only - I believe it is now at 22 DIFFERENT brands for U.S.-made and just 2 from foreign makers. Got one today that makes an even dozen from that one U.S. brand.

And, that particular company ceased operations 80 years ago!

I had wanted to stick to one manufacturer, but it just didn't work out that way.

Sig Sauer: 3
Colt: 2 (I do not shoot them)
Smith and Wesson: 1
Beretta: 1
Para-Ordnance: 1
 
Multiples of autoloaders and wheel guns by several manufacturers. All my wheel guns are S&W. Most of my autoloaders are SIG in .45 ACP, 357 SIG, and 9mm. I have a few from H&K, SA, and S&W. I have a CZ 75B in satin nickel on the way. I didn't plan to own a nickel gun, but it was NIB and well more than a hundred bucks cheaper than a polycoat CZ 75B.
 
Colt, Wilson Combat, Sig, H&K, Beretta, S&W, Springfield Armory, Ruger, Astra, Glock, Taurus, uh, I think that's it.
 
I don't have any intention to stick to any one brand/manufacturer. I buy what I believe is best for my needs and what will work/fit.
That being said, I currently do lean more toward the older type revolvers. This is for the same reason I've been more interested in bolt guns over semi's for the past few years.
I also won't duplicate a firearm as I believe my goal is to build an acceptable, usable, flexible, battery and not begin a collection of firearms I might find too valuable to shoot.
My current hand gun/manufacturers are:
S&W Model 629 Classic w/ 5" - .44mag/.44spec
S&W Model 60 Chiefs Special Style w/ 2" - .38spl
S&W Model 63 Kit Gun w/ 4" - .22lr
Colt 1911 pre series 70 - .45ACP
IMI Magnum Research Baby Eagle - 9mm
Taurus 92C - 9mm
Ruger MKII Target 512 - .22lr
