Do you like to shoot the same brand or various

I have, let's see, 9mm guns from the following manufacturers:

Astra-A75.
S&W- 5906 6906.
Canik- TP9v2.
Tanfoglio- TA90 "Mossad" 2 full sized and one compact.
Taurus-PT111 G2 (2)
Kel-Tec-SUB 2000 Beretta mags.

All the above are pretty much 100% reliable, except when loaded with a defective cartridge. I roll them on a little tray before I load the mags and I catch about one in every 150 that is distorted or has the case mouth deformed.
If they pass the roll test, they pretty much shoot fine, regardless of brand. I have had these brands recently:

WW white box 115
Perfecta. 115
UMC. 115
Blazer brass. 115
Blazer alum. 115
Remington. 115 and 124.
Speer Lawman 115
Sellier 115 and 124.

For practice I buy what's cheap. For carrying, I spend the money to get better stuff.

 

I own firearms made by Springfield Armory, Beretta, SIG-Sauer, Walther, Ruger, and Stoeger.

When it comes to pistol trigger actions I have single action only, double action only, traditional double action (DA/SA), and striker-action. My one and only revolver is a double action.

So I guess the answer is no, I don't stick to one brand.

 

Bought and shot many different brands and configurations and eventually backed down to pretty much Glocks and 1911's.

You'll just have to try em all to find what you like, if you don't you just always wonder. Grass is always greener and all that.

 

I am an admirer of CZs!
IMO, reliability is the first and foremost consideration, and all major manufacturers have the problem tamed. Any quality gun is a good thing. My problem is that the transition from my revolver to a modern semi-auto may have a bit of a learning curve, but is not impossible.

Having said that, my "other gun" Is a Ruger MK II semi-auto... for like 35+ years so; What; me worry?"

All guns have different personalities, but, given multiple guns of the same sort, finding one ammo that will provide acceptable accuracy/reliability should not be a problem. (But, where's the fun in that?) Major manufacturers do not make "bad" ammunition! (Rounds that fly back and shoots your hat off! )

For light target loads(?) a lighter recoil spring might be a necessity, but CZs have a reputation for eating anything!

 

Between the wife and I, we have ten different models of 9mm handguns, not counting the duplicates. Glock, CZ, S&W, Sig, Springfield Armory, and RIA are all represented. Each has it's role to play.

For pure pleasure shooting, it's hard to beat the RIA 1911 9mm Tactical - especially at the price.

 

Being a "super gun owner", I have a lot of guns from a number of manufacturers.

I have more S&W revolvers than anything else, but have lots of others.

I like handguns in general and don't limit it to any one kind.

 

I didn't read the article or watch the video.

I currently own 10 handguns and one AR carbine.

Do I qualify for super gun owner? If so, when do I get my lapel pin?

 

Funny about the super gun owner. I heard that on the radio too. Apparently you multiple gun owners are the good guys!!! You need to worry bout us single ones! ;-)

 

Don't limit yourself. Buy the gun that speaks to you. Do some research though. Make sure you know what you're getting.

I rented a glock 17 today. Shot it decent enough but it hurt my hand badly. Just didn't fit well. Where my thumb meets my hand was raw and only 50 rounds shot.

So....I bought another CZ.

 

I think there is a lot to be said for shooting firearms of the same type (within a category like rifle, or pistol, or shotgun) that are as similar to one another as possible. I absolutely would not want to be switching between double action only, striker, double action/single action, manual safety or not, decocker or not. Not necessarily the same brand, but the same brand would still help with consistency because the triggers could be identical instead of similar, same sight radius, same sights, same grip angles, etc.

Fortunately there are a whole heck of a lot of very good polymer frame striker fired no manual safety pistols out there, one can have an awful lot of variety of manufacturers, cartridges, sizes, etc, without changing the operational controls or even type of trigger so I make use of that, myself.

BTW, a great thing about a whole lot of those polymer guns...they just work, no matter what factory ammo you are using. None of this "hmm that factory ammo jams but that one doesn't, I wonder if this third one will work?" junk.

 

No one brand chambers their guns for all the cartridges I want to shoot. So by necessity I have various brands. I also buy based on particular features. No one company can produce guns to satisfy everyone's tastes.
