If you were going to invest all your $ in one gun company

A question just for fun.

PUt all fanboy and dislikes aside for a moment.

If you were going to invest all your retirement $ into ONE gun company who would it be?

What company do you think is set up best for the most long term growth and/or profits?

It may not be the company you think makes the best or your favorite firearm....just which one is in the best position from a purely business standpoint.

*****disclaimer I realize it would be a poor idea to invest all your money into 1 company. I also realize some companies are publicly traded and some are not....lets not get too technical.....remember this is just for fun

for me it is Ruger. They have built a loyal following and their new products seem to be some of the most talked about product when they are released.

Offer a wide and deversified line of products. Good Reputation for products and Customer Service and seem to do a real good job with research and development.

Say what you will about them....I do think they have "taken" a few idea from other companies ...such as kel tec....but it seems to be a solid strategy

x2 for the Ruger. They have a wide range of guns, a rep for reliability and durability, reasonably priced, and I know for a fact that their CS is top notch.

EDIT: Though I own a few, I'm not a fanboi. Their refusal to make 10rd mags for the Mini-30 is simply... I don't know... what's the word? I know it's infuriating.

The market for DA .22 revolvers is red hot right now. Ruger needs to come out with a reasonably priced .22 wheelgun. Rumor has it the SP101 is gonna be offered in .22LR again. So maybe...

I'd say S&W is the most diversified.

Ruger.

Over the past year, Ruger stock has done a lot better than Smith & Wesson Holding Company. Smith & Wesson stock hasn't traded in the range that Ruger is trading at now since the summer of 2007.

Savage.

Colt or Glock

I'm sorry, why would we pick just one?
ok I'll play:
colt

 

[Unistat]

The Freedom Group.

 

[Smokey in PHX]

Ruger - they make more products than just guns. I believe the the only year they lost money was their first year in business.

The Freedom Group.
