Quality of less-famous handguns

[someguy2800]

They are a very well known brand for revolvers and rifles, but I feel like Ruger 9mm, 40, and 45 pistols don't get the attention they deserve either. The LC9s and Max 9 are a couple of the best micro 9's ever and they are built like a tank. They had a modular chassis before that term was popular. The P365 was pretty much a direct copy of the LC9s but they beat ruger to the punch by putting a double stack mag in it. The old SR pistols were also great pistols if you want a glock like pistol with a narrower grip and manual safety.

My two cents and worth exactly that in todays play money, thank you,Joe.

I have no experience with any of the Turk mad guns except for a Sar B-6. It had been dead reliablle at the range with cheap ball ammo and all my lead handloads, even SWC. I liked it as it exited its box and with the addition of a spring kit and talon grip overlays it's great. My LGS continues to sell quite a few Girsan and Tisa guns so I would think they are are probably OK. If not word would get around to the locals.

I have owned 6 Taurus guns over the years that never had a problem. #2 grandson now has one, a PT1911 45 and #1 grandson has the 24/7. Both are full size. Not too long ago I made the comment to #1 that I hadn't seen him bring the 24/7 to our range trips for awhile and did he want to give it back, That was met with a resounding NO. I traded 2 others for something different but have kept my PT1911 in 9mm and their discontinued Guacho SA in 45 Colt. The 1911 is a gentle old pussycat with mild hand loads and the Guacho is quite pleasant with cowboy loads and rubber Pachmyer grips that keep it from beating up my middle finger.

Arex pistols are top quality and very underrated even unknown by many people. I have an Arex Delta Gen 2M and IMHO they are the best polymer pistols.
