On another very long thread, people were asserting things about the popularity of a particular design. It would be interesting to know (even approximately) the sales figures for various brands/designs.
I found one web page that listed sales (by caliber) for Glocks.
http://shootingmessengers.blogspot.com/2007/01/most-popular-glock-models-in-us.html
The number claimed was that 318,000 Glocks were sold in the US in 2006.
For 1911 designs in 1999, according to this article:

Colt: 44,112
Kimber: 23,493
Springfield: 11,005
Does anyone know any other semi-reliable figures for any other manufacturers/design?
