I am suprised no one mentioned ARMATIX, for sure a
NEVER BUY gun.
That said everything else is fair game, especially when the zombies come
Some
opinions:
I enjoy the Glocks I own (17, 19, 20, 21), that said I don't think I will be spending my hard earned money on their .45 GAP models.
I probably wouldn't buy their dedicated .40 S&W and .357 SIG models either because a conversion barrel is cheaper.
SIG: I like my P220, P238 and P225, but I don't think I would buy a P232, P250, or SP2022
Also, not happy with the prices SIG wants for their magazines.(any model)
I try to judge based on experience and not others opinions but I would be hard pressed to spend money on a Hi-Point after handling one (didn't shoot it)
I don't much like super micro compacts especially as the caliber moves up.
I don't like models where the barrel is attached to the frame (PPK -slide bite, H&K P7, Bersa 380)
I don't think I would buy a Taurus because they seem to just clone other companies and products, I'd rather just get the original (example: Beretta 92FS)
Wouldn't buy any of the XD line, don't like the grip safety and bulky slide (feels unbalanced)
Wouldn't buy an M&P, although nothing against it, just don't want one.
XD and M&P didn't exist when I bought my first Glock
Not into H&K because of pricepoint, design, and attitude (H&K fanboys have to be worse than Glock fanboys no?)
Don't think I would buy a Kahr based on reputation, price and overall feel.
Nothing Kel-Tec makes appeals to me.
Don't think I'd buy a Mossberg either especially the chainsaw grip, Barrett Muzzle break, bayonet fitted, rails up the ying-yang shotguns.
Wouldn't want obscure/obsolete hard to find calibers (pistol or rifle)
My criteria: functionality/reliability, ergonomics/balance, design/aesthetics, Customer service, price in that order.
I am left handed so I have that against me
