Most popular handgun brand of THR owners

[theotherwaldo]

Ten of my manufacturers are on your poll, twelve aren't.

Is there going to be a second poll?

 

[doubleh]

Darn, no mention of Phoenix. What's up with that?

 

[jrmiddleton425]

I own CZ, Colt, Glock, and S&W handguns.

 

[walnut1704]

I have to say I'm surprised Glock coming in at 4th.

I have to say I'm surprised at the relatively high level of Taurus ownership. Not the top of the list, but they made the top half.

 

[Bobson]

I was pretty surprised to see Ruger and S&W dominating. Then I remembered that people still own and buy revolvers. For SOME reason.









That was a joke.

 

[Twiki357]

1976B.L.Johns, Looks like Twiki357 has me beat in the handgun department. I only have 4 Smiths.

But you have me beat in everything else.

 

[GunnyUSMC]

Had to go back over mine. I forgot about some that I had.
I thought there would be more Hi-Point owners because, whenever someone says something bad about them so many come to their defense.

 

[Spats McGee]

I'm not surprised to see Ruger and S&W leading the pack, but I am surprised that they're so far ahead of Glock and Colt. Now I just have to decide if my tinfoil hat will let me vote.

With new technology the Government is now able to track your Tinfoil hat. Get rid of it now!!!!!

 

[Reloadron]

It's a shame we can't keep voting based on the number of a single brand we own...

Yeah as my deck is stacked since I collect S&W Revolvers and Colt Series 70 MK IV models. There are a few Rugers, my wife's little Walther PPK and several other assorted handguns in the mix.

[Don357]

Between the wife and I, we have 2 Kel-Tecs, 1Ruger, 1Taurus, 1 FM (Argy), 1TZ(Zastava) 1Essex(1911a1), 1RG, and a Cobra. I have owned the TZ twice

 

[Rodentman]

I just finished taking inventory! I have 23 Smiths followed by 10 Rugers. I have at least 1 of every mfr listed in the poll except 6. I have a lot of stuff, but I KNOW there are folks who have more. A lot more, and that's a good thing!

 

[Tallball]

I had 13 of 20, plus around ten manufacturers who aren't listed. It's not the OP's fault that there can only be 20 choices.

 

[beeenbag]

I wonder...

Wonder what the most commonly owner ruger of the bunch is?

May be able to narrow this down to THR's most popular handgun period.

Maybe even do a top 10 s&w and top 10 Ruger in a pole? I will let someone else decide if they want to fire that poll up though.

 

[mgresh]

Not surprised to see Ruger and Smith so far in front.

 

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

I own more Rugers than anything else------not that I shoot them the most.

 

[Steve51]

Ruger 7; Taurus 2. All revolvers except 2 (Ruger LC9s & Ruger Mark IV).

 

[Sauer Grapes]

I have to say I'm surprised at the relatively high level of Taurus ownership. Not the top of the list, but they made the top half.

What can I say, I love my PT709. Bought it when they first came out. My first single stack.

 

[2zulu1]

Informative, I seem to like Colt 1911s and S&W wheelguns the most; however, my last purchase was a Sig 1911, nice.

 

[Dr.Rob]

Brand loyalty must mean something. I am a Colt and Ruger guy. My first pistol was a Ruger .22, my first centerfire pistol was a Colt. I really haven't strayed far with the exception of my brace of FEG pistols. In 30 years or so of buying handguns seems I've been pretty narrow minded.

 

[bangbang01]

Surprised there aren't more Colt owners. Couldn't vote for my Brownings.

I was actually surprised how many people own a colt on this forum in comparison to the General Public. I would figure it would have been about 15%.

It definitely tells you something about the average age of members on this forum. It's not that young people don't like Colts, they just can't afford them lol

 

[If1HitU]

I have ten on the list.

 

[Old Dog]

One suspects that the number of respondents participating in this poll who own Ruger handguns says more about the price point and availability of Ruger handguns than anything else.

I think that asking those who own multiple handguns which brand they own more -- or carry more often -- or take to the range more often -- or which brand they absolutely trust their life to -- of might provide a better assessment of popularity ... Not enough people participating to declare a "most popular" brand (I know there's a lot more than 46 THR members who own H&K pistols, for example, and the CZ, Beretta, SA numbers indicate that a lot of members aren't voting).

 

[Deus Machina]

I figure the upswing of Ruger is due to the revered Standard and Mark series, and their new glut of pocket-sized, small belt, and budget CCW pistols.
If this had been posted ten years ago, probably not as many Ruger auto owners.
As much as I love my Mk III and SR9c, the P-series was, to put it politely, not going to place in any Miss America pageants.

 

[webrx]

You should add Pietta/Uberti, etc to the list, there are a lot of folks that own reproductions and BP revolvers.

My Carry guns are either Ruger LCRx, LC9s, LCP or Sig p238, but, I also own several Piettas both in BP and SA versions.

I find it funny that only 19 people admit to owning a high point, I know 19 people in my neighborhood that own one (and we are urban UMC - not in town). I own two a C9 and a 995 pcc - they are perfectly fine and fun range guns. I will admit though, if I had not been able to get the C9 brand new with discounts and gift card for less then $75 on black friday one year, I probably would not have bought it, and would have missed out on having a reliable throw in the truck, or tacklebox, or trailer gun.
