I took favorite manufacturer to mean the product, not necessarily the overall company.

I voted for HK because I consider their products top of the line, but their customer service (until just recently) has sometimes been a little rough. I could also argue about their marketing and product offerings.

But what they design and build they design and build real well.

Basically, who makes your fav gun.

My favorite is Ruger.

I voted for HK because I just ordered a USP-C 9mm Stainless yesterday...wooohooo. :-D I love the feel of that gun, but you could say that I'm a little partial. It'll be my first gun purchase.

....I can't wait till it comes in.... 8)

Glock and S&W so far.

Fine products AND top notch customer service.

Yes sir, took some long deliberation but I decided to take the chance. I spoke with a guy thats on the hkpro.com forums and he told me that he had purchased the 9mm SS from CDNN about a month ago and that he couldn't be happier. He also expressed similar anxiety before the purchase but he was glad that he did it.

From your list, SIG~! But, ranking right up there in the same class
is the Les Baer Custom firearms.

Well, I had more options, but I had to delete them. It would only allow so many.

I went with Beretta. Mine has held up fabously 8)

I voted S&W as I own more S&W handguns than those by any other maker.

Walther & HK are my 2 favs

Ruger 17HMR Single Six, Ruger Mark II and III, Ruger GP 100 357, Ruger P90, P95 and P345..........one Glock 22. ( 2 Ruger rifles too!), so I guess Ruger is my#1!!!

My Wilson Combat 1911's are my favorite.......followed very closely by my Springfield XD-45.

Even though I don't own any at this time, I think overall Sig Sauer makes the best out of the box, most accurate firearms in the industry.
Anyone who has had an opportunity to shoot any Sig may agree with me on the accuracy concept. Oh sure, there is a downside to Sig as well, but OVERALL, I think they are the best manufacturer of pistols out there.

I think I will have to go with Sig too. Top notch firearms. I have liked everyone I have shot. I only own one right now but that will change in the future.

Colt

Looks like the 1911 is in the lead

Springfield!

So far for me it's Para Ordnance but they are not on the list.

Just vote for 1911 then - w/ the options being limited (there is a max), no way that he could put EVERY manufacturer...

That's like choosing your favorite child. I can bring it down to two... SIG and H&K.

As for customer service, yeah, both have failed badly there in the not too distant past and may well again. Then again, you have to face the fact that the civilian market isn't their primary interest. Just be thankful you have as many choices as you do and act when the time comes you may not.

If you really want to know the favorite manufacturer the 1911's should be broken into separate/individual manufacturers. The 1911 style handgun is made by a huge number of companies so breaking it down would certainly be cumbersome.
