Who is your favorite handgun gun manufacturer?

I previously had a thread started back in 2007. However, people have asked for more options - so, I am starting a new poll.

Vote for your favorite - I can't possibly include everyone, but I tried to do the major companies...

I only stick with the high end and quality gun manufacturers. A year ago I would have said Sig but as I get older that DA first shot is not longer easy for me except for the P938 and P238 that I own. I am currently a big fan of HK with the LEM trigger of V3 (I believe) USP that allows you to carry SA cocked and locked when on your belt and DA/SA when buried in my night table drawer. I find that HK has less recoil but the SRT trigger on the Sigs is sweet. I used to own an X5 Sig which is SA with a very light trigger. Mine was 2.5 lbs for Steel competition shooting. That is a nice gun but costs over $2K now.

1. HK
2. Beretta
3. Sig classic P-series


I have samples of all 3 brands and currently more Beretta's than the rest but HK handgun quality and workmanship has just been too consistent for too long for me to bump them from my top spot. USP or USPc born yesterday or 10-years ago no diff. other than the serial number.

I do not know who my favorite manufacturer is but,I do know who my least favorite is :BROWNING !. I recently bought a buckmark and the front sight on it is warped. When I called their customer service and asked them if they could send me a replacement sight(it screws on ) assuring them I would return the defective one as soon as I got the replacement as this process would allow me to at least use the gun in the interim (damaged as it is ) and that they could bill me for the second sight if I did not return the first one. I was told that this was not possible. In fact the representative was rude telling me that if I wanted them to look at the gun to see if I was telling them the truth I would have to send the entire pistol to them at my expense. When I objected and stated that this was not the way to encourage me to become a repeat buyer the representative told me that they had plenty of customers and did not need me. Are you kidding! They sell me a defective product and when I ask politely that the defective part of the gun be replaced I am told to take my business elsewhere ! I will and had I known of the horrible state of Browning's customer service I would have bought a Ruger instead .Machines often fail and then you need to rely on the maker to stand behind their product. Browning did not and what is worse they feel that they are too big to be asked to do so. Don't make the mistake I made. Stay away from Browning !
