Never thought I'd own a Sig. Then I shot a 226 and 229. Now I own both and carry one or the other daily.

Never thought I'd own a Sig. Then I shot a 226 and 229. Now I own both and carry one or the other daily.
Don't think I will ever say I'll never own a specific gun.
I used to say I wasn't a huge fan of m16 or ak47's....now I'm looking for one as we speak. Also, I wasn't really into 1911's when i first started getting into guns, but I'll have to add one to the collection just because they are so awesome....
+1, shot em, never liked em, will never buy em. I also will never buy a sig or a desert eagle. if I ever had the chance to get an M&P with an aftermarket trigger I would probably risk it. I'm a ruger and springfield guy myselfQuote:
Glocks! I've shot several, and they just don't feel "right" to me.
The worst gun I ever shot was wonderful !
Jennings hi-point llama if they still exist. I have nothing against glocks there just not for me with the funky grip angle.
I won't buy anything that is a well-known POS; like the aforementioned Lorcin/Jennings/Bryco or a Taurus. Why would someone do that? Get something that you like; that you know will work; and don't buy a POS in the first place.:danceban:
Student in our last practical pistol course had a Rossi revolver...action felt like frozen peanut butter (gun was clean and relatively new [her husband bought it for her]), timing was poor, just an all-around problem.
.
In addition to the Rossi, I wonder if he also bought her more life insurance? Hmmmmmmmm...Quote:

That's the only one I can honestly say I will never own. I refuse to disgrace my other firearms with its presenceQuote:

After owning 4 Sigs now I would say they have been hands down the most reliable guns I've ever owned. I wouldn't even build a list including guns I haven't fired. I still have my first Taurus from the early 90s when I carried into Atlanta at night working. Still love that little thing. I have to say after owning two S&W bodyguard 380s their firing pins both breaking more than once and the utterly crap laser built in drove me to sell them both at a 40% loss. Two pocket Sigs replaced them and I have never been happier. My Sig P250 has never even burped. My Sig 1911 went through about 20 matches and about 10,000 rounds with maybe a half dozen common simple malfunctions and still looks brand new. The finish isn't even work on the slide rails...
I don't know why anyone would rule out Bersa, especially after they've handled/fired one.Quote:

There's probably nothing I won't try, but I've yet to put a Springfield, Smith and Wesson, Taurus, Ruger or Kel-Tec in my hand that I liked the feel of.
I love CZs and HKs. There's enough in those lines to keep me busy.
No Norincos; Thats right; I said no Norincos. .......... I use chopsticks to help me clean guns; and that's all.
