What are some of your favourite brands or companies in the firearms industry and can be for any reason, just generally.

Here are some of mine

CZ - love their history and the quality of their guns

Glock - say what you like Glock changed the game and still make one of the most reliable guns in the world even if it lacks frills.

Magpul - quality accessories at an affordable price

Lokgrips - quality products, and keep on growing

Beretta - awesome history and quality diversity of firearms

Bul Armory - for competition shooters, high quality at a decent price

Canik - the most improved company in the last 5 years

Brownells - have hugely helped the distribution of accessories, parts and gunsmithing tools in many countries

Holosun - for me, the perfect quality mid range products.

Taran Tactical Innovations - Respect for Taran as a competitive shooter, but what they have done bringing firearms and shooting technique into Hollywood is just cool.

Korth - even though i don't own one of their revolvers, i love the quality and artistry of their guns.

Tikka - bang for your buck rifles with such a high baseline quality.

Atlas- Best utilitarian custom/semicustom 2011 on the market

Staccato- Even though I only still own one of their guns, they brought the 1911 platform into the modern age and pioneered reliable double stack 1911/2011 mags.

Geissele- because there's still no substitute for a g$ trigger for pretty much everything they make.

Surefire- because they came out with a suppressor that looks like a dildo... plus they're the original and probably still the most sure-fire weapon light manufacturer.

Holosun- once known for cheap yet reliable optics... but now pretty much offer best-in-class, sacrifice nothing, and most feature rich optics for almost everything they make, proving cheap Chinesium products can absolutely upstage made-in-america/europe/wherever labor costs are high.

Langdon Tactical Technology- Producing the very best in da/sa (yes, I said it, cz fanboys) and probably (after upgrades) the best combat shotgun money can buy... all for not that much money.

Sig- offering endless memes, content, and entertainment for anyone who has ever laughed at a cartoon character shooting themselves by mistake or watched in amusement as a drunk made a fool of himself/herself in public. Also, in all honesty, I still have a soft spot for the mcx and the mpx, which is still the best sub gun/pcc on the market.

PSA- they cornered the entire budget market.... for everything. Unofficial king and champion of poors across the nation. What can you say about a company that has literally pushed every other company in their space out of business? They may never actually be JuStAzGuUd, but at this point, does it really matter? Half the people who buy their guns will never shoot them anyway.

Mec-Gar- lets take a moment to recognize the only company that consistently makes a better mag than whenever is offered oem... often at half the price.

Magpul- because I still own more pmags than any other rifle mag.

Without a doubt my favorite Firearms manufacturer is Glock. I'll tell you why.

I worked as a department Firearms instructor and armorer for years. There's been so many companies I've had issues with over the years but glock's customer service was always outstanding.

Not only that but they know their product inside and out. If you have an issue and you call them, they can typically tell you what's causing it and they are usually right.

When they were still in business, Windham weaponry was also outstanding. They really did stand by their lifetime warranty.

Bushmaster was terrible. They would send you something out of spec and then act like you were crazy.

DPMS was the same way.

Remington just went down the cracker especially when they got bought out. We had a lot of problems with their shotguns.

Smith & Wesson are very hit or miss. They don't seem very knowledgeable on their products either. As a matter of fact, at our local police academy, they had a bunch of the M&P AR-15s and we were having issues with them. They had completely missed the staking marks on the bolt carrier. It's almost like the people putting them together didn't know why they were having to stake the gas keys.

I have generally been pleased with the quality of all the weapons I’ve purchased. I want to give a special hat tip out to Springfield armory. I’ve only been shooting for a couple of years and a Springfield echelon was my first weapon and since then, I’ve bought an XDM and I’ve fired a hellcat and I have to say they just have a very consistent feel high build quality and seem ruggedly reliable. My XDM is probably my favorite and I’ve used it as an example of a good solid gun for new shooters who are moving up from a 22 to a 9 mm and want to get used to the recoil.

Now I see they have an SA/DA version of the SA 35 with a 4” barrel so I’m looking at my bank account again. That etched walnut is calling my name.

Accessories: AB Suppressors, Arisaka, Lancer, Inforce, MAGPUL, Olight, Streamlight, Surefire

Ammo: Barnes, CCI, Federal, Magtech, Speer (Haven’t settled on a subsonic 300 BLK factory load yet)
