Holy rugers!

Must not be following the trends. I don't own any of them.

That made no sense, it was a mixture of manufacturers overall numbers and a couple of specific guns. Not at all what the headline implies which would be the actual top 10 handgun models. Fail!

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

This list is a joke.

No. 10: Glock. The Austria-based company made 23,752 handguns at its Georgia plant in 2011.

OK, so they made 23,752 in Georgia, but how many more were imported from Austria ?????

No. 2 Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum revolver.

Yeah right, so nearly every gun owner must have a Model 29 in their collection.

Wow Ruger has been pretty busy with manufacturing I see.

I question the authenticity of this article.

I question the authenticity of this article.

its an authentic article but its retardedly done

 

[grizquad]

Thats why I own Ruger stock! When the rest of the market is down, Ruger and Dunkin Donuts is Up!

So is this list something I need to try and fulfill? Im a bit behind since none of mine are on there. They must not be cool enough for actors I guess. Well at least they go boom

I question the authenticity of this article.

What gave away the quality of their research? To me, it was listing Matthew Fox as having played Alex Cross when he actually played the serial killer. I didn't even see the stupid movie and I picked up on that, so I have to question how deep they looked considering they couldn't even get their pop culture references right.

Yea... I seriously don't know what they were smoking... I believe S&W in general is #2 in production this year, that makes sense, but to say that they are #2 overall based only on the M29? I don't think so.

This list is absolutely baffling.

No wonder 9mm is more expensive than years past and elusive - Ruger made over 300k of 9mm pistols

That as a bit of an 'F' up. Do they not remember Kiss the Girls or Along Came a Spider?

Or y'know... that Alex Cross is black.

It should have been Top 10 Domestic Handgun Manufacturers... the stats are domestic hangun manufacturing numbers submitted to the government, not specific models.

 

[RG617]

I'm still pretty baffled that hi-point has sold that many pistols. Either those are shipped overseas or their main retailers are the backs of vans in Chicago and Detroit.

This.

I don't understand all the fuss or confusion.

The BATF publishes a report of each and every firearms manufacturers domestic production numbers.

The make, model, movie connection is only there for the great unwashed masses to relate to.

 

[Apathesis]

Or y'know... that Alex Cross is black.

That's what I was getting at.

Everyone knows Alex Cross is Morgan Freeman, not a gay black dude who dresses in drag to trap straight men in uncomfortable scenarios.

 

[RHJJ]

What a joke

 

[Pilgrim]

yup the top selling gun is the Ruger, which covers their entire line, but the number 2 best selling gun is the Model 29.

Apples and oranges.

Yeah right, so nearly every gun owner must have a Model 29 in their collection.

If they don't, they should.

The individual models aren't what's being ranked in that article... it's just the manufacturer.

Ruger #1 in volume, S&W #2 in volume, Sig #3 in volume, Glock #10 in volume for domestic manufactured handguns. The author and editor should find a new line of work as it the headline and article aren't very clear, but this isn't Mandarin Chinese either...
