Me and my son were talking about an article we read recently about Colt. The article talked at great length about the quality control that goes into all of their firearms but specifically the 1911.
So my son asked me... "Dad, who is the best gun maker?" I explained to him that some manufacturers had some great successes as well as some real dogs. But he was persistent, as 11 year olds often are, and asked " Yeah but overall, who is the best?"
Well that really made me think. That is a pretty tough question. Even the best makers have had some offerings that I am sure they wish had never gone to market.
So I am interested in what you folks think. Not custom gun makers, major manufacturers. The hard part was ranking them from best to worse, and even though I am a Glock hater, I had to give them the #1 spot. So here is my short list. What is on yours?
Glock
Colt
Sig
Smith and Wesson
Baretta
Ruger
H&K
I know that the order is debatable, and I know I missed a few (love my Kahr), but it is a tough question.
