I'm posting this in general because, despite the title, I'm talking about revolvers as much as semis.
First off I consider myself a Glock fan.
If you were to talk to me at the range and ask me what my favorite hadgun brand is, I'd probably say "Glock".
I like the ergonomics, I like the trigger (NY1 spring/"-"connecter), and I like the simplicity. Heck, I even kind of like the looks.
That being said, at the moment, I only have one Glock. I traded away my G22, and even though I plan to replace it with a 17 at some point, and will probably buy the G42 if it winds up being a single stack 9mm, as of right now the G19 is my only Glock.
But, with the recent purchase of an SR9c for my wife, I'm (or I guess "We're") now up to 4 Rugers (22/45, sp101, gp100, sr9c). In fact trading away my G22 was part of a deal to get my GP100.
It gets worse.
My long list of handguns I'd like to acquire are:
Glock 17,
Glock 42 - if and only if it's a single stack 9mm
Glock 34 - if and only if I ever stat playing gun games
1911 of some sort (and the SR1911 is in the running)
Ruger Blackhawk
Ruger SBH 4.42"
Ruger SBH Hunter
Ruger Redhawk - to complete my sp101, gp100 collection
Sig 226/9
CZ 75
- so 2-4 Glocks, 3-4 "Assorted" and 8-9 Rugers
Even if I had every gun I want, I'd have mostly Rugers.
And beyond that, mostly Ruger revolvers.
So, even though my Glock is my go-to "primary" gun, maybe I'm really more of a "Ruger guy" than a "Glock guy".
It seems like I might even be one of those "revolver guys" you read about. Which is strange, because for the next few months I'm still technically in my 20's.
Has anyone else had brand loyalty sneak up on them like that?
