Glock - I don't like striker fired and think they are ugly.
Smith & Wesson - Don't know why, I just don't.
Ruger - If I ever buy a single-action revolver it will be a Ruger, though I doubt
that will ever happen.
Springfield - I have very wide hands with very short fingers. Never found a
Springfield I could grip.
I haven't given a valid reason for another person not to buy one of the above makers of firearms nor really much of a reason for me not to buy one. If one of the above were the only handgun available I would gladly own one and feel comfortable with it.
I like:
CZ, Sig, Browning, Colt Snubbies, RIA, Stoeger Cougars and Bersa. Why? I don't have a quantitative answer other than grip fit.
I firmly believe that all of the above mentioned company's make very fine guns and their fair share of lemons. I also believe that our subconscious governs our likes and dislikes much more than we know.
So what is the point of this ramble?
Don't be so quick to condemn others choices of firearms and tell them what idiots they are(it happens on all forums, this one less than most) unless of course it is a Judge or a Governor and then it is open season.
And don't be one of those people that rant on a forum that they will never buy another Ruger(pick any maker) because their NIB pistol had a scratch on it or was having extractor issues yet never even contacted Customer Service to let the Company make it right. The only time I've ever had an issue with a new firearm was with a new Weatherby rifle that the safety would not engage and a Browning Maxus that came new with a broken shell lifter. But companies made it right most rikky tick. I just get so tired of seeing threads titled, I'll never buy brand x again, and never even contacted the company to give them a chance to make it right.
