1911
1. RIA (Charles Daly)..Two of the four 1911s I have owned have been either RIA or CD, never a problem with either one. My current CD has been my favorite 1911 to date.
2. SA
3. Para
4.Ruger
5.Kimber
No personal experience with 2,3 or 4, based strictly on what others have stated. Hated the cs of Kimber and the fact it's finish was worse then the original finish on my CD. So much for getting what you paid for.
Revolvers
1. Colt..I think Dwight55 nailed this.
2. S&W
3.Ruger
4.Taurus
5.Rossi
Subcompacts
1. Colt...only because of the one's listed, it's the only brand I've had personal experience with.
2. SA
3. Para
4. Walther
5. Kimber
Again, no personal experience with 2,3, or 4. But I won't place Kimber much above anything.
