Ruger, Especially Revolvers-Innovative (Ruger LCR), consistent quality, durable, reliable, variety (hunting to CC), Customer Service, fairly priced. Followed closely for same reasons, Kahr Arms, semi-autos, except for hunting. Take care!
Now I'm new to the forum and cc part of handguns, however I like springfields of all flavors, mostly because that is what my dad and I always shot I have xds in the usual calibers real close to 3500 rounds and never a problem
