      Gun Makers you hate?

      Almost everyone has a brand of gun they hate. I don't like Glocks. I know they work well but I just don't like them. Many here hate Taurus, Ruger, Sig or even Smith and Wesson. Which gun maker do you hate?

      I have noticed many Californians seem to be more brand name consciences. If it is not blah blah blah it is junk. I see this often and I find it annoying. I own big name guns and inexpensive ones. I have favorites in both categories.

        Not a huge fan of anything but bolt guns from Ruger.
        Taurus just seems to offer copies of popular guns and some of their own, never really liked them.
        Sig, never liked any of their hand guns but the mosquito. I know they are popular but they don't fit my taste.

        Cant say I HATE any of the above though.

        I do hate Hi-point.
        I do hate Hesse, Vulcan, Blackthorne.

        I'll think of some more and come back later...

          Although I'm not a Taurus fan, I voted Ruger.

          Not because of their firearms; although many are homely I think they're well built.. but I dislike Bill Rugers comments such as :

          "no honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun…" and "I never meant for simple civilians to have my 20 and 30 round magazines…".
          "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
          "What we get away with isn't usually the same as what's good for us"
          "An extended slide stop is the second most useless part you can put on a 1911"

          "While Ruger DA revolvers may be built like a tank, they have the aesthetics of one also,
          although I suppose there are a few tanks which I owe an apology to for that remark"

            Hold on, is this about guns that you just can't get comfortable with or actual beef with something the maker did (like when SiG USA pulled that we are only giving you 1 mag with the gun thing)?
            Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

              State how you feel. Weather it is the feel of the gun or the politics of the maker. For those of you that feel it is unfair, defend the companies. Just keep it sane and civil. I am just looking for a good discussion and I am trying to understand some of the negativity towards various manufactures.

              If you don't like the feel of the guns state why.

                Can't really say with any conviction I truly like any manufacturer. They all have things I dislike about them.

                  I'm not a die hard fan of any particular maker, they all have items I like and dislike.
                  I think it can be confirmed that an alien xenomorph is absolutely no match for good ole' Alabama black snake!

                  and

                  If you're in a survival movie and the hot blond twists her ankle and can't walk, you damn well figure a way to carry her. If it's a dude, you shake his hand and say "best of luck".

                    Honestly, the only gun maker I heavily dislike at the moment would be SIG Sauer. Their business practices are driving the name right down the toilet. I love SIGs so it pains me to see the direction they're heading towards.

                    Then there are the brands I will not own: Para Ordnance, Vulcan, Hesse, and Hi-Point.

                          Clint at Fulton sold Wes at 10% a batch of receivers and then pulled shenanigans mid-shipment and threatened him with legal action if he accepted the shipment. This was back in 2005, things were a bit different.

                              He actually told Wes that if Wes did not refuse the shipment (that he already paid for) or return it immediately, Clint would report them as stolen to the DOJ.

                              That kind of dishonesty is unforgiveable.
