brand loyalty

Ginsu. When unavailable due to reputation and customer demand, I go with Ronco.

I would say Ruger. I have sent many guns in for repair after only a few hundred rounds, but I have never sent in a Ruger. I have 6 Rugers right now with thousands of rounds through them with no problems. I have owned Rugers in the past that I sold that had no problems. Could be a run of luck, but I will stick with the brand.

I'll second that. I've owned only two Rugers and I still have them. One is a tang safety .270 I bought new in 1974 and it's beyond accurate, and the other is a "Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty" 6 1/2" barrel Standard .22 pistol.

Anyone who buys a specific brand because it is that brand will soon find out the reality that every company makes lemons from time to time.

Zippo

+1 For the Zippo, I ordered one for my dad to commerorate his service in Vietnam, it was the POW/MIA tribute one. I gave it to him on his birthday August 31 of last year and he passed away December 4th, I kick myself for not giving it to him earlier. He loved that thing!

VP-70. Crappy crappy trigger.

Although as an HK fan I'd buy one for it's historic value as the first polymer pistol, designed in 1968-69 and released in 1970, beating the Glock 17 to market by twelve years.

Im not so much a brand loyalist as a brand hater there are brands I have had bad experience with customer service wise and I will never b from them again Olympic arms is one.

Yeah, "reverse loyalty" is a lot stronger drive for most people.
As far as being called a moron - I get that a lot. Especially on the 'Net.

With Guns it's fairly easy to do so. With all the import restrictions, a good many of the firearms are made here, even if the company is foreign.

 

[buick455]

poly guns = H&K

all metal guns = SIG

wheel guns = Ruger

newer cars = Nissan

old cars = GM A-bodys (GTO and Buick GS)

bikes = Yamaha

scotch = Glenmorangie

I think everyone has brands that they like but some seem to defend them like they own the company
