Best American Owed, American Made Handguns

[harmonn@att.net]

Looking to buy this weekend if the price is right. My favorite so far is the S&W MP, 9MM. I've also looked at the Ruger SR9C. When demonstrated, th MP appeared to break down a bit easier. I've shot the MP, & liked the feel of the gun. Does anyone have a reasonable preference other than buy a gun that fits in ur hand and feels good? My budget is low, so no Kimber's or Colt's will be an option. However, if u like a certain gun that fits into the subject header category, I would be interested in listening for future purchases.

Thanks in Advance,

Many custom makers.

What are you looking for???

Best guns for the money? Best value?

If so, I'd think it would be a tie between the Ruger 22/45 and the Smith and Wesson 22A. Lots of gun for the money.

Smith & Wesson MP9. Bought one almost a year ago, 2000+ rounds without a single problem. Plus I love the 3 backstraps. I use the large, wife uses the middle on and it fits both our hands perfectly.

Don't discount Kahr. Very well made guns.

What does it matter if it's american made? At the end of the day I want a good gun, the country of origin tells me nothing of its quality or reliability.

Indeed. There are many great foreign-made guns and domestic pieces of crap out there. Buy on quality, features and price, and worry about brand later.

I thought Kahr was owned by Koreans?

I agree. Besides, many good Americans have jobs as a result of the manfacture and sale of "foreign" guns. Go Beretta USA!

I don't think you can go wrong with anything from ruger. IMO they are a lot of gun for the money.

FN's are made here. Personally don't like the feel of them. Heard many good things about the S&W MP's. Over and over the wise men of the forum will tell you to go with FEELS BEST TO YOU. If possible handle them side by side before making the buy. Always wanted a Glock until I compared side by side. Gun shows are the best for this.

After all it is your gun.

Me looking to buy but haven't got to handle many Kahr's or have been able to get a handle on a good price for one. Going to look at some more MP's also.

Thanks to everyone for their reply, greatly appreciated. Can't wait to head to the Tipton County gun show tomorrow. Hope to look at a few guns I have my eye on and get a hands on feel on all of them.

Thanks Again,

Glock!

I heard they will open a factory in the US.

I've had 2 SR9's and one SR9c, and they were all fantastic. They were plenty easy to break down, so if the MP is easier, it must be amazing. I've shot the MP, as well and loved it, too. The Rugers were less money, and fit my hand perfectly, so that was the deciding factor for me. Btw, I've never had any failure of any kind with any of mine. They all eat any ammo put in them. I also liked their narrow width, too.
