What brand of firearm have you bought more than any other?

Colt wheels and Heckler and Koch black rifles at the moment.

But, probably owned more FN style rifles than any others, FALs.
Maybe Winchester style lever actions.
Quite a few Mausers over the years.
 
Id be most interested to see not only whats the most purchased.. but also from your revolving stable of firearms, what is the brand that you've sold off?
For me out of everything I've purchased i have sold off more of my sigs than anything else. The massive height (or perceived height) of the reciprocating slide such as that on the 226 has always been a killer.. i thought the p320 was going to be a keeper and I found myself getting rid of a few flavors of those as well.
 
Current is two of same makers. Ar rifles 2 aero lowers other 2 are armalite and colt

Handgun current 2 caniks a full sized and a micro compact. I did have 2 glocks at one time a 20 I use for camping and a 43 I had for ccw but sold the 43 for the Canik mc9.

Rest of safe colt,sig bolt action,heritage,ruger all I can think of for now.
 
Ruger. Our reference collection includes many from over the years, and a number of distributor exclusives. That doesn’t mean we think they are the best, it’s simply our statistics.
Next likely would be Smith & Wesson products, with the bulk of those being revolvers.
After that, it goes into various sub categories depending on use of design, etc.
 
Hi all. Just thought this might be a fun topic. What brand of firearm have you bought more than any other, whether on purpose or by accident?

For me it's Ruger and definitely by accident. 😄 I didn't plan it out that way. They just make stuff I like. I currently have 2 (MkIV 22/45 and a 1980 Blackhawk) and I've owned 4 others in the past that I sold for various reasons. I keep coming back to 'em though.
#1 is Anderson for their lowers. Close second is Springfield. Xd9, xd9 subcompact and the Springfield echelon
 
It depends on how we define “brand.” I guess if we treat it as a trade name appearing on the firearm, it’d be Mauser. If we go by the firm which designed the firearm, same. If we go by manufacturer, that would change it: #1 would be the US Government, followed closely by the Ludwig Loewe company (not including DWM). If we treat Loewe and DWM as the same brand, that puts it in the #1 slot. If it’s limited to firearms marketed to the public (for which brand identity matters most), Smith and Wesson, no matter how “brand” is defined.

I sold off my Springfields. I didn’t plan it, I just didn’t like them and wasn’t shooting them. I honestly would have kept them just to keep them but my buddies were bugging me for them and they got a hell of a deal from me.
 
I would have to check current numbers as these pictures haven't been updated in a couple years but for me it's S&W, CZ and Sig.
