That’s why I said in terms of popularity, if that was any gauge.
I’d actually say Ruger might be next because they sell quite a few guns. Springfield doesn’t quite have Ruger’s sales volumes.
Springfield, Ruger, Glock - just three out of a lot of good, leading arms companies.
I’m slightly surprised by this. When I bought my first gun store weapon, dealer told me to stay away from Ruger in the semi models. Said they were good revolvers.
Ended up with a Kimber. Loved the XD though. Also got a Springfield WWII 1911 replica. Smoothest firing weapon I’ve ever fired.
