The whole argument about who makes the best gun is misguided. Just about every manufacturer has the ability to produce a great gun just as every one of them can produce a lemon. When shopping for a gun, find one that feels good and fits you well, that meets the parameters you are shopping for. Do some research to see if people that own them like them and also check the ratings for their warranty service. Every manufacturer can build a bad gun and part of the quality of a gun is the quality of the people that will service the warranty.

When shopping for a gun, beware of fanboys. They exist for every manufacturer and are simply the folks that do not have an open mind about their guns. Fortunately, they are easy to identify in that they speak in absolutes. The words 'only', 'never' or 'always' are their favorites. They cannot be trusted to provide quality feedback. They will rationalize failure and over sell their guns good points. There is nothing really wrong with them and it's great to see someone into a product to that degree, but just don't trust them for objective feedback.

As HnK said, find a gun that works for you and do whatever you need to do to make it work well. For most guns, that simply means running a couple of hundred rounds through it to break it in and learn how it shoots. Then, practice, practice practice. These are tools that if learned well, can save your life of that of someone you care about. If not taken seriously, they can cost you your life or cause you to take an innocent life.

Once you have found the tool that works for you and once you have mastered it, carry it everywhere, every day. At that point, you've become part of the answer to fixing what ails this country.
