I've owned different brands over the year's....Ruger, Sig, S & W, Colt, Glock, and Dan Wesson. Through experience and necessity.....I'm now the proud owner of 5 Sigs...P229 SAS, P239 SAS, P229 Legion, MK25, and my trusty old P229 Classic...and my EDC is my S & W Shield 9mm. These two brand's (Sig and S & W) have never failed me....so, I'm a loyal fan....

With handguns there's only one model size I loyally adhere to: compact Glock. Beyond that I'm all over the place though there are models and brands I favor. With pump shotguns I stick with Mossberg. Semi-auto shotguns, it's whatever. Rifles...all over the place.

No loyalty here, I'm in with what works.

From club to firearm, whatever it is, must be accurate and reliable.

Sigs and HK. Never warmed up to Beretta. Took a liking to 1911s when they became “modernized” with beaver tails, extended controls, etc and ended up with too many 1911s from S&W Performance Center.

No brand loyalty, though there are several brands I own more of than others. But the "brand" had little to do with it.

At one time my goal was to own one of each.

Now it's one of each at one time or another.

Huge Glock fanboy here.

But love the Beretta 92 series. Own or have owned Rugers, Springfields, Sigs, Glocks, Berettas, HK, S&W, Kahr, etc.

Been consolidating lately, Glocks, Beretta. One HK. Most of my Sigs are gone.

I’m all over the place. I do have multiples of things I like. A few HK P7’s, 5 glock 19’s, Smith wheel Guns, a few Sigs, a couple of Tanfoglios, a couple Beretta 92’s, a few different 1911’s, a few Ruger pistols, a few Walther pistols, then some odd ball stuff like a double tap defense 9mm, NAA minis, a few different surplus guns, etc...

Variety is the spice of life

I have a little of everything:
1 Glock
2 Sigs
1 Kahr
1 HK
2 Rugers
1 walther ppk (interarms version)
1 Colt

Not really loyal to a brand. Seem to stick with what works. Buy another if the price is good enough or trade well enough.

Will shop for anything that is reliable and has good customer service. That means it will not be an STI.

No loyalty to a brand here. But I very much enjoy shooting:

German SIGs, especially Mastershop pieces
CZs with upgrades
Browning shotguns
Older pre-lock Smith revolvers and .22 auto pistols
Ruger .22 pistols

No brand loyalty, and in fact I carry a brand I've disliked and rejected for a lot of years; at the moment I'm carrying a Glock. I never cared for them, made fun of them, blew them off. I've carried revolvers, the 1911, the Sig P239, the HK45C, a HKP2000SK, and a few others at times. I ended up with a Glock; single, repeatable trigger pull, conventional controls, no manual safety, and reliable. It checked all the boxes.

Meanwhile I own a number of Sigs, Berettas, HK's, S&W's, Rugers, Brownings, and so on. Just bought a S&W M&P 2.0, and a Colt. It's next to a Steyr. Even some North American, and the paperweight Keltec. I own several Dan Wessons, and even some kimber, a few Taurus, and once upon a time, a charter arms. Most of what's hitting the market today is excellent in terms of reliability, ergonomics, etc.

I like single action revolvers, and for those I do prefer Ruger.

I am not brand loyal to anyone. I may have my favorites but there are so many well built guns out there, it would limit my fun! Same goes with cars, I am not a Ford, Chevy, or whatever man. I go with what I like at the moment.

I used to have 2 S&W revolvers and about 7 Classic P-Series Sigs. Now it’s the 2 Smiths, 5 Glocks and a P290RS.

OK..so I know a lot of shooters who stick to one platform. I mostly stick to the Glocks and 1911's, but have a couple of outliers. One is a S&W Shield that I carry off duty, the other is a S&W 642 I carry as a backup/ankle gun. I tend to try a lot of different guns, but tend to come back to the same Glocks and 1911's...

What say you...are you a purist, and stick to a specific make/system, or do you have a bit of whatever...

Last time I checked, 1911's were not a brand. :-)

I have 4 1911's, from various makers/brands.

No loyalty. But I do stick to SIG, S&W, and HK.
