Exactly.

I've owned a few guns in recent years that i bought because of marketing & biased gun reviews. But the novelty of a new gun wears off quick when it jams up all the time.

There are plenty of tried & true firearms out there that have been produced for decades that IMO supersede any innovations made recently.

Shotguns: nothing beats Remington 870 or Mossberg 500
Single bolt rifle: Remington 700 all day
1911s: Colt & Springfield
Semi rifles: Have an AR-15 built from ground up that's made with decent parts

Bottom line is that a gun has to go boom whenever you squeeze the trigger out of the box with off the shelf ammo for me to be a fan. But there are plenty of cleverly marketed guns out there that fail this basic criteria ...but they look cool!

Remington 870 is a tried and true gun. Many copies of the AR 15 are outstanding. Remington 700 is outstanding but all that talk about the trigger problems are scary. Massive law suits about that. Colt and Springfield are safe bets in 1911's.

I have a Colt 1911 GI model.
Love that firearm.

As far as someone saying Kimber is junk, the few I've fired have been exceptional.
The USMC has gone to Kimber 1911's for their Force Recon and MARSOC teams.

Have you ever read a bad review from a major gun magazine writer? I haven't.  Pick up any gun magazine and read what they have to say about any gun. Always fantastic reviews.  I have sold many guns because I brought them on glowing reviews to find out they are junk. I only give opinions on guns I have shot or owned.

that is why i pick that review. It isnt a major gun mag.

I'd go with the sig personally. I can vouch for the trigger on a ruger also as I have a sr22. This is the first ruger pistol I've owned and I have no complaints besides the trigger.

I like the Smith and Wesson model 36, small and very easy to handle. I have seen some women not gel to well with automatics, the revolver makes things a lot less complicated for them. Thats important because women are half retarded to start with.

Quote of year!....and very true. very small revolver for the wife.

Kimber 1911

Great feedback! 
I ended up getting a sweet deal on a new Kahr cw9.  The wife is comfortable with autos...she also has a Glock23...but it's too large for CCW.  She likes the size and feel of the Kahr as do I.  I threw in an extra 10oz silver bar to the seller and got a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Special DAO in the package for myself!  I'm pumped to fire that hand cannon.

One stop got both of our CCWs.  Will take them out to the range tomorrow.

Kimber isn't junk...it's not as good as of the past few years.

New models have feeding & ejecting issues.

With a little gun smithing they can be made flawless.

My point is there are many models of firearms that are decades old that out if the box will go boom with every trigger pull with off the shelf ammo. The firearms market is like any other Where fads happen & it seems like marketing takes place of quality & reliability. This can be seen with the new " zombie " branding on all firearms & "tacti-cool" fads.

Don't fall into fads & go with the proven brands/models!

When you are 6'6 and 350 lbs with abs, the Desert Eagle becomes a sub-compact.
