Most popular firearms?
« on: July 22, 2011, 08:39:27 AM »
Very soon I'm going to be opening a firearms shop and I'd be curious to know what you all think are the most popular firearms. I'd like to start by stocking the most common and popular firearms. So shoot away and let me know!  ;D

Firearms related items too!

Now most gun shops are a bit snobbish but remember: everybody starts somewhere and even poor people deserve the right to protect themselves so think about carrying some Hi-points. My experience with them is they are good inexpensive [not cheap - there's a difference] guns made right here in the USA. Hell,  I had a issue with a 19 yr. old 9mm {$89 in 1992} [JS-9 my 1st pistol] & they sent me a new one! That's good customer service. Now to add insult to injury this pistol regularly out shoots my 2nd pistol [Glock 17] {$449 in 1992} maybe it's the fixed barrel design or the dampened recoil due to the heavy slide but they run! They '45 & 40' cals seem to get the best reviews.

Good to hear Sir. I'm going to get a JHP [maybe two] in the near future.

I am no expert, by any means, but I would say the above list is solid.  IMHO, I would say specifically:

Hipoints (for reasons already listed in this thread)
9mm and .40 cal would be my focus for many of the listed companies.

Some specific guns I have heard sell well:

Glock 17
Glock 19
Glock 26
Glock 22
Glock 23
Glock 27
Glock 21
S&W M&P9
S&W M&P40
S&W SD9
S&W SD40
S&W J-frames
Ruger LCP
Ruger LCR
Ruger SR9c
Ruger SR40c (just released - I am guessing this will be as popular as the SR9c)
Keltec PF9
Keltec P3AT
Colt 1911 (I'm guessing you could spend thousands putting various 1911s in your shop, but Colt's is one of the most popular)

These are just a few off the top of my head - again, I'm no expert

This forum has a for sale section. I'd recommend you post it there [you won't get the low ballers like on MGO]. If you can't [non member?] I'll post it for you, if you need help. I assume you are a good guy, because I know your uncle, and figure you to be a straight shooter also.

I could not find the for sale section in the forums. If you could post it that would be great! I'm looking for $400. It is the Ruger P90th .45 stainless. It was a Davidsons exclusive with hogue grip. Also comes with a Dan Ragan holster. 200 rounds through w/ no problems. Can contact me at armedcitizen@live.com

Thanx!

I think it is a rather subjective question...I would first attempt to analyze your potential customer base. 
However, my list is below.

Glock
S&W (M&P's)
Did I mention Glock
Keltec
Ruger (LCP380)
Glock
Springfield XD models
HiPoint (Junk, but you'll move'm)
Colt & Kimbers if you'll attract money folk.
Uh....how about some Glocks.
Bersa -- (380 model)
S&W Revolvers
Sccy (Skyy) (Newer company -- has a copy of the P-11)
Taurus
Don't forget the glocks -- and have the ability to sell the LE models...

Do you even own a Hi-Point? I own too many guns to list including MANY glocks. While a hi-point will never be a glock I would match a Hi-point up against many [Keltec / bersa "owned or shot both"] in your list as being just as, if not more accurate and durable - the P11 is only rated for 6.000 rounds for it's life cycle & does not handle +P ammo well ??? This is just one example. I KNOW my P11 couldn't handle having hot loads & bore obstructions applied to it like the Hi-Point has. The biggest issue with Hi-Points are the mags. Once you learn how to adjust the feed lips they usually run flawlessly. Also The JHP (45 acp) will accept 15 rd. single stack mags with a very minor "tweaK" giving you more fire power in a 45 (15+1=16) then most 45 owners have ever dreamed of.
