Bill-in-Texas's thread about his pristine Llama got me thinking. I own handguns from 12 different manufacturers. The majority are S&W, as it should be but I also have:
Ruger, HK, Sig, Iver Johnson, Pietta, Star, Rock Island, Standard Manufacturing, Walther, Glock and Uberti. Who else has a broad selection of manufacturers to choose from?

You're ahead so far.:)

By the way, folks. You don't have to list the makes if you don't want to. A simple number would do. We trust ya.:)
 
10 for pistols, if you count my XP-100 and H-S Precision hand rifles.

BTW, 7 of the 10 are one each. Ruger is only two (Mark II Target and .44 Mag NMSB). All the rest are from Springfield or Hartford.

For traditionally American makers (regardless of corporate ownership):

S&W, Colt, Remington, Savage, H&R, Hopkins & Allen, Iver Johnson.

For foreign makers:

Walther, Mauser, DWM, FN, Manurhin, Webley&Scott, RSAF Enfield, Arizmendi y Goenaga

That‘s what‘s currently left. Looking back at what I have owned over the last 45 years, that‘s too much typing ;)

Hmmm …

So, that’s currently standing at 18 manufacturers.
