The article wasn't about the top 10 competition handguns. It was the top 10 handguns sold.

And they're just referencing movies to help the kind of idiots who read their rag grasp what they are talking about.

Not to hijack the thread, but the images taken from movies illustrates our 'gun violence' culture is more a product of Hollywood than a product of gun manufactures.

The most prolific makes of handguns manufactured in the U.S., based on production statistics provided to ATF.

Ruger has been busy!

Speaking of High Points I was walking around cabelas the other day and overheard the gun salesman telling a customer what a great gun high point were and that they deserved much more credit.

"...over half of which were 9mm."

I'm just waiting for the next libtard to tell us about how 9mm is the round of choice for baby-killing, right wing, mass-shooting, political extremists.

<sigh> The reading comprehension in this thread is about on par with the average PuffingtonHost reader. The article is talking about the top guns produced in America. Period, end of story, yet someone disbelieves the story because of the number disparity between Rugers and Glocks and another person disbelieves it because of his experience in 3-gun competition. Guess what, 3-gun competers are a fractional minority of all gun owners ... REAL fractional.

There are a LOT of people who buy Jennings and Hi-Points because they want a cheap handgun (and that's exactly what they get). You can laugh at them all you want but the manufacturers are reporting their production statistics to the ATF and I doubt too many of them want to produce 100,000 more guns than they can sell every year.

FWIW, while I hate the fact the Washington Times is owned by the Moonies, the fact of the matter is that they have fewer factual errors than the Washington Post or New York Times (they also have a much thinner paper so less chance to get things wrong but the point holds). I also hate their proclivity for publishing classified info but they view it as blowing the whistle on stuff that shouldn't be classified like Tyson's sweetheart deal when Clinton's trade negotiator was in talks with a then-underdog Russia. IMO, it's a better paper than either of those "giants of journalism" despite its ownership; it has its biases but is more objective than either of those two no matter what Ridge has to say about "rags".
