I'm getting pretty serious about buying my first pistol in the coming weeks, and instead of posting the usual "which one should I get" and receiving "the one that fits your hand" as the response, what are the warranty service experiences fellow Canadian shooters have had with Glock, Sig, S&W, and HK? This way if it comes to be a toss up between a couple in the shop, I have something else to go on. Best, worst?
Warranty of these manufacturers?

I have had issues with glock warranty, they were very quick to deal with but had nothing good to say ( basically told me that a glock 20 with around 500rds through it was worn out and I was lying about the round count). TSE has had similar instances with bad warranty and they are a dealer that moves large quantities, plus uses them at there range. If the guns were going back to austria for there warranty rather than the US, I think this would be a non issue.

I think you are seriously exagerating here... I think Glock warranty is sketchy at best. Although there are a lot of people who can work on them so unless its a catastrophic failure the pistol is up before long.
However, this is not warranty...
Seriously, no one tops Ruger.I've never once had any occasion to test the warrantee of any firearm manufacturer. Needed an RCBS depriming pin one time and couldn't find any here. Asked them where I could get one. They sent me a whole package in the mail.
The only brand new firearms I've ever bought was my GP100 and the S&W M19 I had. I've never needed to have anything done to either other than the trigger job I did myself. Mind you, neither purchase was recently.
"...S&W 22A-1(out for repair......grrrr!!!!)..." You should have bought a used 41. I'd be camping in the dealer's shop. Four months is far too long for anything but a completely custom firearm.
