In America, the foremost means of committing suicide (arguably) is with guns -- mostly handguns.
Men choose this method quite frequently; women somewhat less so, preferring poisons.
Exact numbers are hard to obtain, for quite a few reasons. For example, it's often easier on the survivors if the event can be called an accident instead of an acutal suicide, so reporting is less than spot on.

Are men or women more likely to commit suicide?
Suicidal tendencies actually have very little to do with gender. Our suicidal tendencies are actually culturally developed. In the western world for example, men are more likely to commit suicide because they are led to be independent and usually have access to the tools to do so (guns, construction equipment, etc). Women on the other hand usually have a group of support and rarely have access to the tools. In the middle-east, suicide rates are highest amongst women. This is usually due to the fact that women are oppressed and forced to live a life they don't want. They see suicide as their only means of escape. In Asia, both men and women are equally likely to commit suicide. Asians are very hard working and have very little periods of rest, which leads to mental exhaustion, depression then suicide. So the answer to your question depends massively on the country or culture that you are referring to.
