I'd have to go along the lines with what
said. It all depends on "
what you're looking for" in a pistol. You think you found what you want in a WC but then discover that STI offers basically the same thing for a fraction of the cost. Generally, you are going to get better parts, more hand fitting and over all greater gun with the more you spend.
Hell, why do you think Porsche Panamera cost 7 or 8x what a Toyota Corolla costs? Both have 4 doors, an engine and will get you from point a to b, right?
hates this analogy, cause he drives a Corolla..... sorry bud.
Take for instance, why did I choose to order from Les Baer recently. Well because nobody else offered a 1911 with a full length dust cover, aside from LB and STI. I could of saved a ton of money ordering from STI, but I didn't like their trigger guard nor their cocking serrations on the slide. That's why LB got my business.
