You know what? If you can spend the money without causing difficulties for you and your family on real needs [food/shelter/clothing/medicine], why NOT get what floats your boat?
that is what our system is based on- the idea that you can have your own dream, and then pursue it.
I have a couple of higher-end handguns, but I bought 1 at a GREAT price [about 1/3 market value] and the other I built up into a higher-end handgun. I'd say my Caspian/Caspian 1911 is probably about the quality/refinement/fit level of a good $1900 1911, or higher due to finish/stocks.
What do you think?
Now, for the handguns that cost over that- I REALLY like them.
Yet, for my tastes, budget and intended use, I'd rather have 3 or 4 really neat handguns that cost between 500 and 800, than one awesome handgun that cost $3200 or so.
I am not putting down anyone's choices- just sharing my preferences.
Get whatever high-end handgun
you want- it is
your life and your money!!!!
Just take pics and share how cool it is so I can consider being jealous.
