Yes, agreed. However I think there are some well made cheapos out there.
Kel-Tec for example seems to be affordable, and reliable.

At least my experience with them has been.

In other news, Saturday I got to hold and inspect a WWI Army Issued Colt .45 .
It was my Great Uncle's Father (my great grandpa). It was issued to him and he
carried it in WWI. I believe they were in service between 1898 and 1940
probably when new style was issued for WWII. Anyways, it is in EXCELLENT
condition, heavy as hell, and big. I can't imagine carrying it.

He also had a LLama Arms .380 Micromax, which is a replica of a 1911 model
pistol. I was amazed at how well built and comfortable this spanish firearm is.
They went belly up in 2000 but still fetch 300+ used.

I love coming across new things and unexpected charms in the firearms world.


Thanks,
Zombie Mambo
