Some "high dollar" guns are not only "better" than "reasonably priced" guns they are much better. By leaps and bounds.

For example I'll put my Springfield Trophy Match up against any other production (non custom) pistol in the market. Don't act like that Taurus 1911 you saw at the gunshop last week is even close to the Trophy Match in terms of quality. (untill you have fired them side by side like I have you may never know the "real" diffrence)

Even with the same company there is a diffrence. The Mil Spec or GI models from Springfield are not the same in terms of quality as the Trophy Match/TRP models. This dosen't mean that the Mil Spec is a bad gun but acting like the two are the same in quality is just plain wrong.

There is a diffrence between guns that are put together on an assembly line and guns that are fit by hand. (the trophy match being the latter)
