Not to knock SVI but I've seen a few of the product line & it's not that impressive. The frames & parts just seem like a lame excuse for gun shop mgrs or staff to jack up the sale price on a SAO pistol.
With the 2013 gun stampede, many new gun owners & shooters do not really understand or get what quality is. They see high $$$ price tags & think; "hey this MUST be the good stuff,
".
