The TISA finish is one reason they are cheaper, but they are cheaper.

The IFG/Tanfogolios models typically are less expensive than comparable models by CZ, while they are very similar but different. Tanfogolios have some of the better featured guns while also being the cheapest (10mm for example).

The P series Sigs with factory STR probably have the best triggers of any normal priced gun. I haven't felt a trigger that resets faster than my stock Sig P226 Elite.

The CZ P10 does appear to have photos of a new frame coming, so the discount now is probably due to the model needing to be blown out of inventory.

Almost all "great" handguns fall in the 500 dollar range.

I would argue that Rough Rider is a better gun than the Ruger Wrangler. You can buy it with a WMR cylinder. And then you can buy another.

However, the Canik series and now unfortunately Tri-Star/Canik metal CZ rip off line have some of the better values. For example, I would think a Canik Walther rip off TP9SF would be a more enjoyable single action striker fire than say the S&W SVDE line.

Point is, they are all "bargains." However, there only a few that are just terrible.

I think any handgun from Diamondback is 100% do not buy.
I think there are some big questionable buys on the Taurus line.
I think there are cautions on the Turkey multiple manufacture lines
