…I'm not paying $1500, let alone $2500 for an ordinary service class pistol, and while my life is worth a lot to me, those guns are not.

While I’m not arguing with either of you on those points, I think people are misunderstanding my posts and what I’m saying.
My point is if I like my $2,400 gun and shoot it the best… the cost isn’t the reason I’m going to not carry it, in fear of it getting taken in the aftermath of a shooting. I don’t live life like that. And if I lose $2,400 after saving myself and/or others… I’ll reach out to Brett at P7Pro and order another one to replace it. Zero hesitation with that.
I am not saying that a $2,400 pistol is automatically better than a $500 pistol. Me, personally, if I do buy a $2,400 pistol… I’m going to make sure it is worth the money to me. My original reason for getting the P7M8 was strictly due to ties with NJSP… but after shooting it, I was impressed in how well it shoots (accuracy, recoil, ease of use). Another good example, I didn’t buy a Flux Legion… but built my own Raider from a FCU (which I Formed 1). While some people get their jollies off with the Legion line… I feel it is a little too wannabe warrior for me. None of that line really checks off all the boxes that I’d want.
Now, the topic is about handguns that impressed us. While some people might have different opinions, to me, the P7M8 is a prime example of that. And I felt strongly enough on it that I started to write the post prior to the addition of the price and role limit… but included it was above the cost requirement as I noticed it changed by the time I got around to finishing my post. Not my fault that Glocks, SIGs or even my HK P2000 (copy of my old duty gun) don’t really impress me. So if OP only wants to hear that from me… sorry, but not sorry.
