[QUOTE="SoonerTactical, post: 909915, member: 6999"] Some of the difference of the cost between cheaper and more expensive are things like dealer give-aways, advertising, etc, as would be expected. But... Their level of customer service when something does go wrong. Remember that when you purchase a product, any product, their engineers have taken the time to evaluate how many components and what type of components will fail and the cost to repair is spread across everyone who purchases either that model or all models from that manufacturer. There is also the amount of liability insurance and legal resources at their disposal, in case something slips past the engineers, manufacturing, or their quality control team. With a name like Glock or S&W or HK or Ruger, their livelihood as weapons manufacturers is dependent upon producing and selling quality units. That doesn't always mean that they do, but they also have a huge target on their company if someone gets hurt with their weapons because you know people are abusing them to see if they can get hurt and try to sue them. :) [/QUOTE]
