It's just a pistol. The prices mentioned are stupid. If I'm going to drop $4k on a gun, it had better shoot sub-MOA at 1,000 yards or do something really, really spiffy up close.

For me, the point of diminishing returns in the 1911 market is right around the $1,500 mark (give or take a little). But for some people it's not about diminishing returns and maximizing value. It's about the best of the best, and I'm glad there is a market to support makers who want to build the best with no compromises.
revolver was $1425. Semiauto is $1350. Rifle is $1650. I beat the hell out of myself on those purchases. I don't regret them now though.
