There Is No Better 45, Than a Ruger P Series 45

Does adding unnecessary parts, excessive devices to disable the firearm, and needlessly complicated Rube Goldberg lockwork make a gun that costs more to produce better? If a Raven .25 cost more to produce than a G19, does that make it a better choice?

Dude, I don't think you understood the point of my post. It was not to boast about Glock superiority (I don't even own a Glock), but to respond to Walt that Glock was NOT losing any money selling to LEO/military at discounts.

Simple fact: the S&W Gen 3's and other all-metal pistols cost more to make than Glocks on a unit basis. Therefore non-polymer pistols were put at a disadvantage when the Glock came out and it was able to be produced so cheaply and still meet design criteria.

Oh yeah, when your product costs $50 and you sell it for $550, that leaves a heck of a lot of room for discounts and for the marketing arm.

I will stick with my P220Sig or a 1911.
