ArchAngel -
I was making a (lame) attempt at some humor. But it's not really that I missed your point. Obviously, a cheap gun, made to poor tolerances, with poor timing, etc. will not shoot well. I agree, that Freedom Arms comes pretty close to what I consider the upper end of precision that we can get from modern tooling and all. Although I was joking, I have wondered what could be accomplished if we could get down to the molecular level when it comes to metal working and finishing. Of course, it's one of those exercises in thought that is beyond any kind of realistic possibility. That being said, I think that more money does not buy more product, necessarily. If a product does not sell, there will be no product produced, and we are limited to the materials and tools that we have. When it comes to a precision built revolver, I think FA is right up there, and they cost less than a Korth. So much so that they are often a bit finicky when it comes to function - which relate more to the limitations of the entire concept and mechanics of a revolver than the quality of build.
