I don't know, some people are strange. Back when I was a PFC in the Army my two room mates had Rolex watches, which believe me is a statistical anomaly, I had a G-Shock. Both would admit they did not keep great time and both had had to have them repaired at great expense. I just did not get it, it they break a lot and don't keep time how is that a quality watch. That is not quality its bling.
I tend to think HK and Sigs are way over priced. Sigs made in the US are way way over priced. But I think hand guns are tools, nothing more, nothing less. Brutal solutions to brutal problems. Elegance need not apply. It needs to be reliable, durable and be more accurate than me. After that its all just features. Pretty is not quality, its simply pretty.
Like it or not, Glock plus or minus $50 tends to be the price point for diminishing returns in my mind. Because like it or not Glock is a standard.
