Maybe, considering the handwork and engraving. And of course the difference in labor costs and overhead plays an important part too. But anyone who says "Anerican's can't" should look at Ruger's line of shotguns. May not be as fancy, but rock solid where it counts. The No. 1 rifle dosen't normally come with engraving, but it does everything it's supposed to.
I have nothing against Smith & Wesson, and I hope their new venture goes well. I have no doubt that they'll (the guns) be everything you say. Handgun locks aren't, or shouldn't be an issue.
But I'll still... Buy American.
The doubles can not, repeat, can not, be made in the U.S. In the numbers they anticipate, for the price these will come in at, there is no U.S. plant with workers able to make these guns. Period. Parade rest.
