And, let's not forget that S&W pays Jerry Miculek a fortune to say, "This revolver is from the Smith & Wesson Performance Center" while demonstrating it in videos. Like we're gullible enough to believe the gun's performance has nothing to do with the extra customizing on that particular gun or Jerry's shooting skills.
I have a PC JM signature 929 that is a year old. I bought it intending to use it for competition. Before I put even 1 round through it I took it to a pistol smith to go over it and make some changes. Some of the changes included having the trigger lightened (14.5 pounds out of the box), action worked, charge holes chamfered, ball detent on the crane when open, trued the cylinder and so forth. This added over $400.00 to the cost of the gun plus I added a few other things to bring the cost over $2K.
Great shooting gun but the PC in my opinion is not any better than the standard (I have a newish 686 to compare it to). I shoot this gun a lot, it is way better than my skills warrant.
