If you can’t understand how you would benefit from this or what you are getting out of this discussion, makes me think that there is not point to even talk about it.

Ruger was used just for comparison, demonstrating that you can produce high quality competition pistol for under $!000.

Now one may say Pardini has better trigger, ok if we add mechanical trigger it would only cost extra $300 also add Grip for $200. If we are talking about what it takes to make precisio...

Pardini SP and some others are really overpriced!!!
