Cheap Versions....

IMO, nothing worse than a cheap gun.
I was an instructor & sales rep for 8 years. Ooooh, the stores I could tell about cheap people.
Two of my favorites:
A guy walks in with his wife. I recognized him because he bought a $900.00 gun for himself. He says, "I want to get a gun for my wife." He points to a cheap $75.00 piece of junk & asks, "How's this one?"
I said, "Like most things, you get what you pay for. Even gang members have better guns than that."
He says, "Well....it's for my wife." o_O I fought temptation to say, "Well, you know what your wife is worth."

A guy pulls up to the store in a $95,000.00 car (expensive, back in 1985). He points to that same $75.00 piece of junk & says, "I'd like that one."
I said, "Are you sure?"
He says, "Yeah. What's wrong with it?"
I said, "Nothing....unless you expect it to always function. I also explained that he better not drop it because it has no drop safety like the more-expensive ones & it might fire if dropped. Also, the slide is made of Zinc & might crack after a few rounds. He bought it anyway.
A few weeks later, he showed up in a different car. He said his car was in the shop having extensive repairs. He explained that he was getting out of his car & the gun fell on the pavement & fired. The bullet went through the car door & the dashboard, ruining electronics & wiring & he will pay around $5,800.00 for repairs. I tried not to laugh.
 
A car.

The cheaper they are the flimsier they are. They scratch and dent like foil. There's frequently something wearing out or breaking down in them because they're not made well in the first place. You end up spending more money on repairs than you would have spent if you had purchased a good quality car to begin with.
