Spend a day shooting a Guncrafter Industries or Nighthawk and you'll forget DW exists.

I would disagree there. When it came to actually shooting the gun, my Les Baer was no different than my old Springfield Loaded. The fit and finish on the Baer was far superior, and the gun was an absolute dream to finger ****, but when it came time to actually shoot it, they were the same tool.
Except when the high priced says "Made in China" same as the cheap one. I was looking at the Bowflex Sellectech 552 adjustable dumbbells... Made in China. Saw the cheap ones on eBay for half the price... Made in China. Decided against the style altogether but not because of price. Damn things are WAY long no matter what weight you put on them.
The REAL kicker is when it isn't even a different logo, just imported and marked up.
That's because the only way the cheaper ones will shoot half way reliably is the tolerances are crap. Over time that rattle turns into failure.
WC, NH, EB are meant to be tight but still function like a Glock. Dan Wesson is good but they are not in the same weight class as the big 3.
Although, I do have a RI tactical that I traded into and I shoot all the time with zero issues.
You'll notice a difference after you've rattled 10k through them. I also notice a difference in time back on target and recoil impulse. Shooting the GI is like getting jerked off with every squeeze of the trigger.
No, they expect attention, kinda like the stupid purse.
Had plenty of higher end 1911 that claim to be better.
Nighthawk, Cylinder & Slide, Wilson Combat to name a few...
Absolutely not any better and not worth spending 2 or 3 times the money.
That's definitely part of it..pride in ownership, but unlike a purse, the firearm is also expected to perform at an enhanced level.
Not only subjectively better, but objectively better if you look into the mechanical differences.
