When it comes down to trusting my life with a single weapon ... or a loved ones life, like my wife or sons life, I wouldn't ever consider the $710 I paid for this handgun as being "too pricey". But hey, that's just me.
I think my comment might have not come across correctly. When I said "pricey" I didn't mean "too pricey." I just meant that they aren't cheap, but since you are trusting your life to the gun, it's NOT "too pricey."
Sorry for any confusion...
