I agree. A pistol has to be pushing north of a grand before price starts to become a consideration.
Having said that...for a grand - give or take $100 - I can have two Glocks. If someone offered to buy me one of any pistol under $1000, I would still ask for a G17 or 19 and leave $500 on the table.
I only take one pair of gloves with me to the range and I don't actually wear them while shooting. They are welder gloves for removing a hot suppressor.
I have a pair of the PIG gloves prior to the alpha touch models. They are excellent. The alpha models give touch screen ability for those that like to use their iPhones, etc. without having to remove the glove.
The fit is very nice and there is no "bunching" around the fingers.

You have to be a real tightwad to ask for a burrito in a bowl, then two free tortillas.
Sounds like some of the folks that offered me trades on TOS:
"I see your Arsenal AK...how about I trade you a Springfield XD .40 (Service), two cartoons of eggs, and the Glock holster I won at the last...
Quiet is all relative.
MPX, Scorpion, AR(9mm), Uzi, MP5, MPA, etc. are all going to be really quiet relative to rifle cartridges suppressed (using 147 gr .subsonic).
What are you looking to do with this? Target shooting, range toy, etc.
have had three of them...no bad experiences.
one version of their lower can use a set screw to retain the rear take down detent and spring...for those that switch their stock out every other week. (ok, i'm guilty as charged)
