A brand new Browning Hi Power Mk III, blue, runs about $1,000.
"Made in Belgium, Assembled in Portugal" is rolled on the slide.
Why is it $1,000 when a S&W M&P runs about $550 and is lighter and holds more shots?
It's all finish and labor.
It's also why it's not completely made in Belgium, Portuguese labor is cheaper. Even so, there's a lot of cost involved in the finishing.
The M&P, being a much newer design, is made without much fitting or finishing needed with human involvement stripped to the bare necessities.
I'd think this was obvious, common, knowledge; but some people genuinely don't know it. They agree it makes sense once you explain it, of course.
