Ive had extensive discussion with Mr. Jardine on the Valtro, that would be my pick.
A few items i felt noteworthy-
Forged 4140 NM frame/slide
Machined AFTER heat treat
All carbon steel foged parts, NO MIM etc..
Bo Mar Style sight that is "beefed up" a bit
Guaranteed sub 3" @ 50 yds
Completely hand fit and final inspection by a real pistolsmith.
There is not a question for me, the Valtro would be my first choice of ANY semi custom out there now.
