Just wondering.
I think theres definitely some dependency on the initial price point. The Baikal Makarov pistols are extremely well made using a large percentage of "real" parts and seem pretty indestructable. Whereas cheaper pistols that are comprised of a lot of di-cast parts will definitley fail in time. My Walther CP99 from years ago has done pretty well all things considered but it is getting tired these days.
