[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 16356807, member: 190070"] I own several of each as well as from all the other semi custom makers The build quality of all of the big five (EB, WC, NHC, GCI, LB) is comparable. There are some differences in build philosophy but they are all very very good. WC is much more understated than NHC. The latter has many more models, some of which are fairly flashy. WC is much more conservative in their design. Also keep in mind that WC will only allow you to customize within reason. For instance, IIRC they will only do 25 LPI or fiber on the front strap. Wand 15 LPI? Too bad. Also the whole "bulletproof" upgrade really chaps my ass. The base model CQB do not have this and you need to pay another $500 to get rid of all the MIM parts. Pure bullshit. If you are into plain design w/ no FCS and do not want the side of your slide to look like a billboard keep GCI in mind. I have a couple No Names and the build quality is on par with a master grade WC for $1500 less. I like Dan Wesson (but not STI) but would say anyone that thinks either are in same category as WC probably does not have experience with WC. For the price they may be a good value but the quality simply is not comparable. Not even close in case of STI IMO. [/QUOTE]
