Define "Perfection". Are we talking craftsmanship, or reliability, or lethalness, or what?
My old sixties Model 12 Winchester 12 Guage is a fine crafted shot gun. My XD .45 is a fine self defense weapon. My Glock 17 is a fine weapon as well. But as far as sheer art in craftmanship my Bond Arms Texas Defender .45/410 is the best MADE gun I've ever held in my hand. I know it's simple design is a plus in the craftmanship department because there's not much to it, but the folks at Bond Arms really do an awesome job hand making these little guns. I really do love all my guns including the Luger my dad handed down to me that he got from a guy he worked with who brought it back from Europe after WWII. That's a piece of craftmanship as well, (and it's mint) but it doesn't hold a candle to the Defender. I guess that's why they cost so much for such a little gun.
