Well, complacency in a competitive business environment does tend to do that. If you don't innovate you die. That is unless your business strategy is to let someone else do all the R&D then clone their product after the fact. Right now I think they're going the way of AMD (except without the anti trust thing) after their K8 procs, being complacent and just basically rehashing their processors without any truly large innovations.

Now on another note. What would people say is a good company to get a 1911/MEU/Desert/Night Warrior/Hi-Capa from? I'd still probably say TM since they're "the best" for GBB's and a common name but is there any better? I'm not willing to shell out for a WA though (too expensive especially after mags).

KSC/KWA - are pretty up there with their Sys7/NS2 guns (based off their GBB Glock design) and I know their Glocks are superb (I own a KSC G19 myself)
WE/SOCOM Gear - I'm not really sure about since it's generally accepted they're pretty low quality (unless they've improved and someone can correct me on this)
WA - Out of my price range (especially after adding up the price for mags)

Any other guns/companies I should consider (keep in mind that price is a factor)? I'm basically looking for a workhorse pistol for CQB/outdoor FIBUA games. I'd like it to be 1911 based, perferably an MEU or Desert/Night Warrior, however I am looking at the Hi-Capa 4.3 and it's a pretty capable platform too. Also no I don't want to get an NBB Mk.23, yeah it's nice but not really for me.
