I own two of the stainless guns and like them.

Doug is correct in that they are different from the vintage guns and parts are not interchangeable. "Done on the cheap" is an unfair summary in my opinion. They are made to a large degree from investment casting instead of machine milling. This is the only way that they were able to be made affordable.

They do look different from a vintage and have a very different feel due to the grip part of the frame being a little bit thicker. Are they a poor copy? I do not think so but differnt opinions are what keeps life interesting.
