Alyssa Seymour, an experienced firearms instructor, breaks down pistol purchasing into four tiers: Cheap (<$400), Duty ($400-$1000), Performance ($1000-$2500), and Luxury (>$2500). She emphasizes that the most significant quality jump occurs from the Cheap to Duty tier, with diminishing returns thereafter. While higher-end firearms offer superior features and shooting experience, they demand more maintenance. Reliability is paramount, especially for competitive shooting, where malfunctions can be costly.
