If you add it up, 400 for the gun, a potential but not always definite 60 bucks at the gun shop to smooth the feed ramp and tune the extractor, another 100 for the cost of all the reloaded ammo you'd need to break it in and have enough left over to carry, and maybe another 100 to buy 3 good magazines, it's still in a price range competitive with Glocks.
But, if you don't have a reloading set, and you're a new shooter, this would still be a tremendous and annoying hassle.
