anything under 300 thats a semi auto pistol has issues imo.
Not necessarily true. I bought a Rock Island 1911 .45 for $300. It was in like new condition w/maybe only 50 rounds shot out of it. I went to the range next week and shot off 100 rounds with no problems at all. But then again thats a 1911 for ya.
Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.
