Not unlike most things you purchase today, gun manufacturers don't make all the parts that go into their products. When you rely on someone else and don't do it yourself it becomes more likely for quality, specifications and materials to suffer.
That's just the way it is nowadays. Jim

Im more concerned with errors in assembly, the stuff that they do have direct control over, before it leaves the door. Low(er) grade parts don't concern me as much as ham-fisted assembly. I realize the difference between custom and semi custom and then production guns but its obvious problems at any price point that irk me.

Well, I am no 1911 guru, but my CQB has been nothing but perfect so far. Being I am not the most 1911 smart erson, there may be something I am missing that other s may catch. However, being oblivious to it stil keeps me happy!
 I am certain every manufacturer has some get out that are not up to par. High end ones should have the fewest instances of this happening, though.

My CQB has been pretty much perfect and shoots cloverleafs..but i got mine before the Arkansas floods and flu shut the shop down in Berryville and backed them up. They have over 1800 guns in the works now, and a few bad ones are gonna get through. On the other hand, how can you beat a company that is so proactive as Wilson, what with the WCR being in a forum answering questions and addressing problems and being on top of things?
Their guns are legend, but I think what has made their business is customer service and addressing mistakes...but, thats just my opinion, and worth what anyone paid for it
