I think most of the responders are dancing around the same point.
A gun that fits you properly, fits you. It doesn't matter if it was custom made for you, came from a cardboard box that way, came from the internet or came from wheretheheckistan that way. If you had a good idea of the dimensions that fit you, you may find that an off-the-rack gun is perfect for you, or it might be within possibility to fit it to you (stock bending, comb shaving, butt cutting, etc.). You sound like you're pretty average in stature and general construction, so many off-the-rack guns are likely to be good fits. Spending money for a custom gun won't make it fit better than an off-the-rack gun with a proper fit. But it will teach you your dimensions and feel of a proper fit.
