I guess we would be comparing the European gun industry to the American industry. Are the European guns mass produced and distributed to hardware stores to sit on shelves waiting for a buyer or does the European maker wait for someone to come into their shop to be measured and fitted for a specific gun that has yet to be built.

Applying the painting comparison, are the two ever comparable in a sense where one is, bland, generic and workmanlike where some people like it and others dont and the other is the Mona Lisa where everyone from all over the world acknowledges it as a standard for all classic paintings.
