Considering the updates, new features, availablity of parts and different chamberings this would be the route I would take. GunBroker currently has a Competitor Pistol in 307/308 listed selling for around $100 more with the S&H etc. Don't know is MRI has parts and barrels/chamberings available or if you would have to acquire them from eBay/AuctionArms/GunBroker sites. The price on the MRI pistol is reasonable but your limiting yourself when it comes to repairs and other barrels/chamberings. All versions shoot accurately and have enough mass to handle the heavy recoil produced by many chamberings. Competitor Corporation bought them out and still makes the pistol in a much improved version. Magnum Research bought them out and updated there model to the Lone Eagle and quite production in 2001. I have all three versions of this pistol in my collection starting with the first model marketed by Ordnance Technology.
