Because I want to do them myself, and I don't have $1900 to spend on a gun that has upgrades, but way way more than I want or need.
Start small and simple and in a few years I will have the perfect gun for me. Let me play with a "basic" model for a while to get a feel for what i'd like to change so I don't end up spending too much on it.
As an aside, I went to the range yesterday, blew 400 rounds of Federal and only 3 FTF. Upon closer inspection it was not the gun, but the rounds themselves at fault, they were set low and cockeyed in the cartridge (set too low and uneven) and further attempts to feed were fruitless for those rounds. Don't worry, I was not about to fire thwm if the fed, just was confirming that it was the bullet not the mag or the hin itself.
While I didn't get any slide bite, after 400 rounds the webbing between my thumb and forefinger was quite red and sore. I am wondering if getting a beavertail safety would help with this. More material to brace against I am thinking...
Also, I really do need to change the front sight post, it is horrendous to do double taps with.
