Answer
I'm afraid you've learned by hard experience an unyielding  principle of economics - you get what you pay for. When someone pays $500 for a gun, what he's paying for is not just the metal & heat treating, not just the execution of the machining, but the engineering behind it to insure that it will work every time.
