I don't think you understand my friend. The Colt small pin LPK can be had at SAW for $175 (the cheapest I have seen). The LMT is $152. You aren't just paying 15%-25% more, you are paying 200%-300% more for a LPK.
From my perspective, as long as the RRA LPK's continue to provide the fit and function I have experienced in the past, then I will continue to use their product. As I have so often indicated within the discussions of LPK's, there is currently no solid empirical evidence to suggest that the Colt/LMT kits provide a 200%-300% increase in reliability over the RRA. For me the cost/value ratio just doesn't justify that particular expenditure. But I certainly can appreciate why folks would be willing to go with the Colt/LMT kits.
And Warrior, thanks for the data. That's the best fit and function data I've seen provided to date. Now if I could just find some failure rate data. BTW, I am in agreement on the 2-stage RRA trigger, it is problematic at best. I personally prefer stock triggers, but then 27 years in the Army gave me that appreciation. :-)
