Well I have a second-hand SVI Infinity in 40 S&W, and of course it depends on the options, but the build sheet stated it cost ~$2400 in 2007. Not too bad really, depending on your perspective. I imagine his cost more since he has a steel lower.
My SVI is also the slickest pistol I've ever felt... and they included a group card that was 1.2" at 50 yards. Crazy. Schuemann AET barrel, if you're curious.
Actually, for what it is, I don't think $2.4k is all that bad. (Have you seen what Cylinder & Slide is getting for a full-tilt customized Hi-Power lately?)
Your typical Nighthawk Custom runs a bit north of that STI, but those are semi-custom handguns that are essentially hand built however you want it.
Not so sure I would want to carry such a high dollar pistol, though. Would make me nervous to have all that money tied up in a pistol that you might not see for months in the unfortunate event that you have to use it.
From a grade school friend (we both lived on farms) "Slicker than calf slobbers".
From a high school friend who rode, white knuckled, down a mountain late one time in the middle of snow storm when the roads were treacherously slick--he said the two adults in the vehicle were silient the entire trip except for a few seconds after the pickup spent some time traveling sideways for a time before the driver got it back under control. The adult passenger said, "It's slicker than a nun's cunt isn't it?"

Slicker'n cat shit on a tile floor
Slicker'n owl shit on a sycamore limb. I heard the cat and floor one a completely different way:
Busyer'n a cat tryin to bury a turd on a marble floor. ;)
"rubbing snot on glass"... Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?
I'd be curious as tio the cost of that pistol. Anybody know?
emdfl, my scientific guess is a fucking lot :)

^ That was me. Stupid echo.
At that price, it had better shit a gold brick every time you rack it.

And he would know . . . how, exactly? :-D
