Not "much better", shop owner just has more profit margin on it.
It's a good gun for your purposes though, and cheap, but some complain that it catches the webbing on their hand between the thumb and first finger when firing it. Nicks it, or rubs it the wrong way and irritates it.
Some of them also have a compensator built into the front of the barrel, up top, that redirects energy from the recoil upwards to minimize barrel flip. The problem is that the smoke from the shot blasts through those holes also, obscurring vision.
If it's a range, shoot it first WC. Shoot them all if possible, one will defnitely leap out at you as your "favorite" believe me.
