How is it (or was it) that the S6 was not economic to make but the GP-100 was? What am I missing here?

I, too, wonder why the GP is cheaper to make, and it uses a more expensive front lock, making it the Ruger equivalent to S&W's old Triple Lock! And I prefer the full frame of the older design to the GP's grip tenon.
