Computer pricing.

Hi David, you are not missing anything, they are exactly the same except for the safety. The price difference may be due to the safety model being a discontinued model, but that is only a guess. They both have a MSRP of $639. From Bud's FAQ page "Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day." Stay safe & have a great day!

no except the safety they are identical and come with the same mags and accessories price is because buds uses a computer program to set the price "Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly.

Hi David and welcome. This is simple. Buds prices are tied to stock level and same or similar firearms that are higher in stock will have lower prices and vice versa. Many more Manual Safety models in stock than non-Manual Safety models. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Likely more of the Thumb Safety model in stock, thus the lower price to move them out.

Stock levels have nothing to do with pricing.
