Mostapha - Could be lots of various differences - furniture, caliber, triggers, barrels ... but also could be because of the price the manufacturer is charging Buds for these pistols. Buds prices are based primarily on manufacturers cost to Buds and are updated several times a day based on information the manufacturers furnish pertaining to manufacturers wholesale prices.
Mostapha, because there are way fewer of this model in stock Sir. Buds prices are tied directly to stock level.
what buds says about pricing " 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"
Mostapha - I see these same pistols (Same UPC) listed on other vendors' sites for up to $1310.00 ... So Bud's really isn't that high. This pistol has a lot of options the others don't ... and therefore the manufacturer charges more for these than the others - to all vendors. Just as in automobiles - the 'deluxe' models with more options simply cost more .. a principle that is very simple to understand.
