• Q: Why is this pistol nearly $1000? Does a threaded barrel, night sights and different grip really add up to a grand? I don’t see the cost to value proposition here.

  A:

  Phil, the added features should have this priced no higher than $750 and that's stretching it. A trend I have noticed at Buds is there inventory control engine. As stock goes low, prices go high and vice versa. Just wait for stock on this to increase and a lowering of price is inevitable. (I've seen low stock base models and high stock top models ridiculously close in price). For the members who question why the price of a firearm is a couple hundred bucks more from a previous few days - that's it, inventory got critically low.
