I don't think guys were "trashing" the Co, so much as they were the "greed factor" of the "Purveyor" and being that originals can still be bought for less ( $ 650. and $ 750. at the last Allentown gun show ) I think $ 1000. is way over priced.

I tend to get upset with guys that seem to be into guns only to see if they can make a fast buck, yes a dealer has to make a living, I know this as fact retiring from the full time gun business after 35 years, but some guys seem to do nothing but try an take advantage of fellow Single Shooters and there profit margin is almost immoral.
