People pay crazy prices for a $250 gun for only one reason. POLICE CARRY THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do LEO's carry them? The city budget buys the cheapest they can find. When the sheep see this they just HAVE to have a 'real LEO gun'. Not the best gun, just one LEO's are FORCED to carry.
Those old enough will remember the same frenzy with the Beretta's a few years ago. Wait a few years till LEO's replace them with something cheaper and pick them up at J&G or Classic Arms for $199.
I have 3 family members with the Police. All are FORCED to carry Glocks on the job. ALL carry SIG's off the job.
I will agree a little with the public wanting to carry what police do. Same people wanting to carry what the military carries as well. I'm sure after the announcement that some of our special forces were switching to the Glock 19 "officially" sales increased everywhere. Then again I have had more people ask me what ammo I'm carrying/issued over the years because they wanted to carry the same.
And yes I'm old enough to remember the Beretta frenzy !!!!!!!
