I mean... if it's something one wants a $1k price tag doesn't seem that bad. It's not a consumable. Kind of an interesting historical icon.

Of course you can buy a new one much cheaper.

I can get a brand new paperback of a Lovecraft book. Doesn't mean I wouldn't pay more to have a 1st edition printed in the 20s.

I think you failed to see the point here

I had no idea you were making some egotistical "point".

Spend more than you have to and by all means! Buy one that generations of GI's have learned to shoot with. Not to mention that they've been sitting around in some warehouse rusting since the Armed Forces awarded Beretta the contract back in the 80's!!! I remember trading mine in for the new M9 in '86! WTF were you trying to say again? You wanted a collector piece to shoot hobos or something?

I’d like one.

I’ve got barbed wire from the DMZ. Sure the new stuff is cheaper and I could buy a whole role.

To each their own.

Dude... are you really so short sighted that you're going to argue with me over this?

I posted the article because I thought some here may find it interesting or want to buy one. You don't. Who f#ing cares if you don't want to buy one? Don't then. They are expecting more people to want them than they'll have supply, so it's not gonna hurt anyone if you don't buy one.

But you look really stupid saying "I can buy a brand new one cheaper!" because that sure as h#ll isn't why anyone who is going to buy one would purchase it.

And no. You don't shoot homeless. You beat them up. And only a moron would get into a fistfight while carrying a gun.
