lol, you know, some have it some don't, but i for one can afford it, but would never, not just cause some fella has his name attached to it,
i don't get the attraction, while its a purdae gat, and in the movies was cool as all get out to see in action, big question for me is, would i shoot it enough to warrant 7k, ...........................BIG FREAKEN NO.

but sure is purdae to look at, who ever buys one locally will buy ya a drink of magic elixer if i can touch it, heheh, and its the gat ya know

Could not stop laughing, I had never seen this clip.
Indeed buy the John Wick gun and you'll go to 11, or even 12!

Apparently someone does... Here's another one... https://www.gunbroker.com/item/914084187

IMHO - there are two pools of buyers for that gun.
1) The top 0.1% of competitive shooters who make their living shooting and put thousands of rounds a week down the barrel practicing for the three matches they will shoot on the weekend... and frankly - these guys are probably getting their guns from their sponsors anyway... but if they aren't - they'll probably buy at least 2... one to eat the thousands of practice rounds, and then a race only copy.
2) Other people who have more money than sense and want to be able to tell their buddies at the range or on Saturday morning competitions that they have something more expensive / cooler than their buddies..

People in group 1 may have a legitimate case for buying that gun - and may benefit from it.

People in group 2 - well - they get self awarded "cool points." The gun really does not buy them much else because the difference in accuracy / performance between it and something that costs 1/5th the price is not noticeable under their moderately skilled trigger finger.

Just my 2 cents...

The most I've EVER spent on a pistol was $1350 for a "as new" used
Dan Wesson stainless 10MM Valor, and I doubt that I'll EVER spend
more than that on a pistol.
