Labor is expensive. I get it. Thats why a Wilson or an Ed Brown or Fusion is so expensive. So I get it that a custom handgun can be $3000.00 or more.

But I just don't see 7 large here. Maybe 2K on a good day. Tell me, wise ones, what am I missing?

Joel Osteen gun, give me some money, it'll make you a better shooter. They sure are proud of the name and the hotties associated. If you're lucky, it comes with a hottie for a weekend and a course.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

I can always count on an entertaining response from the guy with my middle name.

I'd use an exclamation point, but the damned key don't work. (I can't type the number one either)

Thanks Clyde.

And have a great, gun carrying, tatib, day.

It says $7k, not $8k. But still...that's a pretty penny!

These guns used to be $3500.00 but then John Wick happened. His price listed on his website is cheap in comparison to what people ask and get for them on gun broker. Some sell for over $10,000.00.

Well when you get to be your age, you probably don't see a lot. (I kid, I kid.)

It is so expensive cause someone has to keep Taran rollin' in the dough so he can keep all that skank parading around on his social media in thongs and push-up bras. Probably building up a nice stash of cash for the eventual lawsuits for the next "Jade Struck" incident.

The more over-priced and hyped on the secondary market - the more he can make /sell / charge on the primary which = more half naked skanks running around with guns shooting the same targets over and over quickly so old dudes can whip out the fresnel lens magnifiers and watch the videos on the phone wishing they had refilled the blue pills.



Not that I would do anything different. I love skanks.If I was Taran I would be a creepy old skeezer too.

FOUR mags and a fancy bronze barrel. Those gotta add a few grand, right? Right??

Some people think you can buy skill.

Math is not my forte. :snooty:

 

[brian10x]

Corrected maths. Thank you.

 

[brandonsmash]

They're riding Keanu Reeves' coattails from John Wick, that's all.

 

[What]

FDE/Bronze DLC coated Barrel

That's why it cost extra

 

[omegaman]

But you'll look good while missing faster.

 

[knockonit]

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
:lol:

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!

What? Your education is incomplete. Go watch This Is Spinal Tap right now!

 

[iammaxwell]

But it does come with 4 mags... :roll:

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...
