[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 960209, member: 229"] Outdoor America has a bad habit of posting the LEO price on something and then telling you what the real price of that gun is for non-LEO (ask me how I know - that was way back when I first started buying handguns for carry - I walked out of there more angry than I've ever walked out of a gun store before). I'm not saying that's what they did with the super-cheap price on that P238, but they have done it in the past when I've been in there. Dealer cost is basically all over the place now days - buying in volume helps lower dealer cost, but you have to move inventory because most well-priced gun shops don't make that much off of your basic handguns or rifles. Most manufacturers offer different rates for stocking dealers and preferred dealers, etc... there are also distributors who can often times beat Manufacturers prices (or match them), so some of the smarter shops have started getting their guns through the best possible way (fastest, cheapest, most reliable). It could be that H&H just isn't moving that many Sigs. It could be that they just want to make more profit off of each gun (or are in fact not making much because of the range trip). Welcome to the site btw... [/QUOTE]
