Price is what the seller wants. Paid is what the buyer will give. A lot of the sellers want $400 because that's what they paid. I would like to buy one but my price point is around $300. Might go a little higher for nickel. IMO it just a range toy. For carry there are so many better options. It's size, material and caliber all work against it. I like that it uses the same mags as my 82 and my wife might like to shoot it so it's on the list.
