| Unless you are a gun geek then it’s hard to justify much more then $550 or so. I mean if you want a defensive weapon no more no less there is a sea of high quality decent firearms from $300ish to $550ish. Smith, Glock, Walther, Ruger, hell you can get a Beretta 92 these days cheapish. Hard to sell higher priced offerings with that market, I imagine.

| Mark up plays a direct affect on what gets pushed in a gun shop and what doesn’t. Taurus is probably the #1 seller in most shops. It’s no indictment to the worth or quality or popularity of anything else. |

| The successful gun shops across the US are filled with Sigs. These are the business owners that understand the value of "margin and ebit" over units and volume. |

| My LGS moves a lot of Taurus. G2C is a huge seller. M856 six round revolvers move pretty quickly too..

Depending on business model, location, SIGs many not be their best bet. |

| Same here. My FFL/LGS used to have at least one glass case of SIGs. Now, it's filled with other other brands.

Well, you need both margin and volume to generate an adequate return. |

| Most small gun shops survive on used guns, unless they get enough traffic that the margin on any new gun brand can make some money, by volume. That your local isn't going to stock new sigs, just tells you something about the local market and nothing more.

| My LGS is infested with all these high end Gucci Glocks now. When the new GlockStore opens in a few months in Nashville I wonder if it will bite into that.

Perhaps we should institute a group field trip once they open. |

Pure speculation on my part, but, these guys who spent tons of money on these Gucci Glocks are the same ones who complain that SIGs are expensive.
