Sidearms & Scatterguns Nosebleed Pricing Insanity?

I remember a few years ago that this outfit would create a custom SP101 with your piece for not much more than $500 in materials and labor. What the hell happened?

Looks more like something for people with way too much money and little sense. I wouldn't spend that much for a barbecue gun. Even with the exotic holsters.

Now, if it were a Colt snake gun, maybe I could see it but that would even be high for a Colt snake gun (typically). Ruger, no way.

Not for me thanx

I'm not sure if it's the same people any more. IIRC they were in FL before, and their site has been dumbed down and oversimplified from what it was. I'll go see Mark Hartshorne at Pinnacle and keep my money local, and for less.

That price would be great -- if the revolvers were Korths or Manurhins.

I think I remember those guys. Did they develop a meth habit that needs subsidizing?? Slash0311 nailed it, a collector grade Python is the only wheel gun in the world I'd consider spending that coin for.

I doubt those are the same people, the site looks like garbage compared to the older format, and the prices are ridiculous. Like OP said, they used to be fairly close to the original price of the gun. Shit used models turn up from time to time in the $800ish range on the smith & wesson forums.
