9mil.mouse has it right.  I got in line early and waited months . . . and months . . . and months, after slapping down my money with my FFL.  With the high sales tax (don't get me wrong -- I'm not complaining, since my state does not have an income tax), I paid just over $1,000.  It was money well spent for the most powerful, and beautiful, 12 oz. pocket pistol yet offered.
