Do Glocks have list price under $500?

The best place to check prices is http://www.budsgunshop.com

I'm getting ready to get a new carry gun.  Probably going to be the Springfield XD-S 9mm or S&W M&P Shield in 9mm.  Both under $500.

I can believe how stupid expensive revolvers have gotten.

Let me know what you want before you buy. I can probably get you a better price.

Had a bersa thunder .380, great gun and very accurate. Have a springfield XDS 3.3 .45 now and love it. Definitely my favorite carry gun. But nothing beats a 1911 .45... and yes, I do carry that one from time to time  //;D// I don't care to own a glock. Too much $ and tons of other options out there. Never owned one but never cared for them either.
I've grown tired of this.

The article is based on guns under $500,

and they probably use list price as the guide,

so Glocks wouldn't be considered if the list is at or above $500.

Agreed.  I also bought my Kimber 1911 and M&P9c there.

Good people.  Same folks who own Cherokee G&P. 

I didn't know that, I will have to swing by and check their selection. I got the itch for a new boom stick
