There aren’t enough fan boys of Rick Grimes with deep pockets to make that proposition realistic in my opinion.
I'm not sure I agree. People seem to be making a living making 3K and well above 1911s. And if Colt is going to manager to sell a flare launcher for 2K plus, with the selling point being mostly it is Colt and not a "weapon", with the ones I found in my brief search in the $2,500 range then.....
