    I have the GBL, about 4 months ago, solid gun, zero issues. Went over it really well at the shop before doing the paperwork. Looked at some new 30-30's also, didn't see anything. I will add that the shop did say every once in a while they do send one back as they will find a problem. Good shop high volume and selection.

    I saw that price too, but it is for a limited special edition personally signed edition batch that comes with an iron sight rail and a red dot rail along with the red dot itself. I still don't think it warrants the $5000 price tag, but you know how special edition kits and collectors go.

    Hopefully the standard street edition will be more affordable. If not, they are not making a smart business move and it will be the cause of their own demise. Although if the design is sound and reliable, some other company will buy their patents and make an affordable version and all will be good again.

    From watching the video, I got the impression they are happy with the price point and the expected volume of sales.

    Guys that run 1050's or 1100's with Ammobots are the likely market, they will pay for a pistol that has the very real potential to reduce splits just by it's function.

    As far as the price, it's not too hard to tie $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 up in an open pistol.

    I'd like to get one, but can't rationalize the cost at my level.

    $5k firm for the duration was Inranges' take on it too along with a comment similar to a poster here that someone else will likely make a mass produced price one.

    What is it with low-bore axis handguns costing beaucoup bucks? Remember the Rhino .357 Magnum revolver?

    No kidding. HK basically invented the Glock. People bitch about the HK proprietary rail system, but guess what...they were first. Technically it was Glock who debuted a proprietary rail because HK was first. They were also first with a polymer frame handgun and they even had the first high capacity magazine, polyframe with the worst trigger in the goddamn world firearm with the VP70, and even then they could point out the original was a select fire weapon. So technically HK was even there first with the Glock 18 bs.

    The Rhino wasn't (and still isn't) ridiculously expensive. It's slightly more expensive than a run-of-the-mill Ruger or Smith & Wesson medium-frame revolver and less expensive than the S&W PC guns or the Colt Python. About on par with the large-frame, eight-shot Rugers, IIRC.

    I was trying to figure out how to justify a B&T APC223 when PSA announced the Jakl. They look very similar.

    If the barrel is chrome lined and longer than it is now I might look into it.

    Their Krinks have piqued my interest though. Even though it'd add another unneeded caliber for me, one in 5.45x39 with a chrome lined barrel would force my hand!

    This is the only thing from Shot 2020 that has interested me. Not sure why they went with a shorter tube and kept the tube loader instead of getting another round in it. Other than that, it seems promising.
