Same here, and I'm kicking myself for not paying attention and picking up another 97 when they discontinued them a couple months ago and sellers were blowing them out for $600-$650. I have been watching them for years just to keep track of what they're selling for, then I happened to have stopped paying attention just about exactly when they were being cleared out. I'd like to have snagged a deal on a BD model. The 97 is a very underrated gun, maybe even sweeter-shooting than the 9mm 75Bs, SP-01s, etc.
