So in the latest issue of American Riffleman there is an article about the new FNH offering of two FNS guns in one pack.
The pack comes with two complete side assemblies, one in 9mm and one in 40 S&W, one polymer frame, 3 9mm mags, 2 40 cal mags, and the usual case, lock, ect.
They list the MSRP at $1400........ Am I the only one who doesn't get it?
The going rate for the FNS pistols is about $650, and around $600 for FNX pistols, and each comes with 3 mags I believe. Being a fan of FN poly guns, I ready the article and had interest in this offering, but when I saw the MSRP, it made me wonder this:
Why would I pay $100 more for one fewer mag, and one fewer frame?
If the MSRP was like $1100 and it could be had for $1000 in the store, then I see the benefit, but this just seems to be the same price for two complete guns, when you are getting one complete gun, one fewer mag, and a conversion upper. This makes no sense to me. Am I missing something on this one? Is this just a marketing ploy with a bad price attached to it?
