Okay, a little update on this subject...
I was at Bass Pro Shops today, and saw the Para model that is being offered in our department's purchase (the P1445 Limited, Stainless version).
They had this gun priced at $1049, with only two magazines, no tritium sights, no engraving, no light rail.
Seemed higher than I was expecting. But, if that is the going rate, then I think my dept is getting a nice deal on these guns!
