I don't know, Shmackey... the gun does have a fixed full-length sight rib mounted on the slide, and if it's been through a full-house Wilson customization for competitive shooting, it's not badly priced at all. I frequently visit Clark Custom Guns, and their competition conversions, similar to the one shown in the picture, cost between $2K and $3K new, and sell used for two-thirds to three-quarters of that price. Since you can "buy this one now" for less than $1,500, that doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
