A lot of weapons seem to be enjoying something of a deflationary period right now. The Walther PPS, that for years had been running about $550, can currently be found all over (on-line and even LGS's), in the $350+ range (though this may also be attributed to Walther being about to release of newer version, but still, that's a BIG drop). It's also been suggested that they've been losing sales to the cheaper single-stacks like the Shield, XDS, Ruger's,etc. so they're kinda forced to get more competetive.
