DEFJON is right on!!... Again, don't think $399 is a bad price but it's NOT a steal!!... COUGER is not a main-stream/brand-name gun so you're NOT gonna see one in every dealers case (like a S&W, Ruger, Springfield, etc.)... Don't know what part of the country you're from, but if you wanna shop, call all the dealers in a 50+ mile radius and ask 'em if they have a COUGER 9mm (but remember gas is $4/gal)... Look, as I've told my Boys, if you really, really like a gun and are gonna keep it for years, don't sweat $50+... in a couple weeks, you won't even remember what the hell you paid for it!!! The COUGER is a real good gun at $399... if it's what you really want, GET IT!! "The End!"
