I went by Franklin guns a second time this morning and spent a half an hour with the Mongoose. As much as my respect for Grant Cunningham got me close to a purchase, I just did not see the Korth weapon, as amazing as it is, as 3.5 times better than my PC 586 L-Comp.

At $2,499 I would buy it. But at $3,499, it is going to take a little more time for me to either reason or rationalize the last thousand dollars. :-)
