I don’t really agree. If you haven’t shopped for some of these elite level handguns you may not have much frame of reference of where the market is. If you are actively seeking one and you see where someone just got a hold of one, naturally you’ll want to hear some numbers. If you happen to own one and you’ve considered letting it go, you might benefit from a current data point. So the question is relevant.

I think it would be rude to expect or demand a direct answer, but not rude to ask.

For me, in 2019, it was the right number. 2-3-4 years ago and I would have even paid more. My budget has changed in the last 1-2 years, as have my “wants.” I plan to sell this pistol... in about 25 years from now. And that is absolutely the truth.
