And that has nothing to do with the gun itself, just the manner in which it is purchased. There are manufactured items I absolutely refuse to buy without a Mark 1 eyeball, hands-on inspection, and a firearm of any type is at the top of that rather long list. If I miss out on a few great online deals, that's okay with me. I've still found the ones I've wanted.

And what, do you suppose, are the reasons behind it?
1-cost
2-gotta have the newest model and biggest capacity magazine or latest "best" caliber.
It has little to do with the actual long-term quality of the gun, because in 2-4 years, they'll be swapping them out again.
