Glocks Secret Path to Profits - ARTICLE-

hence the reason i bought Beretta

That's a sensible thing to say. I'm sure a company that's as well-known and regarded as Beretta has never done anything to lessen their taxes, increase profit margins, or had any greed whatsoever.

Hmmm... Wonder if there might be some mafia links?

You bought a Beretta because of a silly article someone wrote about Glocks?

Kind of what I thought... the Meach is no dummy, but that post really befuddled me...

IIRC the markups on clothing are at minimum 200% and usually 300% if not more. And also that retail pricing in general is what the market will bear - we're buying enough Glocks at current prices so they have no reason to drop the price to increase demand.

Just ask WalMart what it is like to be successful and be hated by the government for it. They dseigned and built a gun that they could make 68% off of? Good for them! Glock overpriced? I have never owned a pistol with no FTF's of FTE's EXCEPT MY GLOCKS! I am willing to pay for the knowledge that when I pull the trigger, it will function.

On the money, God bless capitalism! Movie theater popcorn was in the neighborhood of 800% markup if I remember correctly.

They're not too cheap and not too expensive, and they are surely a reliable gun. There are far more expensive options in handguns that aren't as reliable or durable as a Glock. Class warfare has made people hate the successful even if they're relatively successful themselves! Same thing goes for successful businesses, they're bound to be attacked, happens each and every day. I think it's insane! Anyway, as a wise man probably once said, "Don't hate the player, hate the game."
