New Model Prices

[wcd]

What gives is something now worth more because it just came out? I have had my eye on a Springfield EMP 4 and it seems most of the shops in my area have jacked the price up by $200.00 on them. Are they that good? Anyone have any experience with them yet?Thanks

Give it a bit they will go back down kind of like the Glock 43 etc etc.

Economics 101, supply and demand.

It's like that with any in demand gun when it first comes out. When S&W Shields hit the market, people were paying $500+ (over MSRP) for them. But, a couple years later it's hard to find them over $400 new. We see it every time the new hotness hits the shelves. People will pay more for a new to the market item, just to say they have it.

I think the price may go down within sometime, you'll just have to give it sometime!

Its those damn hipsters.


OP-Just give it a bit and I'm sure the price will drop.

Haven't fondled one yet.

But just like anything else, there is always a bigger better deal somewhere.

Broaden your searches to outside of your area, if possible, never know what you may find.

They are definitely more than old model prices!
