I completely agree, but sometimes we need to be reminded not to take ourselves too seriously. At least I do. dju |

Yes, but we all know that one can not purchase Winchester 30 luger ammo for the same price as Fiocchi. I, personally, will not pay the Winchester price, as I find no fault with the Fiocchi brand, and don't feel that Winchester is any better.

I didn't/don't feel that $250 was/is a good price for any 30 Luger ammunition. Still don't. Winchester sells white box 9mm for ~$22/50 rds; why should they charge any more for 30 cal???

The short answer: economies of scale.
Most manufacturers who still produce the .30 Luger would rather dedicate that line to something obvious like 9mm. They sell maybe 100,000+ times more 9mm than .30 Luger and can't keep up with demand as it is. To stop and retool a line for a small run of .30 Luger every couple of months is much more expensive than making a best-selling cartridge. This cost will always be passed onto the consumer. |

I would like to add my "Oh for Heaven's sake"...There isn't anything wrong with this gun and with 200 rounds of ammo, for $900 it is a decent deal, not an earth shaker, but not bad.

Oops, excuse me...250 rounds of ammo...and it would appear that I agree with you. But then, I agree with a lot of things you post, so no big deal.

Thanks for all the comments. I think I am going to pass on this 1923 Commercial and look around for a military pistol. My 1920 Alphabet shooter covers the commercial models... for right now anyway!
