Just talked to Earl about the 2005 P99 with the long mag release, he imports them with the AS trigger still! $825 brand new.

 

[Navy87Guy]

Wow...I was wrong! I guessed that Earl the Shyster was going to charge $800 for the AS model. I see I underestimated his greed!

Glad I got mine when I did!!

 

[DavePont]

eff that...i'd rather get 2 glocks for that price

 

[peterk]

Still cheaper than a HK P2000 most places

 

[madecov]

I'll get another 03 from CDNN
Or for $300.00 less I can still get my hands on an 04 AS

 

[DavePont]

so are you going to tell us this secret 2004 AS distributor? haha

 

[stunksinatl]

I saw a couple 03 and 04 AS's at Eastman's Gun Show in Atlanta recently.

If anyone has a good gun show coming to town, I'd suggest looking there. Prices on the 04 were about 6-650... NIB

[madecov]

It's a wholesale source.

They always charge more in Panama. I'm from there and I know it. I live in People's Republic of Kalifornia and just got a P99C AS for $350 total.

$350 is an incredibly good price for a P99C.

 

[Stoping Power]

my Glock 23 cost me 900$

If that's how much it cost you for a Glock, I can imagine how much a SIG or a Colt 1911A1 would cost. Especially considering that US dollars is used in Panama and the wages are not that good there as compared to the US.

 

[Nocturnal]

$350? Where?

 

[Stoping Power]

Yes we use the Dollar but is expensive in guns i dont know why

Sigs 1,400
Glocks 900
1911 1,400
walther 950 or 1,000
Beretta 92FS 1000
taurus 700

Here in the L.A. area, I bought it at an Turners Outdoorsman. It was a consignment. When I came in, my intention was to buy a Glock 30 that they had on consignment, but it was gone. So, I saw that compact pistol, at first, I thought it was a SW99C, but upon looking closer, I saw it was a Walther and the price tag said $299.99. I checked it carefully and thorughly and without needing to think about it, I just bought it. It costed me $350 total with tax, CA registration and other paperwork.

Stoping Power, Are you a Panamanian?

The thing is that Panama always overprice any imported product to sell it. Not just firearms. Another example is clothing: shirts and pants that you cam purchase in the US for $15-$20. In Panama, they charge twice that.

Another thing is that in Panama, it ends up that only one person get exclusive rights to import firearms and therefore, that person is being a pr*ck by monopolizing the market and jack up the prices. Greed at its best.

I think everyone would be even more astonished at Earl's prices if they had an opportunity to see what he calls his place of business. You would think that with his outragiously high prices he was trying to support some palace of a shop, what he actually has is a hole in the wall shop in the back of a garage in a remote area of a town in northern MA. the area that a customer can stand in is tiny, you can walk maybe 4 steps inside before running out of room. Maybe he is trying to make each gun sale pay for another trip to Germany.
