That is a tall order to fill. My dealer said he could never keep them in stock when he got them, and of course I am sure you are aware by now that SA has decided not to produce any more.

LOL. Hardly. I bet there are at least 50,000 of them on the market. But I am glad I have my 2.

Just a shade over $500 for a parkerized model.
ETA: I'm a bonehead. My bad. I picked up a Mil-Spec, not a GI.
Oh boy... I REALLY am a bonehead... I did pick up a GI model. Verified via model number PW9108LP.

Temp discontinued. Call SA and find out for yourself. They are backordered out the wazoo and are attempting to catch up.

Thats what I did. Maybe something has changed. They told me they were backordered to the point that they are were not offering them in 2012. They needed time to catch up on the backlogged orders.
