They may not be high for long. I find the MSRPs for the average sigs (i.e. not mastershop/x-series models) are usually more than what they ultimately retail for and can command.
The 10mm's came down to reality (at least in the us).

The stainless elites usually keep going up in price at retail shops at least. Last year they were 1400 at cabelas and now places are selling them as high as $1525. Best bet would be to just hold out for a year and get one with 20 thru it for $1000
 
its going to get depressing fast .
Older high end sigs just dropped about 200 $ from some merchants to clear stock.
Which means the margins are significant.

I love sigs and will buy more .
Had 226s 229s 2022s.

The problem will be the perception of what your getting.

Any Sig with night sites and a srt could still be a 1000 dollar gun .
Front serrations on a gun doesn't make it a high end gun.

So here we are with a new great gun. Great sites, nice grips , srt , some effort made in the frame and other perks I truly fancy.
For 950$ - 1000$. Ill buy four, two 9mm , one in 40 and one in 357SIG .

But if these thing MSRP for 1450$ ill own none. ok maybe one but not 4 .

Bruce Gray does a pretty good job explaining how this is actually a pretty sweet deal when you consider the checkering, cut out under the trigger guard, polish job on on the trigger, grayguns trigger, etc. To get all this work done on a regular P226, you would never get it anywhere near the price it is being offered.

But agreed, not something I could buy one of each. But something that I would absolutely love to buy one of.
 
true , we both sound like sig fans ... so not bashing
But i'm implying building it with an undercut , checkering , and a different trigger installed .
Doesn't really add to the cost to make the sucker

its not like they took them off the line and added it . They just built it that way .
