This is exactly my point. So what if there is a premium in MA? It's $150. That's a half dozen boxes of ammo. What does it matter what the price is elsewhere? It's just the way it is in MA. I'd pay TWICE that if I had to for the tool I'm going to stake my LIFE on.
You pay a premium in Massachusetts for a lot of things: gas, housing, fresh produce. It's just the way things are. But I don't refuse to fill up my gas tank because gas is only $3 in Florida, or deny my family fresh produce because it costs half as much in California.
In the grand scheme of things, $750 (which is not necessarily the price of a GLOCK in MA, current silliness aside) is not an unfair price for a tool you're going to use every day, that's going to be drop dead reliable and that will last you forever.
The point is that Glock is a great choice but it isn't the only choice for a proven, reliable firearm that you will bet your life on.
